    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    Thanks again everybody for the advice. I have ruled our cam and crank sensor, (by replacing like a dummy). I figured injectors weren’t opening and thought that could be the problem. Unless I bought bad sensors then that’s not it. Virgo can you explain to me again how to check pulse. Also I keep...

    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    I have had this machine for 6 years and have been an operator for over 20. I’m very familiar with the operation and safety features, I’m just not a mechanic I do appreciate all your help, but I’m 100% certain it is not the switch. When I get into the diagnostic screen of the machine, it will...

    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    I’m not close to mine either but that’s the first thing I checked. I let my dad borrow it. He unloaded it off the trailer, greased it, trammed 30’ and it just shut off. My machine will not crank if the switch is not in the run position.

    The switch is in operating position. If you engage the switch the engine won’t even crank.

    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    Thanks for the advise. I have tested the voltage to the injectors, when I crank the engine the injectors show voltage. Which makes me think it’s more to do with fuel rail pressure. I’m no mechanic for sure just a lot of late night research and brain storming!!

    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    Thanks for the comments. I will order a WSM. I have access to one for an 80 and it seems to be the same setup. The machine is def a common rail. It does have a computer system. I figured out how to get into the system and do a scan. It shows no error codes. I know the system will show codes due...

    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    Hi thanks for the response. Yes engine cranks but does not start. It does have a manual fuel shutoff on filter but that’s it. Fuel is controlled by a SCV (suction control valve). No seatbelt safety shutoff. I’ve checked all relays and fuses. No I do not have a WSM. I’ve checked and it’s getting...

    Help!! Kubota excavator won’t start

    I have a kx040-4 it was running fine then shutoff like you killed the switch. Emergency stop button has not been hit. Have fuel coming through the filters and up to the injectors. Any thoughts?

    Overflow valve sticking?

    I have a kx040. I am receiving fuel to the injectors, but seems there is no pressure. Is it possible the overflow valve on the pressure pump could be stuck open? Is there a simple test that can tell me? Also if I unplug the SCV will it give full fuel to the pump, or no fuel? Any information...

    Kubota kx040-4 won’t start

    Since the SCV will need programmed I believe it would be best just to wait and have the machine scanned to confirm that is the problem.

    Kubota kx040-4 won’t start

    Hi all. I have a Kubota kx040-4 that just shut off while tramming, like you turned off the key switch. It will crank but not start. It has zero error codes, I have some fuel coming out of the injector pump but doesn’t seem like there is much pressure. Is there a check valve in the fuel rail or...
