To me it's absolutely out of all reason why you took the pump off the engine without beeing sure to align the timing marks. But things happens and I try to help you as good as I can and please excuse my non-perfect english. First lesson is, to turn the engine always clockwise. Clockwise means clockwise when you stand in front of the radiator face toward the radiator. Step 1: Turn the engine until the exhaust valve on cylinder 1 is fully open. Step 2: Put a feeler gauge into the gap between rocker and inlet valve. The feeler gauge should fit semi-tight, means it should fill the gap as good as possible without falling out and without clamping to much. Step 3: Now turn the engine a full turn of 360 degrees. Step 4: Now you have to pull gently on the feeler gauge while slowly turning the engine. STOP turning the engine when you can pull the feeler gauge out of it's place. That's exactly the position when the inlet valve has closed. And this crank position is 137 degrees before Top Dead Center (TDC). Step 5: The Minimec pump should inject at 20 degrees before TDC. And we know that the crank shaft is now located at 137 degrees before TDC. You have to turn the engine another 117 degrees. Here's the way to do it: Mark the teeth on the flywheel which is in-line with the nose in the service hole on the clutch housing (use paint or so). Now turn the engine and count the teeth. The marked teeth is theeth # 0. The 39th teeth is your mark. Stop here and turn another halve teeth. That's the position 20 degrees before TDC and this position is the mark "Spill" to use to set the injection pump. Step 6: Load the shop manual from my website. Go to www.fordson-dexta.de, then "downloads", then "section 4". Use the manual to see how the marks on the pump should be adjusted. NOTE, the gear flange on the pump has 2 marks. Be sure to take the right on. The manual will tell you ... I wish you all the best for the job and please keep us posted. Best regards
Stefan
