I recently attempted to revive the 250SE engine. Yes, it is running now, yet I’ll not run it for long. In my initial inspection I noticed poor fuel delivery on cylinder 1 and somewhat less than satisfactory on cylinder 3. Pump low rpm setting was turned up quite a bit. I assume it was before the car was parked, long, long time ago. The fuel system was dry and some lines corroded when I got it.
Anyway , Here is the question I got;
Can I use the known good 230 pump temporarily in place of the 250 until I get that one sorted?
Is the fuel volume difference large enough to cause issues at low load?
I thought about compensating with shims on the barometric compensator to increase the fuel volume slightly. Am I on the right path or totally out to lunch?
