Yes I will definetly need some tips when it comes to working with the injectors. As an update, I've freeded up the decompression lever and assembly. I dismantelled it and lubercated all the parts. It now works like it should. I've checked the rocker arms and checked to see if any valves were sticking. They are all free moving. I did notice that the injector pump had loose fittings at the base of the injector body. I pulled off all of the tues. I had to remove two of the caps and springs of the injector pump to gain access when removing the tubes. I tightened all the caps and made sure that the springs went back in straight and were not pinched. Tomorrow I'm going to perform a compression test. I'll probally try to pull the injectors when I do this. I ordered new glow plugs just for the hell of it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the compression test comes out good. Then I'll move onto testing the injector pump and the injectors. Will need details on cleaning and inspecting those. But I'm starting to get through things. Running out of stuff that could be broke. I'm told you gotta run the glow plugs with these Kubota engines otherwise you can crank till you turn blue. I'm charging my batteries tonight so I should have some details on compression tomorrow. I'm told you should run two batteries for the glow plugs. Thank you guys for the support and tips. Looking forward to hearing this suker fire up!!!!I'd remove or wind back the decompression setup. It is not used in this machine, the starter is more than powerful enough to spin the engine fast enough to get it to start.
Get the injectors out, put them apart but keep their parts together. If you have any problems here, let me know and i'll try to give yo more detail of what to do to make sure they are free. Then if youa re getting fuel from the injector pump, you hook a tube line to the pump out the back, install an injector and crank, this is a quick go or no go test for the injectors. They should make a nice spray cone without any drips.
