My dad passed away a couple of years ago. He owned a stump grinder at the time. It’s been sitting in the barn since he passed and I haven’t had the will to touch it. I finally decided it was time to get it fired up again. It’s a Rayco 1642 with a 42 hp, air cooled 3 cylinder duetz diesel engine. The grinder in the pic isn’t his but it’s the same model.
I installed a fresh battery then pulled the fuel filter and it still had plenty of fuel but I topped it off. It’s turning over and it’ll run for a second if I place a rag with regular gas over the air intake but dies as soon as I remove it. I cracked open the fuel line at the furthest injector and turned it over for quite a while but it never started blowing out fuel.
Any advice appreciated.
I realize this is a Yanmar forum but some of the the most amazing techs hang out here and I hope one can offer some guidance. If someone knows a better place to post this question please let me know.
