Just an update for everyone:
Thank you so much for helping with this timing exercise of mine !!! Also, diesel tastes very bad
I got the crank/cam perfect. And I mean that although there are no pics. I also got the pump timed to .040" (1.5 Pump). I know this is much advanced but I thought it would still work. I went through the exercise until repetition was produced at least a hand full of times in a row.
My fuel source is a one gallon can with clear line to filter, new filter, and clear line from filter to IP. Return line is also clear and goes into a milk jug.
I filled the IP with ATF and the fuel filter with diesel. Used a primer bulb (that doesn't really work well). I need to figure out a better way to purge the lines, clamp it and then insert onto pump.
But it won't start.
1. there is tons of air in the lines, but there is also diesel flow during the cranking process. and enough to make fire.
2. IMHO there is no fire. It sounds like it's just turning over and over and pushing fuel through.
I stuck a circuit tester on the GP relay/fuse? on the firewall and on the #4 strip and turned the key on. There was nothing.
So... tearing off the pump to the put the 1.6rebuilt on. Pimping GP. And we'll try this again.
Thanks, Michele
