2.1.2 Inspecting and adjusting fuel injection
valve opening pressure
&$87,21
Never touch the injection nozzle tip during nozzle
injection test.
(1) Mount the nozzle on the nozzle tester.
(2) Push down the handle at a speed of once a second and
read the pressure when injection starts. Make
adjustment if it is outside the standard.
(3) To adjust the injection start pressure, remove the set
screw on the nozzle holder, loosen the cap nut and turn
the adjusting screw with a driver.
(4) After adjustment, tighten the cap nut and set screw with
the specified torque.
(5) After tightening the set screw, check if the injection
start pressure is within the standard again.

2.1.3 Inspecting fuel spray pattern of fuel injec-
tion nozzle
(1) When adjusting the nozzle opening pressure using the
nozzle tester, check for nozzle hole condition, and fuel
spray pattern.
(2) Checking points of fuel spray are as follows:
· Fuel is injected from all spray holes simultaneously.
· Fuel is injected conically at the specified spray angle.
· Fuel is injected in a spray of fine droplets.
· Fuel is injected without after-dribbling.
(3) If spray condition is faulty, clean or replace the nozzle
tip.
