I have a jd 4045t. I bought the engine out of a sweeper truck that had been sitting for a while. The engine would not start. I determined it was not getting fuel. It has a stanydyne pump. I took it to our local diesel shop and the pump had a lot of rust and crud in it. We installed a new pump and injectors. Flushed the lines and hooked it to a new fuel tank. The engine won’t start without a shot of ether and develops a miss at 2/3 throttle. Plenty of fuel and pressure to the pump. The keyway is good and tight in the pump gear. Have rotated the pump away from the engine. Still takes ether to start and the miss comes in sooner. With the pump rotated towards the engine it still takes ether to start but the miss comes in later. I have pulled the timing cover and verified gear train timing. It is spot on where it should be. I have taken the pump back to the shop to be checked out just in case something was built wrong with it. If the pump checks out I am at a loss where to go from here. Any input would be appreciated
