Introduction
For Specifications with illustrations, make reference to SPECIFICATIONS FOR D346 INDUSTRIAL AND MARINE ENGINES, Form No. SENR7245. If the Specifications in Form SENR7245 are not the same as in the Systems Operation and the Testing and Adjusting, look at the printing date on the back cover of each book. Use the Specifications in the book with the latest date.Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be difficult. On the following pages there is a list of possible problems. To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction.This list of problems, possible causes, and remedy, 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 recommendations 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 can not give all possible problems and corrections. The serviceman must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.1. Engine Fails to Crank When Start Switch is Actuated2. Engine Cranks, but is Hard to Start or Fails to Start3.

Difficulty within the fuel system can be caused by lack of fuel or too much fuel for proper combustion.Many times, the fuel system is blamed when the fault lies elsewhere, especially when smoky exhaust is the problem. Smoky exhaust can be the result of a faulty fuel injection valve, but it can also be caused by lack of air for complete combustion, overloading at high altitude, excessive oil burning or lack of compression. See the topic, AIR INDUCTION AND EXHAUST SYSTEM for conditions that may cause lack of horsepower.Measuring Engine Horsepower Output
5P2150 ENGINE HORSEPOWER METERThe 5P2150 Engine Horsepower Meter is part of the 5P2160 Engine Horsepower Meter Arrangement. Use it to troubleshoot complaints of Low horsepower. Special Instruction GEG02402 has instructions for its use.Visual Inspection
1. Observe the fuel pressure gauge reading. Lack of pressure usually indicates difficulty in the supply side of the system.2. Check the fuel level in the supply tank and the fuel tank cap vent for being plugged. Drain the water and sediment from the tank.3. Check for leakage in the fuel supply lines and components or for a kinked or restricted
