    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    Well, that doesn’t actually answer the question, was the timing set scribe to scribe as the factory does? And how much is the pump,advanced now? I don’t time my pumps, i set them dead center via the scribes and go from there…a scribe width or 3 to the drivers side advances the pump.

    the timing scribe on the pump should be set to the timing scribe on the timing gear housing…that’s the starting point and 99% of the time that’s it…if it needs to be advanced and as I’ve seen on rebuilt pump “extensively” advanced? The pump was calibrated incorrectly…

    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    There should be no water in the fuel or old fuel…you should have drained the fuel tank and added fresh fuel. The rough idle can be easily be air still in the system, the white smoke can be a bad injector, a bad pump, low compression etc… this is why I don’t “shot gun“ a host of new parts when...

    using rebuilt pumps literally leaves open the higher possibility the issue is the rebuilt pump, unless it was doing same with old pump.
