I am working on a 1085 with a Perkins 4.318 diesel engine. I am not happy with the way it starts. The injection pump and injectors have been rebuilt by a reputable shop. I have double checked injection timing and it is set per the MF service manual. I have set the valves. Checked head stud torque. It has two new batteries and good cables. I installed a new gear reduction starter. It seems to spin fast enough to start.
I checked compression on the cylinders, and they are all 350 psi, plus or minus a couple of psi. My manual does not list limits for compression pressure. Does anyone know what it should be?
Thanks
