If the injection pump drive gear was broke loose to re-adjust the timing, after running the gear may have slipped on the pump shaft causing it to go so far out that the engine will not run. Before the gear is torqued and seated, the pump shaft and drive gear bore have to be clean. Contact cleaner works the best.
