Star wheel
 
how far can you turn the star wheel down in the pump will it stop once its all the way down? also does it give much power compared to the increas in smoke?

It will stop when it gets all the way down

RSWORDS 09-14-2009 05:56 PM

yep

TTipsword 09-14-2009 07:34 PM

is it worth the power gain?

jasonfriedlin 09-14-2009 09:31 PM

IDK it gives you some more low end smoke and maybe a little power but it results in slower turbo spool. Its really not hard to adjust and can be better used with an aftermarket fuel pin to fine tune. Adjust it, if you dont like it put it back where it was or play around with it some

its kinda strange. it feels like it just moves the torgue ban a little bit.

cumminskid92 09-15-2009 04:05 PM

i didnt notice any more smoke or power with mine. i went all the way down with mine

TTipsword 09-15-2009 06:31 PM

ya i dont think its much of an improvement.

captain_stabbin 09-15-2009 07:24 PM

all i noticed by movin mine was, with it all the way foward it spools faster an all the way back it takes forever to spool

TTipsword 09-15-2009 07:36 PM

what do you mean forward? all the way in or all they way out? kinda lost me

captain_stabbin 09-15-2009 07:38 PM

sorry all the way forward meaning toward the front of truck

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.

TTipsword 09-15-2009 10:43 PM

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

NadirPoint 09-15-2009 11:08 PM

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.

What star wheel?? I didnt really find much use for the spring either......Same with my idle screw......

TTipsword 09-16-2009 10:43 AM

the spring in your pump sits on the star wheel

seandonato73 11-01-2009 08:55 PM

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:U:
