Thanks so much for taking the time and such a comprehensive reply.
I didn't move anything when taking the IP pulley off, so am pretty confident that it's TDC on No1, as this is where it all was when running OK, with the air leaks
Sorry, I typed in haste originally. I did check for fuel at the injectors after I had done this. I also primed to low pressure side of the pump too.
Based on what you say, I'm inclined to think the IP timing is the issue. I assumed lining the marks up was adequate to get it running but it seems it's a much, much smaller margin that this.
This makes sense when I think about it since the flywheel is maybe 400mm + across (at a guess) whereas the IP pulley is maybe 90mm. The degs and mins of these circumferences, in mm or fractions of, is massively different.
Anyway, I couldn't find anyone I knew who had a timing gauge, so I've ordered one. Should be here in the next couple of days.
I'll let you know how i get on but hopefully (hopefully : ) this sorts it.
Thanks again very much. I appreciate your time
