Default damage that can happen from sitting/runaway

Before you start the engine I would check out the injection pump, I can almost guarantee it will malfunction. You might be okay if the fuel lines where never removed (high pressure delivery, fuel supply and return) But if those have been removed and the injection pump has been sitting moisture finds it's way in and will rust the flyweight/ governor. I would pull the top cover off the IP and check it out.
Here are some pictures of the kibble and bits engine.

Thanks for the IP advice, Anders. Wow, those pieces/parts look like they experienced a high order detonation. I'm looking on eBay for timing tools but can't determine what if any can be used on my IP. can you recommend a specific model and site for these tools? I really just need the dial indicator and holder but some mention 5mm or 3/8 shank size. The one I have in mind is on eBay item #111153009562 (can't post link from phone) by el Paso Tool but just now noticed it's with 8mm shank. They all mention which engines they're for but never D24.

Also, is it possible that the timing is already set from the last time it was in service since it hasn't been touched? Would it be risky to try starting the engine before I can set with the tools so long as everything is aligned?

Than you
