Anything that affects the fuel pressure to the injection pump such as a plugged filter or pinched line will change the timing. A restricted
fuel return line will also cause a timing shift. If the pump timing is adjusted, and later it is discovered that the fuel system is restricted,
the timing system may be incorrect. Should this situation be encountered, it will be necessary to check and adjust pump timing as
necessary.
