Yanmar ym2000 won't start

[careyo63]

I've had a 550cca. in my 2000 for the last 7yrs. and I see no reason it's not going to last longer. The dealer I bought it from put it in. I would say it's not a Wolly World Spec.. And IMO. if you go that way which most likely I will also I'll go up to a highest that will fit Like California stated. Your need it In the Winter. And by the way Bel Air.Hartord co. before coming to Ga .

I would still use your truck cranked and jumped to the batter till you get it started so that repeated starts dont drain the battery too much. It maybe a fuel and cranking speed issue.

Make sure to use that Decompression lever by your left knee under the dash when in seated position. the lever should flip away from to tractor to open the valves and flop back toward it to close them.

I am originally from Baltimore county, I live in calvert county but the tractor is at my camp in somerset county, now for the bad news.. I installed the battery bled the fuel system as everyone instructed, and cranked it over about 10 different times some using starting fluid some without. No luck, when I used fluid there was heavy grey smoke and light grey without fluid, I tried with the compression relief up and down and switching it during the starting attempt with no luck. Where should I go from here? I was thinking about draining the fuel tank and adding new but feel like it might still start for a minute with starting fluid even with bad fuel? The oil is black but doesn't appear milky. Any advice?

Haven't been back in Yrs. I can remember my parents complain of the commute to Baltimore. They both worked in the city 25min. from Rt.45! :laughing:

On your 2000 If it was mine IMO. I want to know what I have Fuel,Air and Compression. Are you sure the fuel is clean? The starting fluid I would tend to believe it should at least Hit. I would be Draining every Drop out and put good fuel in it. No more Starting Fluid just not worth it. Air, If the Air Filter is Removed rule that out. Only thing left is Compression. You can make one but Hoye's got the setup for that. If you can get the Injectors out and have a pressure gauge all your need is this Yanmar Tractor Parts COMPRESSION TESTER ADAPTER If the Inj. are stuck then you may need the puller also. If the Good New fuel fails my bet your going to find Low Comp.. Your turning over and have some Comp. so you may just need Rings.

Do the injectors just pop out after the retaining bracket is removed? When testing the compression should u only pull one injector at a time and put the gauge in or pull both injectors at the same time and test with them both out? What should the compression be? Any I rings or anything else I will need to replace? I'm hoping it doesn't end up being the compression and only a fuel problem, might order that adapter from Hoyt and test next time I go down.

 

[careyo63]

They pop out but you will be the only one to find out how easy. I've heard some that come right out to Buying the remover. The Pressure tester fits in it's place. You can make that also but if it was me that will be ordered while I work on getting the Inj. Out. The bolt hole with the line you was referring to on top is what is used to pull them. Some people has made their own just using the correct Bolt a Nut and a Hm. made retaining frame. If the prev. owner is well known to you lets get the fuel corrected and Darn! certain to move on.

He owns the neighboring property I believe it ran, but I believe he didn't take care of it it was a secondary tractor for awhile. Do I test compression with both injectors removed, or remove one test that cylinder, reinstall remove other test that cylinder.. I've done a lot of gas tests but only 1 diesel awhile ago. Sounds like through everyone's comment ls these things don't take much to run or work on, hopefully we get It figured out soon grass will be growing!
