Default Stock truck with bottomed out star wheel?????

Me and my dad purchased (see sig) and we took the cap off the fuel pump and reached the starwheel in the bottom. As everyone was tellin us to do they said to bottom it out for more fuel and smoke. Well when we got to turning it clockwise it wouldnt budge? but no one had been in the pump before? Wats up wit tht?

No no, if you couldn't turn CW, was wondering if you could turn it CCW to rule out a sticky bolt.

i turned my star wheel down on my truck. it won't hurt it you'll notice more smoke when your turbo spools up but if you want more power you needa make sure you install guages
