Bought WorkTrak 204

[btr568]

Hiya new to the boards,new to a diesel tractor,new to Chincom Tractors:thumbsup:
I bought a 1999 Worktrak 4x4 with a TY290 2 cyl engine,it came with several implenments and was a steal(or at least I thought so at the time).It ran good during the test drive(smoked some,but it stopped).Anyways now it is acting like it losing power/starved for diesel.It actually quit once,but ran again about 20 minutes later.Soooo,any suggestions besides me putting a for sale sign on it??? Also looking back thru the board on 08-22-2008,there was mention that the TY290 engine is no longer being made,so yes I am a tad nervous about parts,lol

Naw, there's still parts available. Online that is, can't speak for brickfront. Anyway. What does the temperature gauge say as it starts to splutter and quit?

in the green section,don't smell hot,or blow the cap off when I checked it

Ok, that's a start. How about the air filter? Besides staying within operating temperature, a diesel can't run without fuel or air. So let's move on to air. Before investing in a new air filter, simply remove the one that's on there. See if the stalling/stopping issue persists. If nothing else, we may get to the bottom of this - as a matter of elimination.

yup it'll run without the air filter in....this tractor sat up for a fair amount of time(I bought it from the owners widow)if it had air in the lines would it make it stavre for power?

Ok, dirty air filter. That was a reasonably inexpensive fix. If it takes the same filter as my 3 cylinder, it's about $20 at NAPA. If you lived close, I've got a spare you could have cheap. And if it had air in the lines, it wouldn't start.

yup it'll run without the air filter in....

Please clarify - Greg's question was whether it runs OK (i.e. no more problems) with the filter removed.

As Greg said change the air filter and then tackle the fuel system. Cleaning all feel screens starting with the one in the tank and another in the fuel line by the injector pump. Must remove fuel bowl and fuel line between tank and injrctor pump to do. I would also flush the tank and install a new spin on fuel filter. My guess is crap in the fuel system from the lay up time.
