Kubota D902 Diesel - Bogging Down, Blowing Smoke

[@paulcalif]

I ended up swapping my injector pump for a known good pump and now the engine runs great. I went on to completely dismantle the original pump, and lapped the mating surfaces with diamond lapping compound. That pump works now too. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@PetesGarage]

That's a great idea. These engines are very simple and easy to work on.

[@ryy597]

may i ask why you decide to change your pump?

[@paulcalif]

@@ryy597 I had two engines (in light towers). One ran great, the other one barely ran and smoked alot. I swapped fuel pumps, no difference. Swapped filters, fuel and air, no difference, finally, I swapped the injector pumps and the problem moved from one engine to the other.

[@CSHUNT83]

Nice video. Wish I found this prior to diving into my pump. Similar kubota 3 cylinder in a jacobson turfcat. Hadn't ran in 10+ years, water in the fuel. I pulled the injector pump out. I was difficult to get out because the throttle slider was frozen and it ended up breaking on the gears that rotates the plunger inside. (slightly older design to yours). Called kubota, they tell me that dont sell parts for the pump but they would end up sending it to a diesel shop like D&W. These guys were great. Similar problem with finding parts, I send in some pictures of the pump and have the parts the next day. Got the thing running after a bit of time. Wish there were some videos of pump assembly, trade secrets i believe. Hi from Alden

[@kimmer6]

The injection timing is set by adding or subtracting the shims under the injection pump. This Kubota has fixed timing like most lawnmower gas engines. A lot of automotive diesel injection pumps have variable injection timing. I installed a Kubota 905 diesel in a Geo Metro and it had driveability issues because of the fixed injection timing.

[@PetesGarage]

Interesting, I can see how that would work.

[@redfuel6bt]

I was thinking about doing the same, 3cyl kubota in a geo , did you ever get it right? How is the power? Could a turbo be added? Milage? Thanks would appreciate some info, did you build a adapter?

[@kimmer6]

@@redfuel6bt Power...terrible. Going from 54 hp to 24 hp makes it a flat land vehicle only. I forgot about the car long ago but still have it. It's not a simple swap at all. Nothing fits. I built the adapter, modified a Suzuki Swift flywheel, clutch, starter, and had to make a vacuum pump to work the brakes. The oil pan hangs low and needs mods to provide clearance. The worst part is that the oil filter is exactly in the way of the right axle. A complex adapter needed to be made to switch it over to the front side of the engine. The fixed timing injection pump makes driveability poor. The governor had to be modified to hit 3600 rpm from fixed 1800. When you were ready to shift and hit 3600, the power cut back completely. But it got around 70mpg during the week I tested it. The registration expired and California would not renew it without the original engine. I have a turbo but it still sits on a shelf. I used to build random things like that but nearing age 70, no longer have the interest. I build solar generators for fun now.

Interesting video Pete. I've acquired an engine in the same range to rebuild in part for entertainment and also to do an engine rebuild video for my channel (and have found the workshop manuals online). Just a point of note that the D902 is one out of a series of similar engines, including the one I bought (a D662), D722 and the D902. They seem to also use the same pumps on engines like the Perkins K103-07 3 cylinder diesel (Which I've also bought). Presumably the same issue would apply to those and indeed all similar diesels.

[@dangerdanger7311]

Hi Pete, why didn't you just replace the springs and or new injector instead of purchasing a new pump?

[@PetesGarage]

Diesel engines are considered industrial. I would have rebuilt the pump, but the part numbers are not made available and parts are impossible to find without being a distributor. It's kind of a huge money racket.

[@dangerdanger7311]

Gotcha

[@brucejones2354]

Also the separate pumps have to be calibrated so that they pump the same amount of fuel per stroke, and without a service manual for the PUMP it is very difficult to get it right. Best to have it overhauled by a shop that specializes in fuel pumps, or do as Pete did and just buy a new one.

[@davidblalock9945]

I had this same issue with my pump. I took the pump to my local tractor supply. they swapped it from a rebuild they had on the shelf. $125 bucks after core. I was out the door 15 min, back to mowing in about an hour.

