Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be difficult. The Troubleshooting Index gives a list of possible problems. To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction on the pages that follow.This list of problems, causes and corrections will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be, and what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendation in the list.Remember that a problem is not normally caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This list is only a guide and cannot give all possible problems and corrections. The serviceman must find the problem and it source, then make the necessary repairs.Troubleshooting Index
1. Engine Will Not Turn When Start Switch Is On.2. Engine Will Not Start.3. Misfiring Or Running Rough.4. Stall At Low rpm.5. Sudden Changes In Engine rpm.6. Not Enough Power.7. Too Much Vibration.8.

Alternator Charge Rate Is Low Or Not Regular.29. Alternator Charge Is Too High.30. Alternator Has Noise.31. Shutoff Solenoid Does Not Stop Engine. Problem 1: Engine Crankshaft Will Not Turn When Start Switch Is On Probable Cause:1. Battery Has Low Output: Make Reference to Problem 27.2. Wires Or Switches Have Defect: Make Reference to Problem 27.3. Starter Motor Solenoid Has A Defect: Make Reference to Problem 26.4. Starter Motor Has A Defect: Make Reference to Problem 26.5. Inside Problem Prevents Engine Crankshaft From Turning: If the crankshaft cannot be turned after the drive equipment is disconnected, remove the fuel nozzles and check for fluid in the cylinders while the crankshaft is turned. If fluid in the cylinders is not the problem, the engine must be disassembled to check for other inside problems. Some of these inside problems are bearing seizure, piston seizure, wrong pistons installed in the engine, and valves making contact with pistons. Problem 2: Engine Will Not Start Probable Cause:1. Slow Cranking Speed: Make reference to Problem 27.2. No Fuel In The Housing For The Fuel Injection Pumps: Fill the housing for the fuel injection pumps with fuel with the priming pump. Remove the air with the bleed valve.3. Dirty Fuel Filter: Install new fuel filter.4. Dirty or Broken Fuel Lines: Clean or install new fuel lines as necessary.5. No Fuel To Cylinders: Put fuel in fuel tank. "Prime" (remove the air and/or low quality fuel from the fuel system).6.
