Gents I want to thank you and I think I have sorted my injector problems now. New(ish) reconditioned pump fitted and timed even with rusty flywheel. Tractor starts like a dream and fairly smoke free. I’ve not take her out for a run yet but hoping to be able to get out in the next day or so. Replaced...

Thanks Henk your assistance has been much appreciated.

Yes i’ve ordered a new fuel line, we’ll see how that goes. Ether than a new injector.

Shepp you are a star. Fastened the cam plate up and found a weeping fuel pipe where it goes into the injector. Now i’m trying to tighten it up enough so it stops without stripping the thread. It’s pretty tight but still weeping - any ideas ? What I don’t know was if it leaked before which is entirel...

Hi Shepp

I woke up thinking the same thing. Time to get back out and check those pipes.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Shepp I acquired the reconditioned pump knowing there conditioning had been done some time ago and wasn’t warranted. Given I had started messin with the timing on the old pump I decided to bite the bullet and remove it. The coupling was loose which I figured would be helping things so fitted the ...

Thanks Henk

I’m tempted but I may try find somewhere to send it. If I open up the old one I can see how problematic it looks like it’s going to be. I’ve already tried to open the old one up but I can’t get the cover off.

Many thanks

Fix one problem - find another I’ve swapped the pumps out, worked out the timing through the rust and bled. Sparked straight into life. Now I have a leak at the bottom of the new pump. There is a plate on the lower section of the injector (tank side) and it’s weeping quite a bit. Does anyone know wh...

Cheers for the information, it’s sort of what i’d hope for. I’ll get the old pump off and the new pump on. The coupling seems very noisy and it may be just beciase it is loose so i’m Hoping it will all make sense as to how to adjust once it’s off. A bit of luck that the reconditioned pump is actuall...

Hi Nick The coupling felt very loose. I’ve tried moving it and now starting is harder than before with more smoke. I’m not sure what the pinch bolt is pinching onto. Is it a round shaft ? No numbers visible on the flywheel. I may try get some fine sand paper on it to see what can be seen. Thanks Paul

These are my timing marks or what’s left of them. Does anyone know what number they start at so I can try and work it out.

I’ve just found an image of what the timing marks should look like (clear with stamped numbers) and that looks nothing like mine which seem very feint with no visable numbers so i’m Off back out to try and find them.

Hi All I’ve been readin*as much as I can and have learned a lot from the forums but I hope you don’t mind if I ask what may be some possibly obvious questions. Background - this is my 2nd major but it’s always had a problem with starting. It will only start with the cold start button pressed, even i...
