Yes, sorry, 240 ticks per minute. It keeps working like this till the thermostat temperature is reached, then the heater stops . After a while, when the temperature decreases below the thermostat settings the heater starts again. I did not use the heater for a long time and I'm not sure, but I thought the pump rate would decrease a lot after some minutes. May be I'm wrong, may be 240 ticks per minute is the normal rate ?
I've got a good amount of heat, no smoke, thermostat is working fine to stop the heater. Lets say the pump rate is 240 per mn... or it' s stopped... never reduced. Is that normal ?
Sell your story to PBOWhile stripping and servicing a D3L which I bought sechand I learned some useful facts about them both from an employee of Colchester fuel injection ltd (who supply the all important Wick and felt rings/gaskets etc) and some of you forumites.
I took a series of pics while I was assembling it and added some, somewhat squigley lines and some comments which I felt would be useful to someone who has never stripped one of them as I hadent before.
I have been asked a few times for the pics, and since there is quite a few of them, emailing them is slow.
I am putting the pics on here for future refference.
Hope its not too many pics for the moderators, or perhaps they can put them somewhere that they will be available during a related search.
Not trying to teach those already in the know how to suck eggs.

This end of breather pipe fits into rubber housing around glow plug and allows ari to circulate around top end of glow plug preventing a build up of condensation hence preventing corrosion problems on the glow plug electrical connection.
Oops, just realised how old the original is
It certainly shouldn't switch itself off when it's reached required temperature, it should reduce and maintain the temperature. Maybe it's a really old/basic set up, or incorrectly set up, I dunno I'm afraid...
