Hey y'all my friend whom is a great AC and jet mech came over and we fiddled with getting the XT started. I had rebuilt the fuel fittings from the tank outlets on into the pump. He determined the pump is faulty for some unknown reason at this time. I removed the valve cover and got the #1 piston on TDC, then we looked into the timing window on pump and got the lines perfectly matched. I reinstalled valve cover and tomorrow morning will pull the pump. We checked the air intake side of the turbine. It spun quietly by hand with no apparent slop. So Chris will check out the pump this week and if need be we shall get it rebuilt. More to follow...
