Why is my Kubota D1503-M-E overheating?
If your Kubota Engine is overheating, start by checking the lubricating oil system and ensure the lubricating oil filter is working correctly. A filter element full of impurities can cause poor lubrication, so replace it if needed. Also, verify the bearing clearances are within factory specifications, and check the injection timing, adjusting it to 0.31 rad (18°) before top dead center.
What type of fuel is suitable for Kubota D1503-M-E?
If the Kubota Engine is using fuel of extremely poor quality, select good quality fuel. Use No. 2-D diesel fuel only.
What to do if oil lamp lights up during Kubota D1503-M-E operation?
If the Kubota Engine oil lamp lights up during operation, check the lubricating system. Also, verify that the engine bearing clearances are within factory specifications. Inspect the function of the relieve valve in the lubricating system, check the pressure switch, and examine the filter base gasket.
Why does the exhaust of my Kubota Engine suddenly turn dark?
If your Kubota Engine exhaust suddenly turns dark, inspect the fuel injection system, especially the fuel injection nozzle.
What causes moving parts to overheat in Kubota D1503-M-E?
If the moving parts of your Kubota Engine are overheated due to a shortage of lubricating oil or improper lubrication: * Check the amount of engine oil using the oil level gauge. * Inspect the lubricating oil system. * Replace the oil filter cartridge every two oil changes. * Ensure the engine bearing clearances are within factory specifications.
What to do if Kubota D1503-M-E makes unusual sound?
If the Kubota Engine suddenly makes an unusual sound, carefully inspect all moving parts.
Why does Kubota D1503-M-E Engine revolution suddenly decrease or increase?
If the Kubota Engine revolution suddenly decreases or increases, check the adjustments, injection timing, and the fuel system.
What causes insufficient compression and leaking valves in Kubota D1503-M-E Engine?
If the Kubota Engine is experiencing insufficient compression due to leaking valves, it may be caused by a bad valve or excessive wear of rings, pistons, and liners. Replace with new parts and grind the valves.
What to do if Kubota D1503-M-E Engine has lack of fuel?
If the Kubota Engine is experiencing a lack of fuel, check the fuel tank and refill if necessary. Also, inspect the fuel system for air or leaks.
How to remove thick carbon deposits on Kubota D1503-M-E Engine injection nozzle?
If the Kubota Engine has thick carbon deposits on the orifice of the injection nozzle because water or dirt is mixed in the fuel, clean the nozzle injection piece, being careful not to damage the orifice. Check to see if the nozzle is working properly. If not, install a new nozzle.
