I had the CAV pump rebuilt after problems with contaminated fuel. When removing old pump I failed to scribe matching mark on timing gear case cover. I have reinstalled pump but engine will not start. I have bled all lines and am getting a large amount of soot and black smoke out of the exhaust which indicates to me that fuel is getting into cylinders. In fact engine fires and spins up but won:t quite run. I suspect timing issues. My manual from the dealership does not have any info on removing, installing or timing the pump.. I have a manual (ITC) that says to align a mark (the letter E) with a snap ring under inspection plate on side of pump. This is to be done with #1 cylinder at TDC and after aligning a timing mark (spill 18) on the flywheel with the center of the inspection hole in bell housing. My flywheel has marks indicating 20, 24 and 28 degrees presumably before TDC. Should I extrapolate to estimate where 18 degrees TDC? Also what is the procedure ensure cyl. 1 is TDC? Anybody got a source of better info on the Net? Thanks for any help.
