Depends on weather and compression the glow plugs has to be used, hold the key for 20 seconds then crank. That coil that burned through is to let you know the glow plugs are ready and hot. The mechanical pull switch is only for cutting off. To turn off by key switch, it would have a solenoid and actuator that would push on the mechanical switch on the fuel pump

[@Mr.Engineer.]

You probably already have found this out, but it seems the pump is cobtrolled in the same manner as the 2H engine with manual gearbox. The butterfly valve have 2 hoses going down to the injection pump applying vacuum/atmospheric pressure on both sides of a diaphragm which in turn moves the fuelrack position inside the pump, determening the throttle. If I remember correct from when I had an 2H engine one hose goes from the bypass tube on the throttle valve measuring "atmospheric" and the other from the vacuum/engine side of the throttle valve. The diaphragm in the pump can tear and then the rpm will act sporadic or sometime just full throttle. The cool thing about these pumps is that you now got a throttle/butterfly valve so of you turbo the engine it will make all kinds of nice turbo sounds 😁

My SDK7 is a beast. Never lets me down. They are actually really solid machines. Also that upright lever on left is the throttle, the one under it is a manual fuel cutoff that someone installed. Same as mine. A lot of parts are actually available cheap from toyota. I think the gauges, fusebox and switches are all still available and cheap. Most of the issues with mine when i picked it up were from dirty fuse connections in the fusebox. Everything works flawlessly in mine now. I even grafted a bobcat 753 door onto mine and sealed up the back and sides with 1/4” lexan with gaskets and installed a full side heater core. I use it to plow all winter. Its a beast with chains on back. 👍

dude that’s so awesome!! I’ve heard a lot of great things about them and heard the engine is extreamly tough

[@starionslider2116]

@@TheHomePros6221 yea they are but i did hear they are susceptible to overheating due to either blocked rad or the fan blades snapping off then the heads tend to crack. They are pretty rare because not many were imported to the US but I’ve probably seen 10 for sale in last 7-8 years and 5 of them said they had head issues. The only good thing is the engine parts seem to be available if you know where to look. Ive owned mine since 2014 and i really only use it a few hours here and there around the house and every snowfall it does my super steep driveway but I have not had any issues with it since i fixed it up after buying it. I think i did a waterpump on it in the beginning and then its been super reliable. Every gauge and light works correctly. The water in fuel bulb was lit after i fixed the wiring and I figured it was a different issue…… I drained the water seperator and boom the light went off and its been perfect 😂.

Hi, good video i really enjoyed it, couple of things i noticed and i wanted to give you some ideas for wiring. Do not use the shrink tube with solder, it's usually crap solder and it only looks good on the outside, use good solder and classic shrink tubes instead. And for the soldering, these point tip solders are usually for smaller jobs on PCB's and stuff, for wires use bigger solder gun. I dont know how its called in your contry but we call it transformer solder gun, it has a solid wire as a heating and soldering element. It heats up quick and solders nice these big wires. Cheers from Czechia!

@@TheHomePros6221 I think what's he's trying to say is that if you use a soldering gun (looks like a gun) that has a larger tip and higher wattage, you can transfer a lot more heat to those larger wires vs. a small tip soldering iron, Regardless of the quality of the smaller soldering iron, it just can't provide the same amount of heat. By the way, that was a big job replacing all that wiring, so good on you. Best of luck with the machine.

I'd start with the manual. I believe the lever and the knob are cobbled on from something else. Might be switched. That pull out now might be the kill switch but it also might be a throttle set where you twist it to lock it once you set the throttle

The manual can be downloaded fro free,i just got one to see. Diesel engines don't need throttles to work,and when one is present,it's only for emergency shut off or smooth shut off,secondary to a primary injection shut off. The injection pump is doing all the work,to start,enrichen,shut off,or adjust timing. You should run it full open mechanical throttle,otherwise you will be way too rich and dump unburnt fuel in the engine oil,and reduce its lubricant properties.

