Abandoned Motorhome RV Unknown Issues

[@squints2c]

There should be a BATTERY BOOST switch on the left had side by the driver. When pushed, it connects the coach batteries to the chassis batteries for more amps to crank. Charge them all up and bleed the fuel at the injectors. You are getting smoke so it must be getting some fuel, but maybe not on all the injectors.

[@ianbeadle6313]

I agree. Bleed the injectors and introduce some injector cleaner.

[@tuck6464]

It should have fired on ether, but I still think you're right, it;s not spinning/cranking fast enough, It's close, but not quite fast enough.

[@jacoblyonsgrimreaper5075]

You got a LEMON

[@xyz4469]

Hi, when you start 10 seconds you should spray ether 3 times while cranking, not only 1 time before starting. This engine has not fired for a long time, has no prime (you said it is a Diesel). It will prime itself, when it starts on ether. The RV looks very nice, lighter colors.

[@joshuagraham3222]

Such a nice motor home. I definitely think it’s worth trying to get it if it’s cheap enough.

[@phils1427]

Wow! Awesome video. Watching a motorhome turn over for 15 minutes is riveting.

[@chrissiano381]

When a diesel sits that long, and you changed out the filters. You need to prime the system in order for it to run. I have been dealing with diesels (big rigs) for 16 yrs.. Try that first, and make sure you have the proper batteries for that thing.

[@KosherFinance]

Pleb life….

[@mattheweustis9506]

Agree they never primed the fuel system

[@benmac940]

Would have thought it would start on the ether still though. But definitely should check the fuel system.

[@KENNEY1023]

Get it towed and work through a list of things mentioned in the comments. If you still can't get it started take it to a disel mechanic you trust see if the mechanic can get it going. The inside just needs a little updating it wouldn't take much.

[@chasmcl42]

You should have phoned a local diesel mechanic to go round there and start and assess it, save you a long journey and a lot of parts, but you are in now push forward, check heater plugs and more battery power, enjoyed the video guys.

[@andyt5116]

it needs more power juice.. if glow plug light goes out and their doin its job no reason way it should fire up.

[@RVLock]

RVLock looks great installed on that! Thanks for the great videos!!!

[@ffield12]

Combination of proper sized batteries needed …. stall fuel not only in the tank but along the way into the engine needs replacing and cleaning. Nice looking rig and a little outdated with some interior things BUT I would think with a Diesel engine that should last longer than gas engines it’s a winner. AND yes you probably should have found a local Diesel shop and gotten their help … especially with the distance you traveled back and forth. Good luck guys and love your channel. Down to earth and real life issues with real life people 👍

[@fillg]

I know there's a very low chance of anything happening but I always store the torch with the push button igniter not attached to the bottle of gas and also not beside the fuel can in my trunk. 😀

[@marlenen6130]

I know, right.

[@tompena7487]

All I can say is I worked for trailways and our buses had 2 large batteries and like u said fresh fuel ur car batteries won't turn fast enough and long enough..love watching . Thanks

[@AstrologerJoe]

Engine batteries look awfully small for that rig....My Monaco has 8D batteries...check the manual...Good Luck!

[@corbettknowles9942]

When you are prime diesel engines after changing the fuel filter you need to add the diesel into the filter and then put it back on go to injection pump and prime it there by cracking the lines loose at the injectors and let it run out till you get diesel any air you not going to get it start

[@mikemizzi4711]

I would check the fuel injectors as well. Great to see the Canadian Gold (Tim Hortons) in the video.

[@dbc105]

LOL, it's a diesel that has been sitting, the rings have relaxed and the compression is down. 24volt the starter so it spins a lot faster and it will start. Once it has run a little the rings will seal back up and the compression will go back up. I used to work on diesels and seen this many times. Be careful with the ether, too much and a bang will bend a rod or crack a piston. Seen that happen too.

[@crayfish7542]

I'm not a Diesel Mechanic but > What @ dbc 105 said, Leaves me w/ the Idea of getting one of those " Snake " Cameras, run the line down to the Intakes [ Where the Starter Fluid was Sprayed ] and along side of it run some flexible tubing and add Marvel Mystery Oil in to the Cylinder. But NOT MORE THEN 1 & 1/2 teaspoons, EACH [ so that you DONT BEND THE Piston Rods ! If I Tried this, I would Let it Sit for @ Least an Hour or Two ! It might free up the Rings, and you might get it started ! Unless there is another problem !

