THREE CYL INJECTORS

[artnadam]

I have a 1990 +/- L2050 with 660 hrs ---starts a little hard, more white smoke then I am use to on other diesels. A friend thought after 26 years and not a lot of hrs, injectors should be pulled, overhauled and calibrated.

Any thoughts on symptoms as described and a recommended fix?? Thanks

Before going through the trouble of removing the injectors, I'd check the glow plugs and their power supply to make certain they are functioning as designed. This assumes the tractor has glow plugs in the first place.

My neighbor's B9200 started more difficult than it should. Fixing the old wiring to the glow plug circuit and replacing 2 GP's resulted in much easier starting.

Thanks, MOSHIP! Yes, mine has glow plugs, I'll check them and the wiring. Thanks again

I agree with moship. Bad glow plugs will also cause white smoke on start up due to the fuel not burning completely. You can check them with a ohm meter but they have to be separated and the engine cold. If they are just a little warm you will lose resistance.
I have seen them on ebay for under $50.00 for a set of 3, personally I would just change them.
Also as stated make sure you are getting proper voltage when you hold it in the glow position.