[@TheHomePros6221]

But when I do that it just runs away it’s like the rack is stuck wide open

[@michaelovitch]

@@TheHomePros6221 It's the case looks like. It also would explain why it smokes grey,it's way too rich and advanced for the desired normal rpm ,you are choking the engine why it's injecting full throttle. It should be something around 2500 rpm. Do you have the shop manual ?,it's quite easy to find for free. You need that to know what you are doing precisely,you may have some modifications made by the previous owners,and you will be chasing your tail.

[@nickk7747]

@The Home Pros This injection pump needs that throttle to operate. inside the back of the injection pump there will be a diaphragm that operates the fuel rack inside the pump giving you throttle. That throttle plate is there to create manifold vacuum and ported vacuum which is what moves the diaphragm in the injection pump. there will be 2 hoses that run from the throttle body down to the back of the injection pump. when this diaphragm is torn it will create a high idle. A lot of older Toyota diesels operate this way. Old Toyota landcrusiers with the 3b diesel have it set up like this. That other cable that goes to the injection pump is for the Start, run and shut off.

[@gjamann]

Some diesel's like my international truck have a engine shutdown switch. You just pull the level out or down and starves the engine of air until it shuts off.

I'm guessing the tall lever on the left was a factory throttle/shut off and the one that you are using is a add on. Those are designed to be twisted to add more rpm's to the engine slowly. Does it have a foot throttle too ??

Great buy Darrell! Id love all that dodgy wiring. I get great satisfaction out of ripping out bad wiring 🙂. Sounds like that engine has the same set up as my dexta. The throttle linkage goes to a butterfly on the intake manifold and there is a vacuum line from there to a unit with a diaphragm on the pump that alters the fuelling. If the vacuum line is damaged, or the diaphragm is split, the revs will fluctuate. Theres a toyota forklift down the road that probably has the same engine so I can take a look tomorrow if no one else gives you an answer meanwhile.

We had two of those machines. SDK8 and SDK7 (back in 1989). There is should be an actuator on that fuel shutoff. It has 3 positions. Middle is RUN. Rotate in to START (In that position it dumps heavy fuel to the motor when cranking). Rotate to opposite direction is OFF. We had the actuator burnout, so he replaced it with a stiff cable and worked it manually to START and SHUTOFF, until the new actuator came in. Those Toyotas were good machines. A weak point is where the top half is welded to the bottom half. They will tare them selfs apart there. We welded in some extra metal to hold it together after it ripped apart.

Also check to see if there’s a vacuum line between the intake and the injection pump if so because of your butterfly valve is actually the throttle There may have a torn diaphragm in the pump that moves the rack or the fuel metering system telling the pump how much fuel to deliver If it’s torn it will possibly cause full throttle Fordson major tractors from England use a similar setup

[@TheHomePros6221]

you are completely correct!! diaphram was torn!!

I know it seems like soldering your splices will make them stronger, and in terms of tensile strength it does, but solder makes the joint brittle. In an environment like this with lots of vibration that brittleness will be liable to make the joint fail. I think the best practice for something like this is just a lineman's splice with some glue lined shrink sleeves.

You are correct I didn’t have any though

[@burntpistn]

A lot a diesels don’t shut off with the key . They just have a fuel shutoff cable sometimes that’s built into the throttle itself

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks

[@rick3090]

that glow plug resistor is fairly common on older diesels , Mercedes and other German stuff used them , all it does is indicate when it on by getting red, i have bypassed these and just put a light , on one i used a license plate light assembly .

I think the thing that attaches to the injection pump is the throttle and cut off. Start should be somewhere between cut off and full throttle. The lever to the throttle body is to trim the air. The key switch may be just to control the electrical. Unless you have a electrical cut off valve at the injection pump. Good luck

[@TheHomePros6221]

I think the knob on your left when sitting in the machine is a fuel shut off. All my Kubotas have a electric shut off solenoid. If the solenoid fails you use the manual fuel shut off. Nice little machine. When you get all the bugs out it should be great.

