Well, I never checked the fuel pressure... but I did stretch the spring to XXmm per the FSM. My goal is not really to make smoke, but to make power. An indicator being that I have enough fuel would be smoke. Then I could dial the fuel to reduce smoke.


My concern is that others who have removed their ALDA and made similar adjustments get decent smoke (i.e. too much fuel). Whereas I didn't see much of a change in smoke. I still haven't messed with the max-speed or torque control governors in the IP.
