Default RE: try uniflow setup..!

That's pretty good Ed. Maybe one thing to add to the magical pumps part is that these pumps are adjusted on volume not pressure and since every engine uses a different amount of fuel there is no "magical setting" or one size fits all approach. Setting the high needle before hooking the pump up and then turning the hex inward after hooking it up until it ran perfect without moving the high speed needle is what I did and it didn't take long either. I just left the glow plug hooked up (I use a power panel anyway so no batteries to worry about) and I would start it, shut it off adjust and start it again until I got it right. After getting the high end running good I had to lean the low end but can't remember how much exactly. It wasn't much though. It was pretty good when I throttled back after getting the high end right so not much was needed there.