I just fixed a 1978 toyota forklift with the same engine in it. Had the exact same issues. There is supposed to be a linkage from the throttle blade to the injection pump. The injection pump is a nippon Denso pneumatic governor. Message me if you have and questions. The throttle valve and the lever on the Injection pump should move in unison

[@TheHomePros6221]

read your other comment before this one and you are absolutley correct!! the linkage is connected but the edic motor is missing because they took this engine out of a forklift and stuck it in this skidsteer, I’m having trouble going through all these comments so if u can’t get in touch email or text me 7064428214 thanks for your help

[@jimrt1738]

Your using the runaway ,shut off as a throttle ,there should be a electric shut off solenoid (needs power to it to run)but it looks like there’s a problem with the injection pump throttle linkage,great job on the wiring 👍.

[@TheHomePros6221]

thank u very much!! and u are correct this engine was out of a forklift and the cutoff solenoid is missing also the diaphragm in the injection pump was bad

[@richardbenson4048]

I learned the lesson demonstrated here early in my mechanical experience. I had a vehicle I got that the owner said had some problems. So I set about fixing it. Of course I had now idea what I was doing. After countless hours and buying parts I only thought I needed and threats from my parents about the piece of junk at the house I gave up and got a shop to fix it. Cost me a small fortune to undo all the mess I made and fix it right. So now if I am sure and have the right experience I will work on things. If I have any doubts I lets someone who knows what their doing fixit. As for my guess as to how much you paid for this machine I would say "too much".

[@TheHomePros6221]

lol you live u learn 👍

[@mickellamac]

Bloody good machine had one for years contracting

[@TheHomePros6221]

that’s great news

[@jkline805]

I had this same machine but mine was in significantly better shape. The glow plug coil in the dash was an indicator for the glow plugs. When you hold the key to the left, the coil glows to let you know the plugs are hot. The wires on the right joystick went to a turn signal switch.

[@jkline805]

Also, there should be a solenoid that cuts off fuel to the motor when the key is turned off. Someone definitely replaced the solenoid with that knob you pull that cuts off fuel.

It has vacuum controlled injection pump. That knob is shutdown. When intake manifold has lots of vacuum, it pulls injection pump rack to idle. When you open butterfly, vacuum is lost and fuel rack moves to full throttle. There is rubber diaphgram inside pump. Check its vacuum hoses.

you are correct diaphragm is bad

Those are some my type of welds on the back end there while loading it on a trailer :D gonna guess, about 1850$, great job on fixing some of the wiring, i hate that type of work, luckly i havent had much problems wiring side on my bobcat. I dont know much about how to help you, maybe it has a air leak? sucking in too much air somewhere or is that a thing for diesel? must be some throttle problems.

[@nickk7747]

@The Home Pros This injection pump needs that throttle to operate. inside the back of the injection pump there will be a diaphragm that operates the fuel rack inside the pump giving you throttle. That throttle plate is there to create manifold vacuum and ported vacuum which is what moves the diaphragm in the injection pump. there will be 2 hoses that run from the throttle body down to the back of the injection pump. when this diaphragm is torn it will create a high idle. A lot of older Toyota diesels operate this way. Old Toyota landcrusiers with the 3b diesel have it set up like this. That other cable that goes to the injection pump is for the Start, run and shut off.

[@TheHomePros6221]

this is the best info I have got so far!! I’m going to take the diaphram off and check it thank you sooooo much

[@TheHomePros6221]

I took the back off of the injection pump and the diaphram is completely destroyed degraded could this be my issue?

[@nickk7747]

@@TheHomePros6221 yes. That diaphragm has to be in good shape to operate. If its torn it will not pull on the fuel rack inside giving you throttle

[@TheHomePros6221]

thanks nick

[@myronbro]

The knob you are adjusting the idle with is the fuel cut off. Slightly cut off fuel and it lowers the idle. I think you have an issue in your pump, the pump has a governor to regulate the idle. Get that working and the throttle lever will probably work too.

I have a sdk8 I bought for $600, in much much better shape. I’m going with $500. I totally redid my wiring on mine. My injection pump had some sort of external servo that that was activated by the ignition switch that I elemenated. I put a pull cable on the injection pump to kill it. I put at momentary switch for the starter and glow plugs. I’ve had the machine for 12 years and it is very solid. I also changed the bucket connections to universal.
