You should be able to play with the pump and get a bit more power out of it. Just go in small increments and write a log of what you adjust, how much, ect, so if something goes wrong you can always back track to the last adjustment. You should be able to dial it in right where you want it.

well some scumbags stole all the fuel out of it, along with my welder, and about $800 in scrap aluminum and copper so i just put more diesel back in it yesterday because i have been broke as a joke after wrecking my truck and getting all these parts to put it back together, i have ran a few small jobs nothing huge yet, it will get good in the spring, maybe haul some snow this winter
