Will IT Run? Junked small Diesel engine.

[@45AMT]

Yeah i couldn't work at a scrap yard. I'd want to bring everything home. Neat little engine!

[@Tore_Lund]

In Europe, wornout Kubotas are worth a fortune in odd spare parts. The small 14A alternator is around 100$ used and manifolds, fuel pump, govenor, radiator etc. also worth a lot. The reason being that a lot of contracting equipment uses these engines, so spareparts are usually nedded in a hurry, so even used they are sold at a premium. I'm guessing this engine, as a usedbut working spare, could be sold for 1000$ over here.

The thing with the handle near the fuel pump is probably the manual priming pump, you unscrew it and work it like a bicycle air pump.

[@fortj3]

Yep. Diesels require a priming pump to eliminate the air between the tank and the injection pump. Sucks when your pump cavitates and your diesel engine blows light blue smoke due to running lean.

[@notajp]

Pretty much all small Diesel engines I’ve ever seen have a primer lever on the fuel pump in case of running the tank dry.

[@jacquesdeschenes6449]

To bleed, pump the hand pump, the bleed screw open, close when clear fuel come. Then crack (1/2 turn) open the injector tube at the injectors and crank until fuel comes out with no bubbles and close. ( only a few cc per stroke will come out) Be sure trottle is NOT at STOP. Yanmar or Kubota engine with original paint on filter.

[@HomerJFong80]

That little tap you unscrew under the pump is the coolant drain for the block.

Since I don't know squat about diesel engines, I found this video fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

That little engine looks almost new! It should be a criminal offence to throw that down like they did. I have seen these in light plants, such as the construction site light plants used for night road work.They have a single phase generator in the 5 or 10 kW range.Probably the stator winding went out or the controls went bad on it and someone was too incompetent to fix it.The throttle lever would have gone to either a plate with a nut, for a manual, pre-set speed; or it could have gone to an electronic governor device, which would make small movements to it to maintain 60 cycle (3600 RPM) operation. The shutoff would have been an on/off solenoid which would have allowed the operator's switches (or the low oil pressure / high jacket water temp switches) to stop the engine when needed. These are highly in demand. The generator sets when complete fetch great money and are an often stolen piece of equipment from rental fleets. You're lucky to have that.The oilfilter painted with Kubota green really makes me think this was a new unit which was replaced under warranty. That engine probably has very, very few hours on it.

[@simov8chevy]

The tap below the lift pump is the coolant drain tap. You figured out the bleed screw is the 10mm nut on the injector pump. Always use the glow from cold, a lot easier on the starter motor. Changed many a burnt out starter on a Kubota due to constant cranking when cold or out of fuel. Depending on the spec of the engine the starter will also take out the stop solenoid, hi rev solenoid and coil commander if fitted when it fails due to cranking too long, especially on a nearly discharged battery. Swap the lift pump for one with a priming lever, can save a lot of grief lol.

Over the years of working on diesel engines, I made a tool that really works. Consisting of a clear vinyl tube with a check valve at one end which also served as a veight on the end. This saved me so much frustration dealing with smelly oily diesel fuel. And I never had to deal with a no prime issue too. Plus this tool was a great gas siphoning jaget to boot. The engine sound great. Bet you the mechanic who took out the engine and scraped it was a poor shoemaker who was practicing to be a mechanic for sure.

If you were in Europe I'd suggest hotrod Aixam :-) Aixam is a French brand known for its microcars that are classified as mopeds (50cc, 45 kmph). Back in the old days those moped cars would've had two-strokes but current ones have tiny single-cylinder diesel engines. Until around 2000 these didn't require any licence in some European countries so they were popular with people who'd lost their licence on DUI charges. Easy to imagine they weren't all that popular among the other road users for that very reason :-) Another group of people drove those because they were scared of failing an actual driving test, not much better drivers than the drunk ones. Presumably some actually drove them because they're much cheaper in upkeep than cars (less fuel, barely any taxes and insurance) but at least in Austria they still got a fairly bad rep.

Great find! You really don't want to run those little Kubota's without coolant in the head for more than a few seconds. They have a spherical combustion chamber above the valves. Due to the compact engine size, the material is very thin there and needs water directly behind it to handle the heat, otherwise they will crack quick. I have the 3 cyl version (20hp) version of that engine in my Kubota tractor and you can see on my channel where I rebuilt this engine and it had had that issue. I ended up replacing the head with a Chinese clone. You should link Chucks KZbin channel as thanks!

The old 1960's Land Rover diesels also cannot be run without coolant as heat and lacquer buildup will destroy the diesel injectors.

Nice Motor!, it would make a really nice motor for a small wooden sail boat or a motor launch!

I see a heck of a hydraulic drive sitting there looking all pretty and waiting to go!

I always get a kick out of you starting engines without exhaust manifolds on!! The Diesel didn't sound odd but that little trail bike sure did.

I loved the flubber, can't believe Honda had that sound hidden behind a muffler.

This is one motor that you can't say "which way is choke? Did you guys notice?" LOL
