 Topic: I'm Stumped...
Posted: 10 Nov 2016 at 11:09am |

So I've been working on a Kubota B7100 tractor trying to get it running. Glow plugs are good, injectors tested good, pump is pumping fuel as it should, compression is good...but it simply will not start. What am I missing here?

is it making any smoke out the muffler? if it is you may need to spin it faster or warm the block if its cold

Yes, when cranking it smokes out the exhaust.

Hook another tractor to it and pull it that'll start a hard starter lots of times.You just might not be spinning it fast enough or not building compression pulling it will help over come both plus you won't be burning up your starter.

check the timing, if its a wee bit off will make them hard to start

Did u test each glow plug seperately with the common exciter strip removed? If even one plug isnt working they will be a bear to start.

I used to have one of those. I lent it to my dinkus neighbor and he ran it out of fuel. I went up with fuel, cracked injector lines, had all kinds of fuel out them, still wouldn't run. Ran the battery down couple of times trying. Well looked it over and there is a plug on the top of the injection pump (could be on the side near the top). It was a 3cyl diesel. Cracked that while cranking, fired right up?? I guess that is how they bleed out air. Just something I ran into.

Why do we keep loaning tractors and tools to neighbors? Will we never learn?

pull the glow plugs, and test compression, most don't start well if its under 250-300 PSI.
Timing not much of an issue, on Kubotas, cartridge style injector pump, gasket thickness is the way you time 'em...
