[shastri1986]

Good day

I have a G110 day that was working fine and I switch it off and now it won’t start when I turn the key it tumble and gives out a white smoke. It’s a electric start single cylinder Diesel engine 2020 model.
I check the following battery is good , it have fuel, oil is good.
Check the last page it was a air lock in the fuel system

Thanks for the help I’m not a mechanic but I have some sort of knowledge on small power tools.

Check that the engine stop lever, cable, and the actual cam on the side of the engine have returned to the "run" position. Mine doesn't tend to "spring back" to "run" and I have to remember to manually return the lever to the correct position. Still fools me every now and again.

Does it tumble when it do ? Did you get a chance to play the video and where exactly is the cable located ?

 

[shastri1986]

Can you put out where the parts are located on the tractor
Would be greatly appreciated

I uploaded some pics can you point out where to check

It's the lever you push on the left handlebar to stop the engine (on mine anyway). I believe the cable runs to the front-bottom corner of the engine on the air intake side (which would be the top right area in your photo, but vertically at the bottom of the side of the engine). I can take a look tomorrow. From memory there are two cables that control engine speed and the engine cutoff in that spot - the engine speed is tight and difficult to move, but the engine stop is very floppy. It could even be that the bit of cable left on the end got folded up or caught on something.

Take a look here, I believe it's the Operator Presence Control on page 1.

Just a update I spray starting liquid in the air in take it started but when the engine is cold it won’t start, before this engine use to start normally so I don’t know what’s causing this problem if it have a heater ?

If it started, did it keep on running?

I used to drive an old dozer that was addicted to starting fluid (ether) and its issue was the injector pump was a bit sad and needing an overhaul. Your machine is fairly new so I'd suspect other things like a blocked injector or ... what was noted in the other thread you replied to, the stop hasn't returned to its correct position.

Also as others have mentioned be careful with starting fluid.

Good day it started I bought it home and I’m parking it up until someone can come take a look at it. When it started it runs normal no cutting off when it’s hot it started back normally. My question is does these small engines have heaters on them?

 

[Outinstickssnafu]

I would not have any idea if it has heaters. Usually there's wires and some indication of a control unit that powers the heaters.

What I have struck is under performing pumps and injectors where eventually the engine will run and work. I've also run into just the once iirc where the pump wasn't letting the rack sit (properly) back into go position. That's that cable / lever / spring that was mentioned in the other thread.

where:

farmerboybill remarked "Glad to see you could get the ol' girl runnin' again. Had what you did not worked, I'd have checked the cable on the OPC. The cable stop on mine slipped once so that it would just barely give you hope that it'd run. The OPCs on the diesels are a fuel shut-off."

lnk also replied "I don't know your machine, but if there is a lever that shuts down the engine, follow the cable to where it attached on the engine end. It has to pull on something, that something may not return to the run position when the lever is released. Make sure the thing that moves, moves back. Diesel engines are pretty simple. Good luck."

Someone came and check it today and told me I got a bad set of diesel

 

[Lnk]

Good deal, glad it is not the machine.

 

[shastri1986]

I did some inspecting and notice this
Saw when the machine was as running oil was coming out from here like a drop every 20 seconds

 

[shastri1986]

When it’s park up no oil is running out

Welcome to TBN.................
I'm not familiar with your model but since it's a diesel does it have a glow plug or an intake heater that must be engaged before trying to start.
Since it is a 2020 is there a warranty still on it. Perhaps the dealer can help you.
Also, your tires were mounted with the tread going the wrong way.

In Trinidad and Tobago they only give us 1 year warranty :-(. I mounted it that way to get better grip it works better like this.

Just a little update the fuel system was air lock and this is what cause the problem the machine is a 2020 build and it seem some of my clamps and washers need to be replaced.
Cause when I crack the airline on top the injector it was bubbling with air after I tightened it. It seem to be working.
