D.4 Starting Problems
D.4.1Fuel Solenoid Valve
All engines are equipped with an electric inlet fuel solenoid valve (12V) which switches off the
motor.
The fuel solenoid valve is located in front of the injection pump. It opens automatically, if the
"START"-button is pressed on the remote control panel. The solenoid valve is CLOSED when the
generator main power is switched "OFF". For this reason, it requires a few seconds before the
motor comes to a full halt
If the generator fails to start, runs rough, does not reach the proper RPM, or does not stop pro-
perly, the first item to suspect in most cases is the fuel solenoid valve and should be inspected
first.
A check of the fuel solenoid valve by removing the plug from the fuel solenoid valve for a short
period whilst in operation (first remove the small retention screw) and replace it immediately. The
motor should "react immediately" by revving high.If the motor does not react sharply to the recon-
nection of the solenoid wire, it is a sign that the solenoid valve could be faulty.
