Looking for help on a 1979 Case 580C, 207 engine ,posted last week,and did download manual that Tinkerer provided. Installed a rebuild injector pump-lined up marks in pump window with engine at TDC. Bled lines at injectors.New filters ,full of fuel-Will not start Any input on what to try next would be greatly appreciated
Did you check the #1 piston push rods for looseness when you had TDC ? It is very easy to mistakenly have #4 piston TDC when the timing marks are lined up. Fuel shut off cable adjusted properly to get full open position ? Any smoke while cranking the engine over ?
The drive shaft HAS TO BE inserted into the pump correctly.. on the right stroke.. Did u read the part about “dot to dot”.. dot INSIDEthe pump to the dot on the end of drive shaft..?? THAT insures your on the correct stroke..
Possibly wrong piston-pushrods on cylinder closest to radiator were loose.Very little white smoke.
I did - will probably remove pump and check again .Thank you
1 more thing while I'm thinkn about it.. The shut off arm/lever on the "back side' of the pump will get bent in transit.. MAKE SURE the shaft is hitting the stops when moving the cable from RUN to SH/OFF.. Just because the cable is moving doesnt mean the shaft/lever at the pump is..
Thanks again Pump Guy and Tinkerer-pump was 180 off.I lined up the dots and it started right up.A little more white smoke than before ,but not too bad
Glad you figured it out...... some days I feel 180 out !!
took a while ,but finally
