[QUOTE="Jyuma, post: 43210, member: 4393"] Well... it's been about 8 months since I first posted about this problem and I finally got around to pulling the head. It looks like mice got in thru the exhaust port and a rotted muffler and there were actually acorns behind one of the valves. Pistons 3 and 4 were rusted pretty tight and the valves were rusted in the guides. Long story short… rebuilt the heads and cleaned up the cylinder walls. It turns out they weren’t really that bad and they cleaned up nicely. Everything looks right and the engine turns over great but it won’t start. I seem to remember the guy I bought the loader from telling me to never let it run out of fuel because it’s very difficult to bleed the fuel lines and get the fuel flowing. Does anybody have any tips on how to bleed the fuel system in a Kabuto V1902B 4 cylinder diesel engine? I already followed the procedure outlined in the service manual but so far it isn’t working. Maybe bad glow plugs? [/QUOTE]
