8.1 Troubleshooting
DIESEL MOTOR FAILS TO START
Cause Solution
Starter battery switched „OFF“. Check position of battery switch and switch „ON“ (if
installed).
Starter battery voltage insufficient (battery too weak). Inspect battery terminals and cables for a good electrical
connection (Inspect against corrosion, tattered wires,
etc.).
Starting current disrupted. During the normal starting process, the battery voltage
drops to 11V with a fully charged battery. If the voltage
does not drop during starting, the electrical connection is
faulty. If the battery voltage drops lower than 11V, then
the battery has been discharged.
STARTER IS TURNING MOTOR, BUT FAILS TO START
Cause Solution
Fuel inlet solenoid valve not opening. Check wire connections and circuitry to solenoid valve.
(ref. DC wiring diagram: Relay K2, Fuse)
Fuel pump not working. Check fuel-filter and pump: clean if necessary.
Lack of fuel. Check fuel supply.
Glow-plugs not working correctly. Check glow plugs and heating time.
Too much air in fuel lines. Test fuel system for leakage. Bleed air from fuel system
Fuel-filter blocked. Replace fuel filter.
MOTOR RUNS IRREGULARLY
Cause Solution
Faulty centrifugal injector governor. Have the centrifugal governor inspected by a Farymann-
Service technician.
Too much air in fuel lines. Bleed air from fuel system.
MOTOR DOES ACHIEVE ENOUGH SPEED DURING STARTING PROCESS
Cause Solution
Starter battery voltage insufficient. Check battery.
Damaged bearing(s) piston (seized). Repairs need to be carried out by Farymann-Service.
