I'm working on a mid 90s Dynapac walk behind double drum roller. Has a hatz e780 single cyl diesel.
The engine start easy with no smoke, but will not hold an idle, and has no throttle response what so ever. Will slowly rev up and down and eventually die. With no smoke.
I suspect a rod knock but am not familiar with this machine so I'm not sure how knocky they are supposed to be..
Would a loose rod cause this strange throttle control or should I be digging into the fuel system? The filters are clean and the fuel is new.
Any ideas?
Also who's good for parts?
Thanks for any help!
