Timberwolf 190 dont start

[Roland Kontkar]

Solenoid is new, temperature sensor is new. Everything seems ok but it does not start.

Is diesel getting to the injectors? Worth cracking the fuel lines at the injector and checking, could be a blockage in the tank, lines or fuel filter.

I’d try fuel pump

Hot wire solenoid. To rule out ignition switch.

Sounds like it's getting fuel, maybe not enough but I'd also ask if your letting the glow plugs heat up and turn off first.

 

Even on the 3 pot Kubota they like a little heat to help them start especially when cold.

I would try taking the key switched wire off the starter motor (small wire with a spade connector) and go through the start procedure and when you turn the key to the crank position there should be a single click when the fuel solenoid pulls in ?

It won't crank with the wire disconnected so you can hear what's happening with the solenoid. 

If you hear a 'fluttering' noise then the hold circuit is at fault  , either the feed to the solenoid or the solenoid itself.

Have you tried pushing it down a hill then dropping the clutch in second gear?

Noo, it's down and hill over a cliff whilst burning.

 

But it has to to done on video whilst extolling the virtues of Greenmech and Jase might give you a discount!.

Just wondering if there's an update on this ?
