I rebuilt my case 580 Ck and now have some troubles. I wrestled it out, rebuilt it, sleeves, mains, rod bearings, had crank out and machined. Put it all together and got it back in place. It turns over and sounds good but does not fire. I have fuel coming into injectors from pump. I disconnected the fuel lines and saw the squirts visually. I spray ether in the intake and nothing. Everything looks good but it doesn't fire. My question is, what causes this thing to fire?. It seems I'm missing something simple like an electrical connection. What gives this thing spark if there is no glow plugs. I double checked the timing and crank and crankshaft line up with the dot and the dot, dot. The pump mark lines up with the pointer and the crankshaft dot. I even yanked the cover off the inspection port on injection pump and lined yhe marks up. Everything seems good, but not firing. If this were a gas engine I would say it had no spark. I am new to diesels. So I'm not sure where to start. Stepping back and thinking about it. Any help would be awesome.
