Stuck in Victorville - any help would be appreciated :)

Hey guys,

2 Canadians stuck on our engagement trip with an 82 westy here.  We have an original diesel with a swapped  a 1.9 TD (Aaz).  We mistakenly ran out of fuel and sucked up some dirt we think.  Filled up with about 10 bucks of diesel and bled the lines and after much effort it started and ran fine.  I had to turn the van off to install a serp belt back on but didn't have enough battery to get it going again and had to call a tow truck.

Let it sit over night after we got towed and got it started but it's really running like hell.  Seems to be over fueling. Judging by the unburnt smoke.  But also sounds super clacky ( hopefully the motor isn't gone ,:(

Giles pump is practically new (1000 miles)and seems to be working properly
Engine was rebuilt 10000 miles ago. 

Re- bled all the lines and let it run for atleast 20 mins but nothing changed

The only thing we did in-between when it started after running out of fuel and when we tried the next day was try to bump start it a couple of times...a bump start couldn't the motor could it?

Just wondering if they're any local gurus that could help in the area or online?  We are currently stuck in Victorville California. 

Thanks in advance

Might have jumped timing on the injection pump during the bump start.
 Might be off by a tooth.

If you got it up and running and it sounds clacky then loosen the IP and move it towards the engine and see if it improves.  If it actually makes it worse pull it away from the engine.  You may have it advanced too much or too little.  If you can get it some place to check the timing that would do a world of good for it and save you fuel costs as well.
