Before I pull the IP, I would like to disconnect fuel lines to the injector from the IP and spin the engine with the starter to insure there is or is not fuel flow. Is it possible for the IP to pump fuel to the injectors but not under enough pressure to make them open?

I pulled the valve cover off to insure all valves were closed. When I saw no fuel coming out of the IP I continued to rotate the crank 360 degrees...twice to insure there was no fuel flow. Nothing came out at all. I also made sure the fuel pumps remained on the entire time. Now, as the TM...

Yes Sir Ray, if you will guide me through the removal I will absolutely send it to you. Thank you so much.

Yes Sir, that's kinda what I thought. Know a good rebuilder out there somewhere? I really appreciate EVERYONE'S help and input on the issue. I really enjoy working on diesel generators of 20KW or less and small 4 cylinder aircraft engines. This is my enjoyment in my retirement years. Nothing...

Got plenty of fuel coming out before nd after the check valve. No signs of air in the lines. I actually forgot about the return line going back to the tank. Had I remembered that I would not have asked the question about pumps running all the time...certainly they do. My bad!

Perchance, should the fuel pumps cut off once pressure is built up or do they run all th time?

Well Sirs, followed the TM procedures to the T. No fuel came out of port 1 on the IP. None, not even a spurt of air and I had the fuel pumps on the entire time. Quess I have a bad IP.

Can you tell me where to find the static timing test procedures in the TM please. I may not have the right version of the TM.

Here's a pic of how the TM says to reassemble everything in order

Are you suggesting I pull the plunger out? Here is a pic looking into the pump.

Ray th plunger is moving in and out and rotating as I crank the engine over by hand.

Hopefully I dodged a bullet. Mine does not have the screw. Does anyone know of a good MEP-003A mechanic in the San Antonio, Texas area.

The black tag does say Model 50 with a bunch on alpha/numeric numbers after that and shows a button size as well.

I just noticed, it looks like the engine has been sprayed with black paint. I've never seen one that was black so perhaps the tag was pained over as well. Won't know until I can inspect closed.

Looks like it is a Bosch...black tag

Thanks for your input. I'll pull the cap and valve out of the IP again and check for correct installation. Even though there is fuel getting to all injector when I pull the lines off, there seems to be no fuel actually getting to cylinders 1 & 2. Absolutely noting coming out of the stack when...

With the injector fuel supply line off, when you turn the engine over should you just see a small spurt coming out of the lines or should it be a significant spurt of 6 or 8 inches? Wondering about pressure.

No Sir I did not.

Well Sir, got everything back together but no go. Took all injector line off to make certain fuel was getting there and afirm. getting no smoke from exhaust on cylinders 1 & 2 but getting dark smoke out of 3 & 4 stack. All gov and solenoid linkage working fine along with heaters and glow plugs...

There is no spacer Sir.
