[Vwdiesel] IP rebuild woes

[Bud S]

Resealed my IP.  Thought I marked everything correctly.  Installed it 
back on the engine.

Timed it per the Bentley (high end 1.05mm).  Could get it to run for 
about 10-20 seconds, no throttle response.

Someone suggested on the vw diesel parts board to run the fuel line to a 
jar above the IP.

Well that made a huge difference.  Ran it for quite a while at a very 
low idle.  Lot's of white smoke and no throttle response.  Then shut her 
down.

Re-hooked the fuel line to the on board fuel filter and it sucked the IP 
dry without sucking from the tank.  The line is unobstructed, was the 
first thing I did before I even thought of removing the IP.

Maybe it's not spinning fast enough for the vanes to work on the suction 
side.  I used Vaseline on the internals during the reseal to hold parts 
together.

Sound like I installed the internal cam plate 180 out?

Would adding an electric fuel pump before the filter help the IP?

Thanks,
Bud
