Ford 4500
I rebuilt my CAV for my Ford 4500 with a kit and followed some pretty good YouTube videos for instructions. I have cranked the engine and bled lines for what seems like hours and all I can finally get is a dismal fuel squirt at injector lines and a small return flow into tank. There does not seem to be enough pressure to make it through the injectors as the engine doesn't even smoke or fire. I have a good starter and battery and the engine turns over well. I am a bit surprised my starter hasn't given up the ghost yet as I have cranked it over so much thinking I still had an air lock somewhere. I am now thinking air is NOT my problem but that I MUST have done something wrong in the rebuild of the pump. The only thing I remember being "uncomfortable" about is not quite understanding the 2 stage auto advance device that is on the bottom of the pump. I had disassembled the device for inspection and reassembled after thinking it appeared fine.
I am hoping someone with specific knowledge and experience might be able to suggest something. I am at a loss but think I have to go to the the trouble of taking the pump off again and go through from the top again.

Thanks

Hopefully thepumpguysc can chime in, he knows his way around those injection pumps blindfolded.

Yes that is the exact video I watched (there were others but that was the main guiding one). I will try to contact you as you suggest. I can't seem to find your contact info here but I think it must be because I'm using my phone. I will get to a computer later this morning and try there.
