I don't understand why it is so hard to come up with true, complete yes/no answers to adjusting the OM617 IP. Nobody can find a manual on the IP, the MB FSM does not go into deatil of IP adjustment, and nobody can seem to document even taking off the panel of one! :rolleyes:

I bet if sombody will take the time to go by a fairly large diesel injection shop, they would be happy to give you a photocopy of the full-load adjustment procedure (With a little begging, promising not to misuse it, and $$$ ;) )

I know we have the OM603 IP picture, but I bet dollars to doughnuts they are not exactly alike and somebody will F-up their pump by turning the wrong screw using the 603 diagram.

Here's your 617 injection pump.

Enjoy!

Sorry, unlike other forums, it won't let me post the pdf. :furious3:

Crap............................I want a copy of that too.

please email that .pdf file to emlake@chartermi.net or elake@grand-t.com

Click on 07 Diesel Injection System

Click on 07.1-010 Operation Injection Pump with Governor (this opens pdf file)

Also see this adjustment procedure for an OM352--very different engine, but does discuss the caveats about installing a correct pyrometer PRIOR to turning up the fuel volume:

Thanks for those links......

There's some JPGs of a Bosch book with some interesting info in this thread:

And, in this thread there is a link to a photo of an OM617.95x pump with the rear cover removed - the only picture I've seen:

Yeah there isnt a definate answer as to where the EXACT location is on the 617 pump....what will I adjust?

Although we're not 100% sure yet, it sure looks like (from the photo & Bosch manual info I linked to above), that the adjustment is in the middle vertically, on the right side, in the photo with the rear plate removed. That's the hex-nut looking thingy with, I believe, a setscrew of some sort in the middle.

:)

Well hopefully someone will answer this soon enough......

I think someone will need to print that photo, take it to a Bosch shop, and ask them nicely "which widget adjusts the full-load fuel delivery"?

:D :D

check the enclosed pic for my question...

Bingo. That's the one I *think* is the 617 full load screw. (But I'm not positive!)

:confused:
