I just got my injection pump rebuilt and am having some trouble. I believe it is the timing of the injection pump I am having problems with but I could be wrong.
Here is where I am at... (White smoke and no power, runs slightly rough), before the rebuild it was very smooth and would start with the slightest bump of the key.
Any advice would great, this is my first diesel and feel a bit in over my head.
Thanks again,

- Everything is bolted back on, I double checked the timing of the engine and all the timing marks align except the cam gear appears to be a tiny bit off. It may have been like that before I put the new belt on but I did not notice. If it would be on any other tooth it would be way off I think (view attached picture). In any case I think the timing is right but wanted to include that bit of info.
- I had originally set the timing of the pump to 1.06 on the dial indicator but it seemed to jump around a bit as I would spin the motor counter clockwise to zero out the gauge and then back. Say from 1.06 to 1.11.
- So I set it for 1.06 and primed the system with the pump on top of the filter. Took a few tries to get it to start, it ran rough and poured white smoke out of the tail pipe. Drove it around the block a few times, white smoke and when you floor it almost nothing would happen.
- Came back and checked the pump timing, it was now at 1.13. Reset it back to 1.06 and tightened everything back up. Tried to start it and it would not stay running.
- Rebuilder removed the ACSD but don't think that would have effect on anything.
