Bought a 950 with the 3 cylinder Yanmar engine. It has been sitting at least 3 years, probably longer than that.
Would not start and found it had a bad injector pump. Had it rebuilt. Installed and primed all the way to injectors.
Fresh fuel in the tank.
It fired up and ran for maybe 30 seconds. Running pretty rough and when I went to slow it down toward an idle it started to buck really bad and just died. Would not crank after that. Hit a couple of times and that was it. Now is just does spins over and nothing. None of the cylinders hit at all.
I tired some starting fluid, yes I know it not good, just to test with the engine fired right up. Ran for a few seconds and nothing.
New fuel. Tank looked empty but might have been some old fuel in there?
Pulled the air cleaner element out (needs replacing).
Checked fuel flow from tank through the filter and there is a good stream to the pump.
It is primed all the way to the injectors. I loosened the line(s) and I can see little squirts of fuel.
Still new to diesel but since it will fire on the starting fluid that leads to to beleive the injectors have failed. Possible something was in the line and clogged it?
Just trying to plan my next move. Leaning toward injector cleaning or replacement. As well as a cleaning of the fuel tank and the all the lines. Am I on the right track?
