Default yanmar -ysb 1974 engine- poor starting

what is the compression?

when the high pressure pump was replaced it may have changed the fuel
timing. This timing is critical.

did the rack get hooked up correctly to the pump?

If I were to guess I would say fuel timing...

the above is an old lady and very difficult to start. compression ok,
new injector and injector pump, replaced diesal fuel. will start by
use of easy start and there after tick over ok. lots of smoke and
carbon or oily discharge when run at full revs.

any ideas.

have already had the suggestion of the exhaust being partially blocked
but have not taken this futher.


Had a similar problem some years ago on a similar engine. An old diesel
engine mechanic found that the engine had been re-built and the valve
timing
gear was one tooth out. Made a huge difference to the power once it was
re-assembled.
