I have a couple of issues going on with my Jinma and starting.
1. It's been really difficult to start. I noticed I had a leak at the valve of my sediment bulb, so I replaced that and no more leak. In getting it going again, had my wife constantly hit the primary bulb and it eventually got going. Thought, ok just had to purge all the air out of the system. But went to start it today and it was acting the same. She started hitting the primary and it would act like it wanted to kick over, but no dice. Getting a dark grey smoke, wouldn't call it black smoke, as I try to start it. This led to my second issue...
2. As I went to try and start it again, I lost all power. None of my lights are showing when I turn the key or anything. Won't even try now. Checked all my fuses, all seem ok. Not sure what the heck is going on. Could it be a bad alternator or voltage regulator?
Thoughts on either of these issues?