[@mattsan70]

Engine is not spinning over fast enough - bad connections somewhere or not big enough batteries.

[@pickard-cd2yn]

agree i would try putting 24v to the starter motor that would fling it over a lot faster

[@ukbusman]

@@pickard-cd2yn it might well be a 24v system like on busses etc

200+ comments and 1 person said it. Did you test/check the cutoff solenoid? I revived same engine on same chassis sitting for 7 years. 2 new batteries, real battery charger, pulled back solenoid and fired it up. Pick me up on your way back up there(Philly) and I'll get it started

[@stonyearly4027]

As I watched this video, I noticed when you were showing your tools that when you showed the gas torch, you put it in the car without turning it off, I made that mistake one time and something got against it and it was lit in my truck,could have been very bad if I hadn't found it when I did. Always check it when putting it away. Be careful.

[@rommelraj9323]

Its not cranking fast enough. I would say that the grounding is all corroded. Left out in that cold and damp weather. Diesel goes bad and should have tried to drain the tank. I know you said it was half full, but its full of water. These RVs must be winter prepped or they won't start come spring time.

[@dennishuntley7688]

Or add a jug of Hawes fuel conditioner. That will pull the water threw without wasting alot if fuel. Been using Hawes year round in all my diesel engines for years without ever being froze up or water sputtering. It's a amazing product that quiets the injectors on start up. Takes that metallic rap out when firing up.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Apart from all the other valid tips and comments, it sounded very much as if only one cylinder was really trying. Why not the others ? Need bleeding ? Valves not seating, blocked or otherwise troubled injectors... Often they will come back once it starts but they are not helping that first start at all. Key point is that it needs more juice at the starter.

[@nathanv2358]

From a diesel mechanics perspective. If its spluttering like that, it the batteries, not the engine. Its nothing internal because if it was not the battery, the exhaust would be coming out faster then it is. Try more battery power, and then failing that, clean out the fuel system. Defiantly a good deal and go right on ahead with it. Feel free to ask more questions down below this comment.

[@leejones982]

You might be a great mechanic but nothing is a good deal until you know the buying and selling prices and if there is something wrong with it and its cost of repair.

[@nathanv2358]

More than likely it was parked having some issues, seeing as that is a Cummings fuel pressure would be my next check, Cummings had issues with those injector pumps, and there plenty expensive to replace... If you don't decide to buy it let me know I'm interested... keep em coming!!!

[@chrismaloney1311]

Usual things when going onto a job like this - take 2 seriously big fully charged batteries, supplementary fuel tank with electric lift pump to connect straight to the engine (bypass any bad fuel and a siezed fuel pump), starter fluid and 10 gallons of fresh fuel!

[@MrPaige222]

Best suggestions so far. I was saying exactly that (minus the extra fuel pump thing, which is BRILLIANT)

[@Tom-In-Ga]

@@MrPaige222 I agree. I seem to remember something about the fuel pumps on those Cummins engines were under recall for the exact problem the guys are having. Chris's suggestion will confirm that bad fuel pump, etc...

[@lcazier619]

First thing we do on our semi’s when they don’t turn over fast with new batteries is put a new negative battery cable directly from batteries to starter

[@craigschenk729]

And use some large cables!

[@2Moza]

Agree with all that are pointing to the Battery's but would Check the Battery Ground Wire's because if that's no good you will just drain the power from the New Battery that you just put into it. I would also check the injectors for Air leaks and glow plug for operation ,either way still a good find .

[@alanthompson1083]

Don't give up!! Get it home.

[@jackrose5670]

Check the pickup fuel pump. Some older diesels have a pump that feeds the main fuel distributer pump.

[@altenergyofva]

Nice motor home. Based on the motor spinning it’s probably doesn’t need to rebuild yet. Did you check the glow plugs?

[@tripniren9753]

Worth the try for it's a nice motorhome.. Jusr the engine to focus on.. Make sure of all the fuel lines, pressure pump, injectors and ECU module are good.. Then the power issue on why it seems like it's nit getting that much power on the starter.. Or it might be the starter getting weak..

[@danielmakkouk5000]

Try and spray the starter fluid directly into the intake side of the turbo and also try to pressurize the gas tank. I ran low on diesel on my rv and it took me almost three hours to get it fired up

[@lovetosing429]

[@tomsack7721]

I changed my fuel filter on a Cat 326. Didn't fill it all the way before reinstalling. Lost prime. Pressurized the fuel tank and took out plug in top of fuel rail to make sure everything got primed thru fuel pump. Started right up.

