    Need troubleshooting help Takeuchi TL140 Isuzu 4JG1T

    Hey Tool King, I could totally use manuals for the machine if you still have them. I had some in my old computer but the computer is no more. I am pulling the injector pump and could use some guidance. Thanks if you get this and thanks if you don't Kast302e@gmail.com

    Takeuchi TL140 Turns over but won't fire up

    I cant bring the machine to you but I can send you the pump if it rebuild-able. I pulled the fuel filter and dumped the contents into a glass jar. It was very clean but it was half water. That cant be good! I strapped a jar under the connection to the filter and turned the key so the lift pump...

    right right right! the fuel solenoid! I lost my manuals in my dead computer. Can you tell me where it is located? And how do I test? I will go see what the fuel into the injector pump looks like. Thank you A million times. Did you ask for a picture or the lift pump?

    Takeuchi TL140 Turns over but won't fire up

    "If u don’t get fuel outta the steel lines AT THE INJECTORS.. u have pump problems." I am getting fuel from 3 out of 4. The one closest to the back of the machine is not getting fuel. I took off the line and blew it out. It seemed clear enough. There is not a consistent flow from the 3 that...

    Takeuchi TL140 Turns over but won't fire up

    I tried to keep this post specific but it seems I am off in the weeds. Are the glow plugs a good place to begin? It was running ok and now it won't start.

    Takeuchi TL140 Turns over but won't fire up

    GLOW PLUGS! This machine gave me hell with fuel clogs and I have done a lot of work on fuel supply. I do regular maintenance on keeping the lines clear. I have that inline NAPA pre filter you suggested. That has been consistently been improving as far as debris collected. But yes, the fuel tank...

    Takeuchi TL140 Turns over but won't fire up

    First off, Apologies if this is already been answered. I have searched the threads for a week or 2 and have no resolve. I started it up and moved it to where I needed to dig. I shut it down to move some things out of my way and 1/2 hour later it won't start. 2 weeks later it won't start. It...

    Takeuchi TL130 Wireing Diagram

    Do you think this could cause it not to fire up? It cranks and sounds like it wants to fire up, smoke from the chimney, but wont fire. Nothing strange about the gauge lights. Nothing different, just wont fire. And it wasn't intermittent. It just had a sudden change of heart. I have just removed...

    Takeuchi TL140 Losing power going downhill

    alrighty then... This is a John Deere fuel filter. this fitting was not clogged when I removed it, that doesn't mean it isn't the source of the problem though. I also have a new lift pump but I want to see how this helps before I install it. Thanks again guys.
