1994 ford f250 7.3 idi turbo diesel

i have recently turned the pump up 3/8 of a turn and advanced the timing by a 1/16 of an inch . . . made a big difference in performance

Well, just replaced the returns lines, hats and o-rings. Next is lift pump. Can't find any other leaks, but it's hard to start after sitting for an hour or so. Even if it's warm. I've not plugged mine in since I replaced all my GPs and the Controller. I love my truck but, coming in from two weeks on the road and having to ether her is a pain!
