You never told us what your problem IS.. only asked about the spring code setting..
Is your pump pumping fuel UP TO the injectors??

Case 380CK Injection Pump Settings

The tractor stopped running while brush hogging and has not been able to start since. I replaced the pump cover gasket because it was leaking and just wanted to double check the spring setting. I've taken the valve cover off and watched the rockers, everything seems to be OK. Wondering if it's possible to have jumped timing?
I am getting fuel to the injectors. Thank you for the replies!

Hmm.. They can be a real sob to bleed.. have you loosened the bleed screw by the name plate,double screw.5/16??
It has an electric solenoid on it yes?? jump it straight off the battery w/ a wire..
Leave ALL THE LINES LOOSE AT the injectors & spin the engine until you get fuel & NO AIR & THEN tighten the lines..
I've never seen 1 jump time.. & if it did.. real loud, bad things would happen..
If your gonna pull the pump & injectors, I'd be happy to take a look at them for you..

I wonder if it's possible that air got into the system with the leaking pump cover and that's what made it stop running?
No solenoid. Has the rotary CAV pump with manual shut off. I primed the pump at that bleeder screw and the one on the cover with the hand pump. Fuel came out with no air after just a few pumps then moved on to the lines. Seemed like it was going to run after a few of the attempts but always sputters out.
Shows only 910 hours so I guess I'll empty the tank and fill it with new diesel and try bleeding again. I'll update again soon.

When you loosened the lines at the injectors, did you loosen them all at the same time.. spin the engine until fuel squirted out??
I've been getting quite a few pumps in w/ the same symptom.. running/working it & then it shut off..
They end up being Bio-fuel babies{gummed-up} & some are seized up..
A leaking top cover wont shut one down.

Just make sure they're not leaking..
if you follow the line down from the injector rail, it goes back into the filter head..{most do}
any "leaks" will produce air, which gets into the filter, which inturn gets put into the pump inlet.. not good.
No luck getting it started huh..??
If you need someone to take a look at the pump & injectors, give me a shout..

Welp, haven't been able try again. I did find time to remove and drain the tank so that I'll be bleeding with a full tank of fresh fuel.
I'll definitely get in touch with you to have the pump and injectors gone through if it still refuses to start this next try. Wouldn't be surprised if everything is gummed up from sitting so long.
I should have time to get to it this next week. I have too many projects!
