All QST30 engines built before January 3, 2000, have a two letter fuel pump timing
code on the engine dataplate instead of a numerical fuel pump timing value. The
following table contains all two letter fuel pump timing codes and their corresponding
nominal value in degrees.
Use the following procedures for assistance in timing the QST30 fuel pumps:
