Judge,

Here's a simple test I just thought of: Take off the input line to the IP and put the end of it into your gator bottle. Then pump the primer pump. After air bubbles are purged, there should be a flow of fuel with out any air bubbles.

If U get the no bubbles fuel flow, wait hour or so and again pump primer pump and observe the fuel flow into the gator bottle. There should be no air bubbles visable. If bubbles are visable, U have a leak someplace in the fuel line from the tank or any of the other fuel lines between the fuel pump and the IP.

If nobody has monkeyed with the IP timing, it won't be off enough that the engine won't run. If the timing chain jumped a tooth, the valves would hit the pistons. If all the cylinders have reasonable compression, jumping a tooth has not occured.
