diesel timing mark on clutch

[soniquethedog]

hello,i have just finished a 1.6d swap for a passat 1.6td ,i have changed all the ancilleries inc the fuel pump off a jx engine,i set the timing up (mark on the fuel pump and locked off the cam) via the peep hole in the box , i presume the timing mark is the v shaped groove inbetween two other type of tabs on the clutch,i bled the fuel thru and it fired up for a split second and then cut out , there is plenty of fuel coming thru but it wont tick over once it starts does anyone know what might be wrong thanks in advance

hello,ive swapped the jx pump for a newer one from nwvw (cheers) in preston,and it fired up 1st time ,it still sounds as tho the timing is out slightly and im not sure how to check it (with the injecter out with a piece of wire),i have tried this and cant seem to feel anything (am i doing it wrong )all i get is a jet of fuel coming out when i turn the engine over by hand,any tips would be helpfull

cheers