[@jamespalmer9556]

Petes Garage i wouldnt have trusted just replacing the 1 broken spring either, highly possible and probable that the other two springs would go bad too, so i agree you made the right desicion in putting a whole new pump on

Hay Pete I have a Bx 2350 and on my number one injector line I cracked it loose to see if I was getting fuel so I tiended it back and now it won't stop leaking it drips

[@PetesGarage]

You'll have to loosen and reseat the fuel line in the injector

[@Dlong54]

I had a power loss problem I found number 3 cylinder (that's the cylinder if your standing in front of the engine looking toward the rear of the engine), was dead, and also had a loud clatter noise in the rear of the engine. I pulled the injector out of number 3 cylinder and done a compression test which resulted in a real low compression reading. Just for the fun of it I took a piece of bailing wire about a foot long and lowered it into the cylinder until it touched the top of the piston then I reached around to the front of the engine and grabbed the pulley and turned the pulley back and forth and found I had to turn the pulley as much as two inches in either direction to get any response out of the piston. Immediately I knew where the clattering was coming from and the cause of the misfire and low compression. So I pulled the oil pan off and found the rod bearing had spun and the rod itself was bent in the number 3 cylinder. So at this time I'm in the middle of rebuilding it. Just wanted to share my story on how I diagnosed my engine problems.

I was watching your video and thanks for doing it. My G4200 started with a leak on the manifold for the injection pump. I replaced the gasket but still had the same leak plus picked up a leak on one of the injectors. I replaced the two "O" rings on the injector and installed another gasket. I still have the leak, it loks like it might be oil with gas coming out. The motor tries to start a little but never does run plus the leak comes out at the gasket. Is there a chance that I am pressurizing the motor due to an injection pump leak and forcing the oil-gas out? Hopefully you will have the time to assist me.

If an injector is leaking it will pressurize the cylinder and prevent it from starting

[@PetesGarage]

[@MetaView7]

Thank you!

[@PetesGarage]

Welcome!

[@Portispro]

Just wonder,, why did it blow blue smoke? Shouldn't that be black smoke?

[@PetesGarage]

Starving for fuel, lean

Pete's Garge i have V1505 i rebuild the all engine new piston,new bearing,all gasket and new injection pump when start the engine sound like a knocking piston and blue smoke do you think i need replace the injectors?

[@PetesGarage]

Blue smoke is oil. You may have spun a bearing. Something is not right.

Welcome my friend

[@Megahegs]

Can you not just replace the spring?

[@PetesGarage]

You can, I could not find the part number fast enough and he needed the machine for his business

[@alanshaw4655]

@@PetesGarage instead of rehashing the same ole story over and over about the owner needing it back fast ?, how about just telling everyone here what the damn part number is for the spring ?, or..is this something you are keeping to yourself to bring in bizz ?. just tell us what the part number is for the spring plz !.

On a Kubota diesel -3 cylinder motor-I was told a new head gasket was put on recently. HOwever, when I put water in the radiator, oil came out the top of the motor-from the oil fill plug. Can you tell me what is wrong and how to fix it? Please and thank you so much. Dave

[@PetesGarage]

I have no idea, maybe they put in the wrong gasket or upside down

[@rickc2222]

I have the D905 (similar) in a Vermeer S600TX mini skid steer - manual says oil change with filter is 5.1L. dipstick shows waaaayyyy over full. removed about 1.5l and its just above the full mark - is the shallow oil pan common on these? Pretty sure that mine has a shallow oil pan and Vermeer forgot to change it in their manuals. any damage likely from being run overfull? it ran a long time as previous oil change shows it had way too much in it as well.

[@PetesGarage]

If it didn't cause a leak there is no damage.

I need your expertise on a 4010 diesle Kawasaki mule,runs for 5 minits starts to smoke and runs out of power,and always restarts after 20 minits,help!

[@PetesGarage]

Check the fuel supply first. Try running it right out of a separate can of fuel to eliminate the entire fuel supply system.

[@Dean-f5g]

I can’t get the injector pump out that lever that runs the slot, will not move to remove the injector pump. any idea

[@PetesGarage]

That's probably the problem. Keep working it to break it free

[@kobbystone3021]

Hi, Pete, why didn't you just replace the springs and or new injector instead of purchasing a new pump, I've a the same but four cylinder, and same problem but the smoke is black.

[@PetesGarage]

I could not find the springs anywhere and nobody would give me a part number

[@hawssie1]

If you want to use this long term its way better to replace the pump as if one spring had broke its a sign the rest is on its way, The injection pump is a very important part on a diesel engine like this, its much more so then on a gas engine. It is like the fuel pump ,carb(along with the injector) and the distributor on a gas engine, as it controls throttle fuel delivery and combustion timing. And they are machined to very high tolerances, with high pressures. These small inline units aren't nearly as complicated as rotary ones but their still very touchy and don't lend themselves to tampering and wrenching.

@@hawssie1 Thanks Nick. I replaced the pump on this one.
