What color is the smoke, does it smell like raw diesel or sooty, how many miles on the engine, turbo or N/A, do u still have a muffler?

I wonder how much the IP fuel setting is cranked up?

When the engine is cold when first started do you have a rattle that goes away when the engine warms up?
Rattle should be more pronounced with a slight depression of the throttle.
The rattle should quite when the fast idle kicks off.

What is the power like with the new pump?
Any change the air filter needs changed?

What are you meaning by fuel lock?

Try running a compression test you will at least know more about the condition of your engine.
