b250 diesel

Anonymous-0 · Aug 13, 2009

I have a mint B250, when running, it runs like a top, no blue,white or black smoke. Fuel delivery pressure goes up to 5-6psifrom the lift pump, all out ports of the injector pump have pressure. But it is hard to start cold or warm. I have to glow plug it, crank, crank, glow plug etc. I tried advancing, deadvancing the injector pump. not much difference.
i am aware they are hard to start..but hoping to improve it a bit. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I have a B250 that I would say starts easily. It didn't when I bought it. It had sat in a shed for 8 years and would only start with ether. I believe the injectors were dirty and slobering fuel into the cylinder rather than spray misting it in. After using a fuel additive that cleaned injectors lubed the pump and removed moisture the tractor began to start more easily, the more fuel I put through the better it started. It appears the injectors were becoming cleaner with every tankful of doctored fuel. I use the glow plugs for a few seconds and it fires right up. Another consideration is the starter and electrics. If the starter is worn it may be drawing more power and not turning the engine over fast enough for an efficient start. The starter may just need new bushings and brushes.Try a fuel injector cleaner for diesels and see what results you get..then I'd check out the starter.I use my B250 a great deal, I rake hay,clean out the barn(loader mounted), use it on the bale elevator..just a very efficient tractor with low fuel consumption compared to my other tractors
