so i just tried turning up the star wheel to increase smoke right. and i did it and started the truck up and pushed the throttle to see if anything would happen and the rpms went up and never came back down i had to just turn the truck off cause i didnt know wat else to do and worse thing is no smoke lol what did i do wrong?

 

that would be a runaway here....

 

yea but how did it happen? i didnt think that could happen wit the star wheel?

iam not shure by adjusting the starwheel that gives you mode fule at low boost and the smoke screw gives you the smoke but theres guys with no afc at all and they dont have a prob iam stumped

 

i thought the star wheel was the smoke screw? im kinda confused now

ok i read the thing and im still confuesed i feel like an idiot lol so the star wheel is not the smoke screw then wats that do? and wat does the smoke screw look like

 

Under the AFC diaphragm and spring is a star wheel adjustment which sets the spring tension on the fuel load delivery rate diaphragm. If your star wheel (under the AFC spring) is set too high, the delivery rate pin won't move downward as it should with increasing boost levels. Turning the star wheel up (counterclockwise) increases the spring pressure, and slows the delivery rate. I'd suggest turning the star wheel down (clockwise) in 1/4 turn increments until you smoke, then back off (counterclockwise) till smoke is gone to your satisfaction, or smoke on under power, a black haze, not a black soot cloud. The retaining lock spring doesn't have to be removed, the star wheel will rotate with a small screwdriver gently placed and pried between the wheel and it. Note the location of the wheel, mark it, and count any turns for reference. Remember: Star wheel down=less spring resistance=increased fuel delivery rate. This diagram of the location was

 

did you pull the fule pin?
if so you know what it looks like the pin has a rack that rides in it the pin is cone shaped by turning the wheel it makes the spring move the pin deeper with less boost the smoke screw (on top of the cover that you took off to get to the wheel) the little torx screw in the center is the smoke screw by turning that it also makes the pin deeper (RULE THE DEEPER THE PIN THE MORE FULE AT LOW BOOST)

 

ok so before i removed anything the smoke screw was under that circular cap where its like a different color then the rest of it?

 

oh wait i got wat you mean i think so i turn that until the pin goes deeper

 

you probly wont see it move any deeper but thats the idea!
