Hinomoto E230

[Annette Moore]

Needing some help. I have a Hinomto E230 was bushhogging on it just stopped. Has diesel and checked oil. Everything was ok. What will cause it to just stopped. Drained the diesel and changed the oil it turns over and tries to start battery is fine. What could be the problem

There is a screen in the sediment bowl that needs to be cleaned every so often. Fuel filter... There is a bleeder screw on the injection pump that should free flow fuel when loosened. You do not have to remove all the way. Let a cup or so run through. then it should crank up. If you do not know the right screw I will send pic.

Mr. Topbuilder please send photo. I appreciate the reply someone said it may be the fuel pump. Hoping its what you are saying. I was bushhogging and it just stopped. It will turn over and it tries to start then it wears the battery down even when its hooked up to jumper cables

How many hours? Any chance you have gas in the fuel? Have you looked at the air cleaner? Check to see if the fuel shut off lever is functioning correctly and is not pulled out. Make sure your three point hitch is in the down position. Do not over heat the starter. They are expensive little buggers.

View attachment Hino fuel pump.pdfView attachment Hino fuel pump.pdfFuel start up procedure:
Move lever to off on sediment bowl. Remove glass bowl and screen. Clean and replace. turn fuel lever back on.
Fuel tank should be nearly full.
Loosen fuel filter. You should see fuel flowing through glass bowl. Allow fuel to drain on top of filter until full. Tighten back up.
Loosen bolt in pic "fuel bleed screw". 10mm socket or wrench. It has a slot for screwdriver, I would not use a screw driver. Loosen screw, do not remove. Allow fuel to flow out until you see no more air bubbles. Tighten bolt. Now it should start without cracking the fittings at the injectors.
