[Vwdiesel] Pump timing/Reading a dial indicator

[Tim Hicks]

    Thanks for the reply,
  
  The pump sprocket mark is aligned with the mark in the injection pump, just  like it shows in the manual.
  
  I have not had the injector lines off. I guess that is my next step, to see if  it is getting fuel.
  
  I thought that maybe the transmission was changed at some time and the fly  wheel was placed in the wrong position, as this can happen very easily. I took  out the No.1 injector and glow plug, placed a wire through the swirl chamber to  the top of the piston to find TDC. When I  found TDC it lined up with the fly wheel mark, so the mark is correct.
  
  Does it smoke? No, it just turns over like a car with no spark. It doesn’t even  try to start.
      Thanks,

      Sounds all good.
  The pump can be 180 degrees off. There is a timing mark on the pump
  sprocket that need to be lined up with the top of the pump- the  "line" left
  by the two mold halves when the pump was cast. Clean the pump side of the
  pump sprocket well to find that (brake cleaner on a rag). If the marks all
  line up, and your timing procedure is good, you're good to go.
  You had the injector lines off?
  Does it make smoke?
  You have the correct flywheel timing mark?
