Just rebuilt the engine on a JD4020 with the Roosa pump. Tractor starts and seems to run well once it starts, but it takes an excessive amount of cranking before it does start. Removed the rectangular cover over the timing marks view port and the two lines are offset about 1/8 of an inch with engine off.
Is that enough to cause a hard starting issue?
I can't seem to rotate the pump enough to get the lines to match up. Too much tension on all the steel high pressure steel lines between pump and injectors. Any hints on how to overcome this tension? These lines were bent during removal and it took a lot of struggling to get everything connected without crossthreading anything. (Did I mention that I hate steel lines).
Thanks for any insights
