Thanks Manfred,
He used an engine starter button to turn the
engine over and we did not see the welling up,
only spurting. I will pass along this
information to him and we sill start again on
Monday. My lack of knowledge as well as his is
become glaringly apparent. I will be talking to
the owner on Monday about this. Is there a
manual or specific instructions about how to
time the pump that I need to purchase and or
read and take to the mechanic.
Thanks for everyone's patience in helping me with this.
Mike
NO! NO! NO! You can't turn the engine over with the starter when timing!!!
As Manfred said, once you find the approximate
location of the START of injection (that needs to
line up with the correct degrees BTDC, then you
turn the engine over by hand with a socket on the
crankshaftt big bolt about 700ยบ (just under two
full revolutions) then very, very sloooowly until
the drip tube stops running and just starts to
drip (With the DV pin out) or, using my Q&D
method, until the fuel in the 2mm dia part of the
bore in the #1 DV union just barely starts to
move (like .005")
RTFB OM616/617 engine book. (paper)
Timing a diesel is NOTHING like timing a gasser.
Static timing a gassser is similar to timing a
Diesel, but not nearly as much precision is
required.