[@williamgurtner4759]

Hey man, Turn that torch knob to lock! They tend to light up, if the knob/ igniter gets smack, if it falls against something. Then we'll have a shop car rebuild.

[@edwilder9182]

You have air in the fuel lines loosen one fuel line at the injector and crank the motor until the fuel comes out , then loosen the next one , do this until you get it started,you may have to do every line .please let me know if this works

[@tonyaction5284]

If you rotate the passenger tire to the front driver side, turn on the right turn signal and tap on the roof top four times while cranking it…I bet it will start. Trust me, I had the same issue with mine and this technique works!!!!!

[@caseynelson3164]

My view would be if it truly has half tank of old diesel, it may be bad/ water in it no telling. I would try to see if there is a way to bypass the tank and pull fuel from a fresh source to see if it cranks. If it fires up and runs then tackle the job of draining and disposing of the old diesel.

[@auwz66]

You have fuel as you can see it coming out the exhaust. I have a feeling its just not spinning over fast enough to get combustion so my advice would be to get something like a 627 battery on it.

[@terrysnyder6376]

Hey, Michael & Ivan. Sort of new subscriber here, first comment for me though. Your videos are interesting, and I enjoy you guys fixing some messed-up vehicles. I have a question, my 2003 Mercury Mountaineer's engine area has dirt all over it. I saw you spray an engine with a cleaner & then wash it off. I thought water could get into some parts it shouldn't get into. Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

[@dongriffin3025]

Watched the video - don’t think you primed the fuel filters when you changed them - or did I miss that? Gotta admit thought it was a gasser when it first spun over did not sound like a diesel at all

[@donwatson8257]

Didn't see cracking fuel lines from the P pump to the injectors either

[@cliffmauck510]

yep, that was my first thought. Prime the filters.

[@stephenricketts7764]

Might be self priming system? I don't know about these large things .

[@benmac940]

They didn't show either way they just showed an old filter and said they did it. Either way you'd think it would have started on the ether if that's all it was.

[@richardperry9095]

I suspect the fuel pump. Diesel tarnish is like glue. I suspect the shut off plunger is stuck in the shut off position. I bought a John Deere tractor that had been sitting two years, the electronic shut off plunger was stuck...

Hi from the uk , I love your channel really good content , you really need to go back and get that rv, you have already bought parts and spent a few quid, it wants to start but even with the new battery the starter motor still seems a little bit slow , and the fuel tank on that thing will be massive , did you put enough fresh fuel in , of theres more bad gas than good gas , that could cause you problems :)

[@craigschenk729]

When starting a diesel not started for a while, cycle the key 3 times to heat the glow plugs before trying to crank it to start. Worked for me on Mercedes, GM, Ford diesel engines. Don't know what the powerplant is so take it for what it's worth, 1 man's opinion.

[@janosvarga962]

Cummins have no plugs but grid heater which kinda unnecessary if not below freezing.

[@benmac940]

Still would have thought the ether would have overcome that if thats all it was

[@tranz15]

when you changed the fuel filters did you fill them with diesel maybe you lost the prime to the injectors..... my old freightliner i took it to speedco they had a new guy who installed the fuel filter dry .. i told him to fill it before install he told me i didnt know what i was talking about didnt crank ...almost killed the batteries after countless times of cranking on it i told him to stop messing around fill the filter he relented and did i was out 3 minutes later

[@larrypierce2777]

Did all the fuel filters get changed on it? You probably got it back to the shop by now. I agree, priming, clean filters first. Make sure you fill the new filters with fresh diesel. If it's a cummins there should be a priming button close the the filters. It takes a lot of button pushing to prime it sometimes. The block heaters could be defective or the fuel injectors could be clogged up. Any of a numerous things. I think it's worth it to get it running. The engine could be tired and worn out, then again neglect and sitting is hard on a vehicle.

[@pvillehick67]

Hook up your fuel jug to the fuel filter base that has the primer pump. If there is gasoline in the diesel fuel it may not start due to lower btu of the fuel. The coach looks too good to have major problems.

[@pvillehick67]

You would be surprised how often folks make mistakes when fueling up. A mistake can cause untold grief and expense.

[@MIUBHI007]

As with everything, it boils down to condition and cost…I saw a lot of rust around the doors and being from NY and me not seeing it in person, not sure. You can get 05-06 models from $55k (asking) with 50k miles. And saw one with 15k for $69k. All comes down to price. Depending on how long it’s been sitting, one of the first things I’d try is flush the fuel system, clean the injectors and bleed the system and make sure the glow plugs are working.

