Good to get all our cylinders in line. This brings me back to my question from yesterday: What about feathering when the thing is just getting going? That's always been my way of coaxing a cold gasser along.
And further, what is the actual effect of feathering the pedal on this type of system. Does depressing the pedal actually squirt fuel? Or simply ratchet up the IP? Or what? As I said yesterday, I understand the workings of a carbureted gas engine, where there is a direct linkage between your foot and the accelerator pump which squirts fuel down the throats. But what about these diesel systems? Note: Those listers annoyed by such a simplistic, basic question may simply delete - no need to get worked up.
