I wish there was a class i could take on JUST this engine...theres no shop in town i'd trust with this, except the dealership and thats 120 bucks an hour.
I've never heard of re-indexing the pump, is there a thread on this website?

What would cause it to be that far off? I'm confident i followed the procedure in the manual. Is there a thread with pictures on this website for checking the IP timing? If not we need to make one, after i figure out how to do it, ha ha. I guess i need to talk with someone whos done this procedure before.. theres no one in town that i know. Any tucsonans out there? If something caused the pump to need to be re-indexed, would i be looking for mechanical failure in the pump? is it possible it slipped on the timing chain, from being started after sitting a long time and being cranked for a little while with probably little oil in the pump? Wouldnt it run alot worse if it where really this far out of time? Could a bad hand pump not be pushing enough pressure through the ip during the procedure?

Thanks again!
