You may also have another problem as well but unless you are absolutely certain you installed the injection pump properly you have to verify it

I went this afternoon to start the engine - with the 'throttle' held open she started right away. No sign of air in the lines. I stopped it after say 15sec, tried again - no start. Pumped the hand pump, still no air, started right away again. I checked and there is plenty of flow returning to tank. The initial 'firing' is a strong nailing noise.

Unless any other ideas present themselves I am going to remove the IP again, see if the timing has gotten bad, and repair the loose inlet fitting.

Thanks.
