Jinma 204 - Problems getting it started

[greg_g]

I know you're putting this together yourself, but even crate tractors are supposed to come with a parts warranty. Have you approached the seller about this problem yet?

I think you may have a couple of rings stuck. I would give the pull a CHEAP try.

Thanks,

I bought it from a guy who bought out a dealer. So there is no warranty. I bought "as is" off Ebay.

I've got good compression. I'm not getting any fuel out of the #1 line from injection pump. I don't think any amount of pulling would start it, but I may try it anyway. I'm pretty sure the pump has some dirty Chinese fuel dried up in it because it was sitting in the crate for so long. I always wanted to take apart an injection pump. DelJen tells me that it is probably bad and it can only be used as a boat anchor. So, what have I got to lose? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

OK. All is not lost yet. I thought Rural King might be able to help you, but I see they outfit their JM200 with the 3 cylinder. I do know though, that Homier uses the 2 cylinder in their FarmPro 2420. Check out http://www.farmprotractors.com/2420_series/2420main.asp and http://www.farmprotractors.com/support.asp#57

Prior to BUYING a PUMP I would pull the front timing cover and CHECK to make sure it has the KEYWAY installed and that the drive gear has not come off, they are held on by bolts & washers I belive, this happened to someone a while back on one that ran for about 2 hrs then dies showed same symptoms and the gear drive came appart, no real damage but they had to re-time everything. and reattach gear & keyways.

One thing I didn't buy as a spare was a injector pump: you can try and contact ZANG ZUNG who is in china, they can ship you the parts but shipping costs are very high... I belive UPS is not shipping to/from china, where as 2 yrs ago everything was FED EX only there are also a number of other china side importers who may help.

but I don't have any info HERE @ GF's house. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

You could go ahead and remove the fitting from the top of the pump where the line hooks up to, under that there are some small parts, plunger, spacer, etc. YOu could remove those and look for signs of a problem and clean. As you say you have nothing to lose.

I have a container leaving JInma next week. It is likely too late,but if you want to order a pump, I will try to get it added. we would have to move quickly. you could PM me or conatact me sales"at"artrac.com

Haven't removed the front cover yet. I assumed since I was getting fuel from the 2nd line, the gear was intact. Could be loose I guess.

 

[white_ja]

Bluechip, I did remove the spring and plunger. Looks clean but I can't see down in the hole very well. If I just loosen the fitting and pump the primer, I get all kinds of fuel through it.

I am going to remove the pump and start looking internally for gunk. There has to be something causing the pump to not build pressure. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Have you got it going yet? Sounds like you and SevenCorners have some problem in common.
