Not too familiar with the Universal 14 hp but I''d be willing to bet that the injector pump is driven off of the raw water pump shaft. God only knows why they do it that way instead of the other way round. The raw water pump gets serviced more then the injector pump!

Anyway, they put the pump on this shaft because it spins at half the RPM of the crankshaft, which is closer to the optimum RPM for this type of pump. This shaft is timed with the engine so the injectors will open at the correct time.

That it went right back in with a click and nothing had moved, I''d say that all is well. Some mesh with the injector pump with like 8 splines on the shaft so you’d have to turn the thing pretty far to throw it out of timing.
