Diesel leaking in to Oil on Kubota V1505 TE

[Danson Sports]

We have a problem on our Kubota V1505 TE engine on our Jacobsen LF4677 Mower

The mower would not start, we found what we thought was water in the oil so had the head skimmed and the gasket replaced, put it back together still wont start changed all filters, lift pump solenoid etc bleed the diesel still wont start!! checked the oil and it seems to have a lot of diesel mixed in with it, this is driving me mad!!

 

Question 1: what would stop the engine from starting?? it turns over and wants to fire up but just wont run!!

 

Question 2: What could be causing the diesel to leak in to the oil ??

Hi

 

A non starting engine!

 

First thing to do is go back to the basic things!

 

Suck Squeeze Bang

Fuel/Air - Compression - Bang

 

1st. Have you got enough compression ?

 

2nd. Have you got fuel being injected into the cylinders ?

 

3rd. What colour smoke have you got coming out the exhaust. ?

 

Diesel can only reach the oil via 4 places

1. Mechanical fuel lift pump

2. The inline fuel injection pump

3. Past the piston rings

4. Past the head gasket

 

How much diesel is reaching the oil ( how much has the dipstick level gone up?)

 

Have you done a compression test?

 

Is the engine turning over fast enough?

 

Have you tried starting it with the fuel stop solenoid removed (does it have 2 wires or 3?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it a chipper, is it a mower or another broken stump grinder who cares we'll fix it!
