Hi, all. Just walked into your great forum.
Got a Volvo Penta MD 2010 that doesn't start...
Just serviced the injectors, new battery.*Main suspect: diesel delivery.
So, any ideas on what to do next...?
regards
Got a Volvo Penta MD 2010 that doesn't start...
Just serviced the injectors, new battery.*Main suspect: diesel delivery.
- Have bled the standard bleeding bolt on top of diesel filter.
- Loosened the small bolt on the connection where diesel goes in to the injection pump, and where the return line also*goes. There is diesel coming out.
- Loosened the pipe connections to the injectors, turned the engine for bleeding. No diesel.
- Loosened the connection from the injection pump. Took a picture.
- The flash from the cam exposed more dirt than I was happy with. Traces of paint.*
- Flushed the pipes. Cleaned the delivery valves (or what I should call those two things coming out of the pump)
- Tried to bleed the injection pump using the starter motor. I have not done this before, but I expected som sort of squirts or dribbles - there was nothing at all.
- Loosened those two delivery valves in the picture half a turn. There was a hiss and some bubbles.
- Now I could bleed the injection pump with the lift pump lever. There came diesel. And then more bubbles. And then just diesel.
- Tightened them down. But there was still no squirting when I turned over the engine...
So, any ideas on what to do next...?
