I finally was able to turn the fuel up in the 1990 M925A2. I ended up taking both the 14mm and 10mm nuts completely off since I didn't have a way to adjust them separately with the tools I had. I am having a special 14mm socket made that will allow the 10mm socket to reach through the center of it. You can remove the nuts w/o a special tool but you'll need a DEEP WELL 14mm socket!
Special thanks to nevrenufhp for his patience and technical assistance!
A video is found below....it's not exciting, rather, the purpose is to show how much smoke there is (or isn't!). I was expecting a lot more smoke. In fact, prior to turning up the fuel, we had already turned up the fuel at idle (a different adjustment on the fuel pump) ~3/4 turn out which made the rig roll serious coal when you got on it in 1st gear. But after I turned up the main fuel, the smoke really mellowed out.
I will say that the bottom part of 1st is still a dog but apparently you can remedy this to some degree by turning up the idle fuel. I'll toy with that later.
The truck does run faster. I like it. I'll be able to keep up with traffic better and hopefully not bog it down going through these Colorado mountains. I have added a boost & EGT (exhaust gas temperature) combo gauge added. If you plan on turning up your fuel, I highly recommend that you install an EGT gauge. Otherwise you risk burning up your motor.
On a side note, I'm powder coating some parts to give it some eye candy. We just finished the indicator light cluster (flat black w/white letters) that holds the indicator lights found in front of the steering wheel. Looks great and it is very durable. Now on to other parts!
