My startwheel just goes 'round and 'round. I can't tell which direction it's pointing. I turned it counterclockwise until it stopped smoking like a freight train before the turbo spooled.

when you turned it out until it stopped smoking before the turbo spooled did you loose any power?

Nope. Once you start adding fuel the AFC adjustments become pretty useless except to back them all the way out - unless you're just trying to make smoke.

i dont no about most guys but i ground my pin down some my starwheel is down as far as it goes an the truck does smoke pritty bad in the bottem but my spool time seems to have stayed the same i took that little plastic washer out form around the pin... as for fueling my power screw is turned in about 1 3/4 turns.....all in all i think you will just have to play with the afc setting till you get it where you like it keep a screwdriver an a 12 mm ( i think) in your truck... can't be afraid to play with the stuff
