    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Today, April 7, we delivered the 317 skidsteer to the owners. They are thrilled! After making the adjustments to the governor, all problems cleared up. Just to make it trouble-free, we replaced parts that seemed borderline: starter, water pump, belt tensioner, glow plug relay, etc. Then we went...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    We have success!! When I went to adjust the travel on the rack, the adjustment screw had to be turned several times to get the 1mm of clearance between it and the roller. I remember you telling me weeks ago about needing 21mm of travel on the rack and now it all makes sense. You mentioned that...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Hello! Thanks again for your help on the low pressure fuel system. You were right about the rack travel. I was not looking forward to working on the governor end of the engine. That's why I tried to rule out every possibility on the low pressure side. I did end up having to pull the radiator...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Thank you for your prompt response. I did remove the check valve and I could blow both directions with my mouth on it, so I cleaned it with solvent and blew it out with an air hose. It seemed to hold some pressure then. I hooked a gauge and fittings in series with this check valve. When I...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Since my last communication with you we have lost fuel pressure to the low pressure fuel system. In one of your earlier comments, you described a fuel check valve. I saw a diagram which shows this check valve coming out of the rear end of the block. My engine has no such check valve there. At...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Hello again! We just got through with 3 weeks of 0 and single digit temps. Yes, we did have low fuel pressure. We ordered an aftermarket fuel pump which did not fit. We found out from JD there was no aftermarket replacement and had to get the pump from them. Once installed, it took quite a bit...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Here are the numbers you asked for. The engine number is PE4024T020538 The machine serial number is T00317A100936 We went to the machine yesterday and measured the rack travel. That travel is 11mm. I know you had said 21.5mm. It looks like it's traveling the full extent possible. Is there any...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    I will try to get the machine and serial numbers in a day or so. We're working on the machine about 10 miles from here. I do have a couple of other questions, though. I believe you mentioned earlier to check the fuel pressure. Do you mean the low pressure fuel coming from the lift pump? If so, I...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    You're right, it was a typo. 4024TT001 317 JD skidloader. Using an electric fuel pump to bypass the mechanical lift pump on the engine, we ran fuel right into the inlet port on the head. We have cracked loose the nut on the #1 injector, cranked on the engine...no fuel comes out that fitting...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    JD skidsteer 2014 model with 2.4 liter engine. This is unlike any diesel we've ever seen. The fuel system is contained within the head. The injectors are activated from underneath, running off the cam. Will get pics asap. The machine is about 10 miles from here. Friends are helping me with this...

    JD Engine no fuel to injectors

    Hello, appreciated reading some of your interactions with solving engine issues. Helping a friend with 4204TT001 engine. Died & someone else started to look at it before I became involved. This has a mechanical fuel pump that seems to be operating from turbo pressure. For now we bypassed that...
