Today I made a timing tool to fit the Bosch VE pump on my 853 Bobcat. It was made from some scrap aluminum, a one
inch dial indicator and a few other bits and pieces. I need to determine the length needed for the driven pin and shorten
it accordingly. The timing tool fits on the end of the rotary distributor and will mount without removing any of the lines.
The Bobcat has not been starting easily lately and I'm thinking that the timing may be off.
The walking beam is responsible for reversing the direction of the driven pin 180 degrees. That way there is room
to mount the indicator out of the way of the injector lines. When I inspected the pump, it looked like there is about
and inch of room for the tool so I made this one about 3/4 inch wide. Tomorrow I will give it a go and see what I can
determine. It was a fun project taking about three hours to complete.
