Title: 353 won't start
Post by: graves logging on March 17, 2012, 03:00:10 PM
I just droped in a new engine today in my skidder. I can get it to start. It kicks and kicks black smoke out of the muffler like its getting its fuel. Not sure what I did wrong.

When i Rebuild my 4045T Deere Motor I had the same problem.. And if i gave it enough Ether I could get it to stay running, but smoked like a freight train.. I had to pull my Injectors and Have them Reset by an injector shop.. Reinstalled and it fired right up and ran smooth

I assume that you meant "can't" get it to start. ??

Or does it start and run while pouring out black smoke?

Are you sure the kill switch on the air intake side is not engaged , just a thought.

Sounds like the emergency kill switch is shut, re-set it.

+1 for Lumberjack48
There is a spring loaded flap that shuts off the air to the blower if it was accidently tripped the engine will not start and will blow black smoke (its getting fuel but no air).

if it ran ok before you put it in. you must have asked. didnt have the valve cover off did you? do anything to the gov? check all fuel lines blow back into the tank to make sure. fill the fuel filters with the filters on take the plug put on the filter base fill it till it runs over bolth of them. you still may have to blow air into the tank. they use a gear pump it has to have fuel in it to pump. also make sure the restriction fitting is in the head. its the return line back to tank. without that fitting it return most of the fuel back to tank.

Your lucky,if those injectors were frozen in the full fuel position,you would have had a run away,the rack and governor couldn't over power the frozen injectors and would run wide open till it blew or floated the valves. It is always wise to periodicaly check your emergency shut off cable and flap to make sure its not frozen.

By the way I did not know how wore out my 353 was. I thought it worked good til it blew up. The power this rebuild has is unreal
