Hey Everyone,
I have an early 80's Champion road grader with an Allis 670T motor that I had purchased with known issues. The original theory was that the motor was a repower that had roughly 3500 hours on it, after some brief online research it seemed like it was probably due for Injectors or a pump. The symptoms were lack of power, excessive smoke, and hard starting. Another thing that was suspect was the timing. I previously replaced the injectors and while they were in need of service that didn't correct the problem. Now I've replaced the pump, but am having problems determining correct timing. The Fiat Allis book I have actually has about 4 different timing options depending on the motor and pump. The pump is a roosa master, DM4629JF3865 and my book says to set it at 18 degrees btdc. I tried that and the motor smoked worse than ever. Next I tried 24 degrees and that didn't do anything. After some reading I came across some info about the damper pulley slipping so I'm heading out to pull the #1 injector and compare the marks to TDC. Aside from than........ Can anyone provide me with a solid # for timing on this pump? Its really leaving me scratching my head on this one. Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks! j |

16 to 18 degrees BTDC would be correct for a DM-4 pump. 24 degrees will make it hammer and start even harder and burn a piston/blow a head gasket.

You can take the valve cover off to confirm the marks on the pulley, that way you know that you are at the top of correct stroke instead of being half way off.

Thanks for the quick responses, I've got the valve cover off and pulled #1 Injector to verify TDC, seems to be correct. I will have to set it back to 16-18 and see what it does.

These engines don't burn clean as a rule.There is usually a haze which increases under load.

I've got the machine set at 18 degrees, smokes pretty good as its warming up but does seem to run better. Kind of disappointed in how hard starting it is cold though. Would running it around 16 degrees help this? seems like it has to crank for about 30 seconds to get it to pop off at the moment

16 degrees will help some with cold starts, YES.

If they're a little tired and it's below 40deg you'll need a heater or ether or extra cranking time.
