[Vwdiesel] Rebuilt IP / Engine Won't Start

[James Hansen]

Funny you should mention that.
The pump I had rebuilt (resealed) this summer for my sprayer had this 
very thing wrong with it, only it was one spline out the other way from 
where it should be.  It went to max rpm on starting, no throttle action 
at all.   Slightly embarassed buddy at the Bosch shop came out and reset 
it (it was a rush job he squeezed in, so it's forgiveable).  Not tough 
at all actually.  Bunch of lines all line up, put on spring, arm, 
spring, cap,nut,fight, then with a piece of steel brake line, put the 
springs on where they attach to the lever.
