Question, when you do the spill timing. Do you put the fuel rack in max fuel position with the overload stop?
Or do you put the fuel rack in normal running mode?

The mark on the fuel rack spindle has to be a certain distance from the side of the pump (I think it's 13/16") not sure now. There are two measurements
given.

I finally got it running after fiddling and thinking a pump was bad but it turned out a injector that i set up went bad again?? So i cleaned it out and reset pressure and now it runs on both cylinders. The only thing that worries me it doesnt make that creak sound when it opens up?

I think i got the spilltiming and measurements right, i only had a short drive cause the flexible brake pipe hose started leaking

I will post some pictures soon!

Not all injectors make the creak sound, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I refitted everything because it was running fine and then i start it again and it seems that one injector is faulty again, it is like it wont hold the opening pressure is set it at?

I ordered a "new" one and hopefully this sorts it out else i am at a loss since i did the spilltiming and setting the fuel rack to the book i think.

Will keep you guys updated!

For anyone interested we posted another video of the dumper.
