So in one last try at everything, after setting the timing with the drip method, I rechecked it by slowly coming up to the start of injection. I started at 40 BTDC, and went degree by degree to see where the flow of fluid would start. At 26 BTDC I got nothing, but at 25 BTDC I got a thin stream of fuel. This tells us my timing must be between 25 and 26 degrees.
I still have no luck with it running. As I mentioned in my last post, I removed the old fuel and fuel tank from the equation by trying to run off a small fuel container. I normally use it when running diesel purge through the injection system. I also replaced the in line and spin on fuel filters.
I have some pictures I'll post for an idiot check. There is a picture of the crank indicator, the cam lobes, the stream of fuel, the throttle tied wide open, and the markings on the injection pump and the front of the engine compartment.
My only other thought is could there possibly be an issue with the timing chain between the timing device and the sprocket above it? I know that my crank and cam pulleys are in the right location on the timing chain, but is it possible to get the timing device back in off a tooth in relation to them? I don't really see how it would all go back together if the chain slack was in the wrong place, but I suppose it could be possible.
