Lucky me has been volunteered to work on a Thomas 135 bobcat. It has a Kubota V1903-E 1.9l with a build date of 2001. The background on it is they ran it out of fuel last week. After screwing with it for a while they managed to get it running again, I guess this took them forever. Anyway it was running for about 20 mins or so and then they went to move it. Somehow they accidently engaged the PTO drive. Don't ask I have no idea how. Anyway this killed it and since then it will not start. I took a look at it today. It appears to be getting fuel to the injectors(I cracked the lines on 2 of the 4). It has power to the glow plugs. However when you attempt to start it all it will do is crank. Its giving black smoke out the exhaust like it is getting fuel. Without the fuel no smoke, right? To me it doesn't seem like the glow plugs are working. Or it has some sort of crank/cam sensor that is junk. My knowledge with the kubota is limited however my mechanical knowledge isnt. If someone could help point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
