Hi,
I'm having some some starting problems with the above tractor after fairly extensive work has been carried out on the engine. The DPA has been overhauled and been back for checking. The injectors have been back to the repairer twice for new nozzles to be fitted after a test first time. A new lift pump is fitted. The timing has been adjusted in small steps in both directions.
The cylinder head has been overhauled and vacuum tested. New liners and rings have been fitted although they have not fully bedded in yet. Compression results are satisfactory. A new thermostart has also been fitted with a new main filter and tank filter.
The problem is that the starting is not as good as it should be. It appears to be firing on one initially with a lot of smoke. When the engine starts to warm it is OK. It frequently will cut out almost immediately after the first start. When restarted there are no further problems. All of the lines have been checked for possible air intake. A new air filter housing has also been fitted.
Has anyone encountered any problems like this before? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
