Transit 120 Diesel Pump Broken linkage Help Please

[bcottseaney]

I have bought a transit it has a broken linkage on the side of the diesel pump, I think it has something to do with the cold start. There is a plastic linkage hanging downwards to where it used to connect to a small lever. I have removed the broken lever and repaired it, but it was located on a splined shaft of which I am not sure of its correct position. I do not know if this will cause any problems. Please help as I know nothing about diesel engines. Petrol is more my thing!
