Hey everyone. Hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction. The fuel shutoff solenoid on my mower doesn’t function when I have normal power from the key switch. I have to put 12v to the shutoff via a bypass wire to shut the engine off. However if I remove the 15 amp fuse for main...

Final update got the engine running after double checking all mechanical possibilities I started looking at electrical and sure enough was an earthing issue. Ran a wrath cable from battery earth to a starter motor bolt and she fired up.

I got my grinder out with a 1.2mm cutting disk and cut a little 2-3mm deep chase on both sides of the oil gear right at the junction of the two gears- just enough to seat the puller. The gear has spun on the shaft at some stage which is why it wouldn’t come easily . Can see the marks in the...

managed to get back in this tonight and got the oil pump gear off. Interestingly it is not on a key and there is sign of it having spun which is why I was having so much trouble removing it (see photo ) I guess it is just an interference fir? Anyway, the key on the crank timing gear is fine so...

Can’t see the keyway at all the oil gear is hiding it

thanks for this but I have tried everything I can to get them apart and can’t which is why I am thinking keyway damage . My next step will be to grind some narrow slots on the back of the oil gear to try and get purchase with gear puller. If still no joy it will be a destructive method to get...

Hi everyone I pulled the camshaft gear and it has key behind the retaining nut so all good there. All lined up ok. Thought I’d pull the oil pump and timing gear off the crank to check the keyway but can’t get any separation between the gears to use gear puller and trying to pull both together I...

Hi all, I have some updates. The engine was cranking anticlockwise looking from flywheel end which is correct (right?) so ruled out starter motor issue. All three cylinders were showing about 200psi so issue affecting all three cylinders. Thanks for the ideas and the image. Mine looks the...

Yeah I was getting white smoke

Thanks everyone for the great feedback Some things for me to look at. As Henro pointed out I am in New Zealand, so sorry for delayed response. Does anyone know the correct rotation direction when looking from flywheel end? I guess if spinning backwards it will be opening exhaust and then...

Hey there I know this is an old post but I have exactly this issue -how do you mean you flipped the crank by 180?

Have completely rebuilt a D1105 engine after it overheated and seized. Eveything is working OK, turns over, glow plugs work and have diesel at the injectors, but it won't start. Fuel is not an issue and preheat is OK - I put compression tester on it and only gettting 200psi (instead of 400+). I...
