Hi All,
I've got a problem with my AX. When I peg it up to check the timing it all lines up, however on the pulley you can see that the bolts have been undone and moved round.
When I set this to the original position it won't fire up. If I move it the other way it smokes madly at idle and even moreso on the move.
General symptoms are: getting about 300 miles to a tankful. If you are sat at lights you get a nice diesel smell. Runs out of power at about 80ish. Can get to 90 with a hill and tailwind
I've been told that the diesel pump is on it's way out. However I was also told that a diesel pump either stops working completely or is working perfectly, no inbetween. I personally think that due to it have moving parts it can wear.
Could anyone shed anylight on what it could be. I leaning towards diesel pump, but part of me is hoping it's not and is a cheap fix.
Thanks for any suggestions.

AX 1.5D Timing Prob
