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 electri-
cal 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)
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 (refer to section "Bleeding Air from Fuel
System").
Fuel-filter blocked.
Replace fuel filter.
MOTOR DOES ACHIEVE ENOUGH SPEED DURING STARTING PROCESS
Cause
Solution
Starter battery voltage insufficient.
Check battery.
