Hey guys I’m in need of some help from the crew of the sb community. I have just finished a repower of my 1981 topaz 28 with a pair of 2005 Cummins 6BT 5.9m motors, CPL 8206, Delphi Cav injection pumps, these are government reman engines so not Brand new. The issue I’m having with one of the motors is that she’s not firing unless with a gas soaked rag over the turbo. Here are the steps I’ve taken to make sure all routes were covered: -injectors cleaned and rebuilt -fuel shutoff solenoid spring and plunger removed -plenty of air flow -Plenty of good fuel to system -ive cleaned the top end of my injection pump to make sure mechanical shutoff wasn’t sticking -hooked up a fuel bulb and primed system while cranking to make sure fuel is getting to injectors. -good got batteries so plenty of cranking power …I’ll update if I can think of anything else. So here’s my latest issue I’ve found, motor is at TDC, and markings on inspection plate read setting should be at letter D, but when I look at the injection pump it’s set at C. Could the timing be my issue? If so is there a way of me being able to adjust it myself or is a Cummins technician required? I am at my witts end with this motor that is holding up a boat I need for commercial use. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Boat is located in SE Florida. thanks fellas.
