    L2002DT - not starting - now banging my head against a wall!

    Thanks Pat, Sorry I missed your post. The blow by has concerned me from the start and I know that I will have to deal with it in the long term. I must get a compression test at some stage just for peace of mind. I am not sure of the engine model but a mechanic mentioned D1305 (3 cylinder...

    kubota 2250 won't start

    I have an L2002DT and experienced similar issues. I ended up cleaning all of the terminals from the battery earth through to the injectors, tried a new battery, had the starter reconditioned, fiddled and fluffed for a few weekends to no avail. It just seemed to turn over slowly and not fire...

    L2002DT - not starting - now banging my head against a wall!

    I'm back! <- said with a victorious lilt in my voice. I had the starter motor reconditioned over the week. The Auto Electrician didn't feel that there was anything "really" wrong with it but gave it a clean and replaced the bushes. I refitted it yesterday and it still wouldn't start although...

    L2002DT - not starting - now banging my head against a wall!

    Thanks for the reply Jeff. I was talking to a mate who has a similar sized tractor. His starts quickly and runs - unlike mine! He had his starter motor reconditioned and suggested that also. I will try this next and pull the starter. The trouble is that I am unsure exactly what I am looking...

    L2002DT - not starting - now banging my head against a wall!

    Hi all, First time poster - a little background firstly. I have an L2002DT 22 HP 3 cylinder motor (as far as i know) that I have owned for about 3 years. It currently has 2000 hours on the clock. I bought it second hand and it appears to be 10 years old or so. Mechanically I have not had to...
