did you back the metering valve screw out?what leaf spring do you have in it?with it wide open you shld get 215 easy,dash 3 spring and a 3lm466 charger 250!

I get 250 out of my 1256 with the old stock charger and punching the fuel some. Use to run a 1206 at 225 with just the fuel punched up some and they were 361's and the 1256 is a 407. I would think 250 should be easy. I would think with a 3lm and a 450 head you should get 400 easy enough.

It's a reman my gues would be they got it to pump enuf fuel for stock with old worn out parts and said good Enuff And shipped it

Re: international 1256 pump January 27, 2015 10:04AM
Really I didn't know that of coarse u gotta pull the whole thing apart to get to it ...

Re: international 1256 pump January 28, 2015 12:39AM
The only .390 heads I've seen in an oem application are some Minneapolis Molines.

Re: international 1256 pump January 26, 2015 12:48PM
I'm not sure what spring I just cranked it up an backed the out side fuel screw out I think this year I'm gonna just have a diffrent spring put in and a little tweaking if I can get to 250 with out a 450 head if at least not be so embarrassed out there .....

Re: international 1256 pump January 26, 2015 02:36PM
You did turn the leaf spring down right!not being a smart ass,just asking.the metering valve screw on the outside shld be backed all the way out.when you have the cover off you can see the metering valve. You don't want it to hold it back any.

Re: international 1256 pump January 26, 2015 11:59PM
Haha yes I turn it down ... Righty tighty , and the one in the top cover out

Re: international 1256 pump January 27, 2015 02:07AM
we removed the leaf spring. worked good , farmed all week pulled on weekends . all adjustment was done with external screw.

Re: international 1256 pump January 27, 2015 02:19AM
That's surprising it only had 150hp.maybe the pump is getting tired.

Re: international 1256 pump January 27, 2015 02:58AM
It's a reman pump my gue is they got it to work good Enuff with old worn out parts and shipped it

Re: international 1256 pump January 27, 2015 03:52AM
some of these pumps when stock had shims on screw between leaf spring and roter to limit how far it can be tightened

Re: international 1256 pump January 27, 2015 02:26PM
Through the course of time, its hard to tell what pump is even on it anymore. For cheap power find a good 5020 pump, file down the leaf spring or leave it out altogether, make sure it has the steel weight retainer, if you can find a steel flywheel take out every other govener weight and go to town. I believe to make the 5020 .390 pump work on a international all that has to be done is relocating a couple of injection lines due to firing order.

Re: international 1256 pump January 28, 2015 12:09AM
5020 didn't have a 390 there the same as a 12.both had 370's on them.

Re: international 1256 pump January 28, 2015 02:24PM
I think I have a 390 head and rotor, no real use for itt
