Hello everyone...
This harvest the engine on the combine has developed a fault...
The engine is a Ford 6 Cylinder (what is known as a 'D' Series engine?) 2715E N/A unit.
Starts as it should, all the power it should have, performs faultlessly other than...
Every now and again, when it's running flat out, it will die down noticably and suddenly, from 2200 to about 1700, for a few seconds, as if you were trying to seriously overload it, it then recovers.
Fuel filters I thought, so I changed them, as well as empty the bit of crud out of the bottom of the glass bowl, fuel filters were not visibly dirty, or noticably heavier, but the glass bowl had a bit of gunk in it...
It has made no difference... it will do it three times an hour, then nothing all afternoon.
For the first time today, she actually stopped, as if you had pulled the stopper. Checked the job over, diesel came flying out of the filter bleeder and the chamber on the top of the injection pump (inline). Cracked open the injectors, cranked until Diesel came though, away she went. Still died down briefly in work again though...
No visible leaks...
It feels like a weak injector or some crap in the filters... but not sure... did not investigate too much, wanted to get finished!! That's tomorrow's job...
Suggestions, anyone...
