756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Got a reman case ih dt 436 I stuck in a 1086. I have verified timing several times on it. I did put the old inj pump back on it. When I crank it over to try to start it, it smokes like a freight train but won't fire and run. I know I'm in time or at least dangerously close don't know.what else to check before I condemn the inj pump???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike56073 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The only thing I can think of is to make sure the pump isn’t half a turn off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 First thing I think is pull the three bolts. Turn the pump one turn and put the bolts back. If that don't work I would take a close look at delivery valve. Even if you can't see any thing wrong it may work when you put it back.

snoshoe Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Mike and I are thinking alike but it's one turn on an ambac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 You can pull the one little cover off right below the rotary head and check for a notch where the rotar spins around in there, If you can see that mark your on #1 TDC when the notch on the gear is lined up and I have that. Have valve cover lifted and #1 pushrods are loose and #6 are tight so I should be on TDC one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Second idea was delivery valve. Had it do all kinds of things. 50 percent of the time can't see anything wrong but it works when I put it back. Beyond that I'm done from here.

snoshoe Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Middle of the night idea. More of a remembrance really. Is the engine pumping air? Should be pulling freely at intake and exhausting with volume. Had a fellow with fair amount of experience coming in with questions on his 4020. He had been working on it and now he could hardly get it to run. Smoked terribly and could hardly move itself. I don't remember the original work but after a couple of days he had brought me nozzles and pump. Nothing I could find. We discussed everything I could think of as possible. Didn't see him again for several weeks. When I did I had to ask. It seems his brother had hung his tee shirt over the intake manifold. When they tried to crank it up. It disappeared inside. Seems it had completely closed off 4 holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Did hit it with a bit of either Hoping it was just a hard start, fired and tried to run but it just wouldn't take off running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd4440 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I would do a compression test, a friend of mine got one that had 466 pistons with a 436 crank, not enough squeeze to make it light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 I might go ahead and do that, I'm still leaning towards inj pump, tach shows 6200 hrs and looks original and doesn't help there's probably a few hundred hours with coolant in the engine oil.

pirlbeck Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If ALL you are doing to time it is to get the engine on TDC of compression stroke and then line the pump drive marks up, you NEED to listen to Mike and snoshoe and first get the pump marks lined up, remove the gear and rotate the injection pump drive shaft one turn and retry it. Disregard this if you have already tried this, but your symptoms sure sound like this is the problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 I have tried this afew times, I set the front dampner at the TDC mark make sure the timing mark in the inj pump drive is right on and tighten it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Was taught a long time ago by the service manager at the sister store to the one I work at is if you can see the mark on the head thru this plate your almost on top dead center #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Maybe I’m not reading rite but shouldn’t the engine on a 1086 be set at 18 degrees and then tighten down the gear. John 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 You might be right I just searched and had a post pop up by Injpump that said 18 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Yes, initial timing is 18*. Intravance is another 12* if I remember that part correctly. You need to set dampener to 18* advance, line up timing marks on pump drive gear. If still no start, verify that you are not 360* off, spin injection pump over one full revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is NOT correct!!! Engine should be at 18 degrees before TDC. Then tighten gear to pump drive with marks lined up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Yes I'm thinking I'm clearly wrong, I'll set it to 18 next weekend and it will probably take right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

756puller Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 It was off the 18 degrees, I was thinking of rosamaster timing when I stuck the pump on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Glad You got it figured out . Question , to my thinking about everyone saying that the pump needs to be turned one turn that doesn't make sense to me. Anytime I have seen the pump off the engine needs one revolution and then reinstall the pump and it usually starts in our experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
756puller Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Crank shaft goes around twice for every turn of the camshaft, want to say crank and inj pump gear are same size but I'm not 100 percent. But if they would be it'd make sense to have to turn pump one revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should add you're both right. It works either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman13 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 if you are putting a new motor in it why not have the pump and injectors gone thru also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
