International B250 Diesel Injector Pump Timing

[ErnieB]

Does anyone know where I can find the correct timing and instructions for setting it on a 56 Int'l tractor. The tractor had a new Injector pump installed, the system seems to be free of air and can be started with ether but then stalls out. I am thinking that the timing may be off on the injector pump as fuel is coming our of each injector - the system was bled. If it doesn't stay running I am thinking the timing may be off - do you think this is the problem? Or could it be another problem with the compression of the tractor? I was not the one who replaced the injector pump so I have never seen it running? Thank you.

Does the engine seem to "speed up" a tad just before it dies indicating fuel starvation?

Check that screen in the sediment bowl.

Thanks Alan. No it doesn't speed up but just dies out.

Might try your question here since it's a British made model. I've got a book on German made 4 cylinders but not the BD144 motor.

Good Luck,

Dave

Timing isn't your problem. The B250 has a pretty weird throttle and governor setup and I suggest you get your hands on the proper repair info for the B-250 version only. B-250 has a CAV injection pump that works quite different from the later early B-275 also with the CAV in-line and air-governor, or later B-275 with the CAV rotary and centrifugal governor. Even though they all have BD-144 engines, the pumps are quite different on all three.

Thanks for the information!
