Hi all,
First of all, i'm very glad to have found such an active community discussing even the most niche of tractors
I'm sure that with the help of you guys, any issue can be fixed.
A little history on my little Suzue, i've bought it a couple of weeks ago. The previous owner told me it ran out of diesel, he refueled it and it didnt start. My first thought was; what a fool, he probably doesnt realise the system has air in it. Let's pick up this tractor for a very good price!
Fast forward a few weeks, and the following has been repaired/replaced:
- New pistons, rings
- Refinished connecting rods
- Refinished crankshaft
- New bearing shells
- various other replaced broken parts, i.e. the waterpump, gaskets, injector nozzles, bearings
- General maintenance like oils and filters
As you might have guessed by now, the issue was NOT that it ran out of fuel. One cylinder didn't have bearing shells anymore (ground into a pulp, gave a nice metallic effect to the oil), and the crankshaft and connecting rod were deformed. Slight miscalculation on my end..
By now the engine has been rebuilt, AND IT RUNS! The only issue is with the injection pump. After cleaning and reassembling we've used the manual to get it dialed in as good as possible, but with the throttle fully open it doesn't run properly. Also, it kinda seems as if the engine can't keep up with the amount of diesel it's being fed. Do any of you know what might be the issue here?
Looking forward to fixing the issues, great thanks in advance to any of you willing to help out!
