You run ATF or diesel kleen through your pump? Could be something sticking....
As far as timing, i just listened for the 'rattle' with the cold advance on, but none with it off.....warm engine....

I'll pick up a bottle of diesel kleen and see how it does.
I was also told you can use trans fluid?

trans fluid will work good,as long as your not worried about getting your tank dipped,with results of a multi thousand dollar fine possible.

LOL that is the reason I quit using atf in mine. I just hope that all the red is gone by now. I used to run a gallon jug once a month thru her.

LOL I have nothing against t fluid in the filter, but I don't like it on a cold engine, so I wouldn,t let it sit in the pump and injectors to clean them. There is much better stuff on the market to use, in my opinion.
If you fill the filter with atf probably at least half of it winds up in the tank,
