I have new rebuilt L series diesel.
This 5L has just been rebuilt. It cranks wells and it’s getting fuel.
I’ve been chasing this no start for a couple days. First issues was that I installed the injectors wrong with no seals and seat.
• Fuel: the injectors are all bled. New seat and gaskets. Injectors were removed as working fine
•Power/Spark: The two batteries have been on tender and are fully topped off. I wait for glow plug light to turn off before trying to start. New glow plugs showing up tomorrow.
I even threw a ground from the battery to engine block with a jumper cable, to see if it was a ground issue
•Air: Intake is off and it’s getting air. Butterfly valve is open. Throttle cable is not fully installed, spring for accelerator cable assembly went missing and I have new one inbound.
the page you linked in the FSM is for fine tuning the pump timing, you need the page that talks about installing the pump for the first time. Be 100% sure that you are on top dead center cyl 1 compression stroke and not exhaust stroke.

Next step is to check power to stop solenoid, then verify how much fuel is coming out of injector pipes. From my understanding some fuel can make it to injectors even if stop solenoid is active. So even though I seem the injectors prime, maybe it’s not getting enough fuel?
After that I will install new glow plug (even though I shouldn’t need them at all at 90F) and new injectors (old injectors could be fouled from carbon).
It’s in time, I have air, I have to verify fuel and it seems to have compression
I got it started. No power to fuel stop solenoid. I ran a wire from the solenoid d to the fuse box to text an she fire right up.
Now to trace the wire back to find if its unplugged or broken somewhere.
Bit a black smoke but she cleared up almost immediately
