Hi all, new to this forum. We have a John Deere 219 engine with a Stanadyne JDB 2729 injection pump. We just rebuilt the engine. We static timed the injector pump with #1 cylinder at TDC compression stroke and injector timing lines lined up. We couldn't check for backlash on the gear since the engine is so tight we can't crank it by hand. This injector pump came from a different JD 219 engine, possibly turbo. We bled the fuel lines going to the injecors and have good fuel there. While trying to start it, it just smokes and almost runs but will not start. Smoke is white. We're unsure of the hours of the injectors, but the head has been sent out and shopped. We're thinking it's either the injector pump out of time or bad injectors. If it's the timing should we rotate the pump on the shaft or use the timing screw at the bottom of the pump?
Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated!!
I have spent several hours searching the web for any answers and can't find anything that fits our dilemma.
