System Pressure

  1. Check and note existing pressure. Remove pressure regulating valve from fuel distributor. See Fig 1.
  2. Adjust pressure by changing shims in shim stack. Add shims to raise system pressure. Remove shims to lower system pressure.
  3. A shim change of .020" (.5 mm) will change system pressure approximately 4.2 psi. (.3 kg/cm2 ). Ensure any replacement shims are identical in diameter to existing shims.
