Once installed, leave injector lines loose and bleed them out a bit. Once you get fuel up at the injectors tighten the lines and fire it up.

Yeah I didn't set the #1 PC before I took the pump off. Where is the hole in the pump in reference to looking at the pump in the installed position?Assuming this is the original pump for this machine and it sounds like you took it out without setting at #1 PC first?
If so, yes get the motor to PC on #1 compression stroke and put the 1/8" drill bit onto the hole in the pump to align the gear and slap it back in.
Remember the o-ring around the body that seals to the block and make sure the original shims are reused.
That should get it done. If in doubt you can perform the static timing test, but generally not needed if it's the original pump going back in.
Thanks Ray! I will report when it's running.Looking at the pump from installed perspective on the left side there is a flat head screw with a copper washer, directly opposite the throttle lever, threaded into the base flange.
Take out the screw and install a 1/8" drill bit, butt end first and turn the drive gear until the drill fits into the slot cut in the gear.
Then put the pump in with motor on PC mark.
Don't forget to reinstall the screw and washer, or you will soon have a wet mess!
I believe you are correct on the longer rocker being intake, but verify by seeing which aligns with the intake runner.

Thanks Guyfang, I will give that a shot tomorrow morning.The TM tells you that if it will not start, after reinstalling, that the pump might be 180 degrees out of time. Then you should time the set again, pull the IP out and rotate it 180 degrees, until the the IP lines back up, and reinstall. Something to consider. This has happened to me several times. And that is how I fixed it.
