anyone work on perkins engines

need some help gettin a bobcat runnin  when i got it has a new injection pump and injectors installed  from what i can tell the pump is timed properly ive bleed the air from the pump and all the way up to the injectors has fuel in the lines  fuel filters have been changed  and it has lots of fuel in the tank   any tricks or tips  little things i might have missed   this is a paying job too fix it and  if someone is familiar with these engines there time and knowledge will be compensated for $$$

Is it actually getting the fuel, as in can you smell the raw fuel in the exhaust.  just a start    hard to tell without actually looking at it....  I do know even if the pump is timed correctly some of them have an adjustment to adjust the pressure, you might have to fiddle with that.    Also have you checked compression yet?

dont have compression testor that will hook to it seems to have some tho??  ive bleed the system up too the injectors several times  it will smoke fuel out the exhaust sometimes but then it will quit smokin  put it in time by having the #1 cylinder on top dead center and lined the cam  idler  gear and pump marks all in order  the lines on the flange for pump are on   the pressure screw is where im gunna go check next

yea Check the pressure screw, and if its smoking then its getting fuel, Idk if its enough, IE: the pressure screw.  but is it trying to fire at all? shoot a little wd 40 in the intake and try to fire it up,  don't use ether as it will dry the cylinder and could cause the piston to score the wall. Also you should have more than a little compression, I'm not sure on the exact compression numbers but depending on what model your working on compression ratio is between a 15.5:1 to 22:1 ratio.   

If you think compression might be low, put a little 40 weight oil in the cylinders through the injector ports and crank it over some, this should re lubricate the cylinder and also reseat the rings.  Don't put to much oil in there as liquids don't compress so to much will blow the rings.

Also there might be a problem or a short in the shutdown switch that is preventing it to fire up.  Lots of possibilities ,  but I'll help ya the best I can, to bad your so far away or I would give ya a hand
