Got back home after work today, and went to work on the 5000D rebuild/starting problems. I had to make my own bleed screw for the fuel filter, but was a simple job. Then I opened up the side plate of the pump to check the square sliding-governor thingy. Bern, you were right, it was sticky. The first time i didn"t really know what to look for, but your last explanation about how far it should travel helped a bunch. It was actually only going back about half way. I then advanced the pump timing a tiny bit, and set about bleeding the system. Got it all bled and suddenly vroom, vrooom!! Chattered on like a champ with no smoke! Drove around just a little to check for leaks. Had good throttle control, although I think I need to adjust the max throttle up a bit. Shut her down, and she started right back up. Thanks again for the great help!!
Now, about that noise in my SOS tranny...maybe later.
