ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING
(cont)
Problems Possible Causes Solutions
Engine produces excessive
black or dark grey smoke.
1. Maximum delivery of injection
pump too high.
Calibrate pump on test bench to va-
lues specified in calibration tables.
2. Injection pump delivery excess-
ively retarded or automatic ad-
vance regulator damaged.
Adjust injection pump timing or check
automatic advance regulator.
3. Injection pump delivery excess-
ively advanced.
Adjust injection pump timing.
4. Injectors partially or totally ob-
structed or incorrectly adjusted.
Clean and overhaul injectors and ad-
just pressure setting; replace if
necessary.
5. Air filter clogged. Clean filter unit and replace filter el-
ement if necessary.
6. Loss of engine compression due
to:
-- piston rings sticking;
-- cylinder liner wear;
-- worn or incorrectly adjusted
valves.
Replace damaged parts or, if necess-
ary, overhaul the engine.
7. High--pressure fuel lines dam-
aged.
Inspect and replace if necessary.
Blue, grey--blue or grey--
white smoke.
1. Injection pump delivery excess-
ively retarded or automatic ad-
vance regulator damaged.
Adjust injection pump timing or check
automatic advance regulator.
2. Injectors obstructed or damaged. Clean, overhaul and calibrate injec-
tors, replace if necessary.
3. Oil leaking past piston rings due
to sticking rings or cylinder liner
wear.
Replace damaged parts or, if necess-
ary, overhaul the engine.
4. Oil leaking through the inlet valve
guides due to guide or valve stem
wear.
Overhaul cylinder head.
5. Engine does not reach correct
operating temperature (thermo-
stat faulty).
Replace the thermostat.
Engine runs on after
switching off.
1. Engine stop electromagnet dam-
aged.
Replace electromagnet.
2. All--speed governor damaged. Overhaul injection pump and adjust
on test bench to values specified in
calibration table.
