With all due respect, setting up an injector pump and timing on a diesel tractor is a job for the pros. At the very least, you have to have the proper manual.
 
Just went through this last weekend.
I'm assuming you timed the gears correctly?
If you have the gears timed like is shown in the picture then there is only one way for the pump to go on as it is indexed to the gear.
There are timing marks by the upper right bolt on the pump where it bolts to the engine. Set the line on the pump to one line down from the 0 and it should start after you get it bled.

Hey atleast you have timing marks on the gears. I am at the same stage with a standard diesel, the British 4 before the Perkins 3 came out. There are no timing marks, just the direction of the keyway, the position fo #4 cam lobes, holy macrel. I am figuring on not putting any of the front end together incase I am off a tooth- or whatever might be my fault. Once it seems to fire OK, I will shut it down and put on the timing cover, pulley and water pump. I got very little out of the I&T on this subject, compare to how acurate it needs to be. good luck with yours.
 
thanks for reply, hope you get it right, good idea to ensure all is well before closing up the front, not tried advice yet but will be a great feeling when / if it starts up
 
Hi, found the I@T too advance , more about repairing individual items and checking sizes what is needed is a more basic manual on setting up an engine , there must be one out there.
