Bought a Ford 3000 that seemed to have a bad Simms injection pump.
Pump runs tractor but hard to start, governor slow to respond, oil reservoir filling with
diesel, low power under load.


I pulled the pump, and removed the timing cover because the marks through the IP gear cover were not lined up. All the gear reference dots were one gear tooth off all the way over to the cam gear.

Buddy said to swap over to a cav setup while I had it down that far, which is what we did.

Not sure the cav is good although it squirted fuel out each injector with each revolution.

Question is; would running the tractor one tooth off explain those symptoms? Kinda dumb question, as obviously it would be out of time, even the valves. Anyone run into this before? Is there any reason (advancing timing) that it would be this way on purpose.

Thanks