[@bmused55]

Did you prime the fuel system? If a diesel sits for a long time or filters are changed, you need to get the air out of the system and prime it until fuel pisses out of the intake on the engine.

Did you bleed the injectors after changing the filters? Did you check the glow plugs for resistance. No continuity no glow plug. Some engines, if the glow plugs don't cycle, it won't let the fuel relay open the fuel shut-off valve.

[@MarioMartinez-mt9fo]

Never change fuel filters on a diesel after sitting for long time cause you will loose the prime and you could burn the starter to get it started for the first time, crank it with old filters and then change filters, also when cranking you can use wd40 or auto zone brake cleaner and you have to spray while cranking to get it fired up

[@davidderway3227]

Monaco is a good RV Company (or at least used to be). My wife and I owned one for 14 years (Monaco Windsor) and did a lot of camping and traveling in it. If the RV has been sitting a loooong time, first thought is fuel not making it to the cylinders, probably due to air in the system. Also diesel fuel has a tendency to gel in cold weather, which means that stuff can be anywhere in the fuel system. Also agree with other that it should be spinning faster, check every connection between batteries and starting system, especially the grounds. Don't purchase w/o driving it, as I'm sure you know, repairing diesels gets expensive, quickly. One of the reasons I did 80% of my own maintenance and upgrades. A drive will show up just about any issue w/the drive train in short order. The fact that the filter you had trouble removing leads me to believe the original owner may not have followed the recommended preventive maintenance, which puts up a red flag in my book. Nice clean interior for sure, but that isn't where the $$$ disappear to.

[@brountre]

I would also check the fuel pump, make sure it is working and it is pusing fuel out and it isn't gel.

The fuel pump needs to be primed on a diesel. Taking out an injector and spinning it over with the fuel line connected to the injector would confirm whether or not the injector pump was primed.

[@Justin52wales]

I think you need to use a plug in mains starter that gives a massive kick to start it

I agree with you James'' the white smoke coming out of the muffler is a sure sign the the fuel isnt burning correctly through injector system the fuel is'supposed to dissipate into the air in ' the fuel compression ignition system & needed to be bleed through'also the white'smoke you'll want to avoid as it is harmful to your skin & eyes..

[@loadbank]

My opinion after working on RV's for 30 years. Check the coach batteries and see if they are still good. If they are, start the generator up and let it start charging those batteries. That way once it gets going you can press the aux start/batt boost button and it will help. You really never had the proper voltage to the starter so it could spin faster to start that engine. It doesn't need an overhaul as it does not have that many miles on it. You changed the oil which was a great start, plus the fuel filters. I've never had to spray starter fluid in one to start it unless it is a really old engine. That one is what a late 1990's to an early 2000's? That engine just needs more cranking power and it will start.

[@ricktimmons458]

it turned over GLOWPLUG? CRAP IN FUEL LINE OR FILTER?

[@jonnycash6909]

Didn’t sound like it was cranking fast enough. Could be several reasons for that. White smoke coming out exhaust show your injecting fuel . Which is another sign engine isn’t spinning fast enough to get diesel to burn. Wouldn’t even burn the either. Did y’all check for blow by?

[@jeffsteele1295]

Working at underground coal mines I have found out that the diesel engines have to be turning over at a higher rate of speed in order to crank . I would also bleed the air at each injector as well , but I'm not a engine specialist'

[@turtle9345]

It was probably air locked, especially with a fuel filter like the old one. Did you fill the fuel filter before putting it in? Diesels will crank forever and not start when air locked.

[@danhall8948]

Did you fill the fuel filter before you put it on ? Air in the system if you didnt

[@user-ej9pb8zi3p]

crack open each injector line/loosen each injector, and crank the engine, or pump the fuel primer mechanism until you see diesel leaking , then tighten, and do the same for each remaining injector. that gets the air out of the lines, and will show if the pump is working. there may also be a mechanics starter button in the rear by the engine bay, like on buses. you probably lost fuel prime. you also probably need a little more battery to get that engine starter spinning the engine faster.

[@wpalmer8901]

It’s a gamble for sure. Good luck.

[@danandyong6653]

Its a diesel.. After fuel filter changes you MUST prime (bleed) the fuel system. Did you loosen all the injectors and wait until each one squirts then tighten. Should start no problem. New engine!? No way. You just need some knowledge in starting diesel engines
