Jinma 204 - Problems getting it started

[white_ja]

Yeah, it is. I have the same concern, but as long as the engine is turning, the pump is pumping and I should have steering. After cranking the engine for a few seconds, I have enough hydraulic pressure to turn the wheels. I think I'll be okay.

I was hoping you had it running. My problem with the injector pump was fairly easy to correct once I did it. I thought our problems sounded so similar that you might have a bad injector pump... keep us informed.

Hello all. I have an update for you. My little tractor is running! It turns out that the injection pump WAS the culprit. It took a few tries to get the pump working properly, but it finally is running on both cylinders.

Greg, you're right! It will run on 1 cylinder! I had a couple friends over and we decided to go for it and take the pump apart. We found the pump was gummed-up. The parts were stuck or sticking, so we cleaned it and reassembled it. The first attempt resulted in the engine starting on the #2 cylinder. After several minutes, realizing the other cylinder wasn't going to pick up, I shut her down.

We disassembled the pump again and finally, after cleaning and lubricating the working parts, I primed it and started it up... on both cylinders! I strapped on the FM and mowed the lawn.

I know.. I know.. It's been several months since my last post. What have I been up to? Well, I've been a faithful reader of this forum. I log in and read on a weekly basis. I just didn't feel I earned the right to comment.

Well deserving or not, I love to read your questions and comments. Keep 'em coming boys and I'll try to contribute something from time to time. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
