Have a look at the keyway on the pump gear. Starting to sound like maybe it did not get re-installed correctly - maybe the woodruf key is dislodged or sheared. There should be nothing fundamentally wrong with the timing. It can't change outside the realm of the adjustment by just R&R'ing the pump if done correctly. Basically it only comes apart and goes back together one way. Ask the person who did the pump work if he had the timing cover off trying to get creative, just in case. Maybe skipped a tooth the wrong way or something like that. Unlikely, but not outside the realm of possibility. It's a good idea to give the pump gear a smack with a BFH to seat it on the pump shaft when reinstalling - avoids this type thing happening.

Nadir i took the pump out woodruf key is fine. Can u tell me How to check and reset the timing gear or do u have a pic of timing gear so i can take the timing cover off tomorow and make sure they r in place. I think that is the problem. The person who i got the truck from said they took the timing cover apart and took the pump timing gear out and dont know if put back in the right position Thanks in advance. Hey i drove it in the parking lot today no power and some white smoke and it skips.

It really and I hope for your sake sounds like a stopped up fuel filter. I've had them cause all the same problems, rough running, white smoke and poor power. I always like to start with the simple stuff. Fuel that has been sitting for 2 years will most definitely have some water in it from condensation because of heating and cooling over and over. And the plunger being stuck in that fuel shutoff solenoid from sitting all that time is a good indicator of that. That seafoam is good stuff hopefully will clean the internals right up and good fuel flowin hopefully it will run like a clock
