ive posted a few pics of the governor, any thoughts?
also any good place i could get a new one cheap... like really cheap  |
A torn membrane doesn't prevent starting. The governor spring and/or the lever on the pump if it is in the starting position will put the control rod in the full-load position.
You need a micrometer to replace the membrane (to measure the compensation path) and it is a bit fiddly to connect it to the control rod. It is easier in your case because the engine is not in the car.
It still is a bit strange that the engine will not start. Are you sure the engine wasn't damaged insofar that there is no compression, because of damaged valves for instance? Did you check the timing (put the camshaft on its mark, the crankshaft should be at TDC (mark TD on the crankshaft). A couple of degrees off is not so bad, but not more than 5º.
There are two bleed screws on this engine: one at the top of the fuel filter, one at the pump itself. After bleeding, you should hear a sizzling noise when you operate the hand pump (that is the fuel return line valve at the back of the pump opening).
It could also be that the injectors are stuck or rusted. That way no fuel will be injected.
