This has been discussed on a previous thread on a U series engine. Right off the top of my head I can't remember if it was a stationary engine or one in a tractor?
I did a search and found some theads on setting the rack on the 5U series. It talked about a tool 3H1690 that you can replace for one of the pumps. The rack is different on the J series and the book I have does not say anything about the tool for any of the series but it is an old book. What I was wondering is if there is a different way to set the J series than what the book I have decribes.
I have also contacted a couple of sources that I have on getting the older tool and no one knows where one is located. I would also like to know if anyone knows of one some where in the Northwest that I might be able to use. If not then I will just use the setting that it is at. This pump housing came from a parts engine and I would like to have it checked before I put it on the cat while I have it apart.
Thanks
There will be a U and my J at a Show this weekend. I'll have to take a look at the racks?????

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
