    1998 Case 580 SL Extendahoe - Engine just stopped running

    Hello all. Well I finally got the machine running again. There must have been some water in the fuel, and it froze. I could not get the water drain on the large fuel filter to expel any fuel. I bought a small heater and heated the filter. I was then able to get some fuel and water to drip out of...

    1998 Case 580 SL Extendahoe - Engine just stopped running

    I can move the pedal towards the idle position a bit, so I don't think the linkage is stuck. It seems pretty loose going back and forth the little bit I can move it. I can push the pedal to 100% open and the throttle goes to 100%, but then stops back at the 80% position. It was -14C here...

    1998 Case 580 SL Extendahoe - Engine just stopped running

    Here you go. As can be seen, I can rotate the throttle counterclockwise to full open, but it returns only to about 80% open

    1998 Case 580 SL Extendahoe - Engine just stopped running

    Was cleaning the snow on my driveway. The machine had been running for about 15 minutes I got to a point where I stopped and dropped the bucket to do a reverse scrape, and just before I put it into reverse the engine quit. I know my tank is 3/4 full. I noticed that the gas pedal did not return...

    1998 series 1 580SL will not start anymore

    Hi, What type of a jig do I need for the tip? Is it something I can purchase or is it something I have to make? I also purchased a 1000 psi compression test kit. I plan to test the injector by spraying into a coke bottle. The engine turns over at the same speed while cranking. Thanks TT

    I purchased an injector puller (slide hammer style) to pull one out when it gets here. I'll hook it up to a line and see what (if anything) comes out, and the spray pattern. Hopefully they are just gummed up and can be cleaned.

    Also do you know what the timing value is for this particular pump, when using the dial indicator ? Thanks, TT

    1998 series 1 580SL will not start anymore

    Hi, I haven't remove an injector yet. The weather around here is becoming nasty. It's cold and raining a lot, and I have to work outside. I don't have a garage. I have attached a breakdown pic of my Bosch Pump. Which 2 steel lines are you talking about ? Also, the pump is not leaking.

    1998 series 1 580SL will not start anymore

    Another thing. I was researching the Bosch VE pump and found out that there is a cold start timing advance function built into the pump. Is it common for this to fail at some time or is it bullet proof. I live in Easter Canada and we are down to the +1 Deg C temperatures these days.

    Well, I can confirm that all the lines are blead. I have fuel going to the injectors. the lift pump is providing 5 psi at the main filter outlet. The machine will almost start with a bit of ether sprayed into the filter housing, with the filter removed, so I guess the compression is OK. Is...

    1998 series 1 580SL will not start anymore

    When I connected the pressure gauge to the lift pump outlet I had 5 psi, but when I connected the gauge to the outlet port of the filter at the banjo connection, I had 0 psi. That is why I think the main fuel filter is plugged. I will replace the filter tomorrow and check again. As far as the...

    I believe the fuel is clean. MY filter has a water separator on it, I opened the valve to drain any water. (I just received my new filter which I will be installing shortly. I tested for pressure at the filter output port and had 0 PSI. I will test for pressure once the new filter is installed...

    1998 series 1 580SL will not start anymore

    When I had the fuel outlet connection of the lift pump disconnected, I cranked the engine and it pumped fuel like Niagara falls. With the line reconnected, I then took a pressure reading at the small 10 mm bolt at the filter outlet banjo bolt and the reading was zero psi. Once I install the new...

    I was only getting 5 psi with the engine cranking over, but not running. The pressure was measured at the pump outlet before the main filter.

    1998 series 1 580SL will not start anymore

    So I received my fuel pressure test kit today. I hooked it up to the lift pump outlet and measured only 5 psi while cranking it over with the fuel shut-off valve disconnected. Not sure what the normal lift pump pressure is supposed to be, but I expect it to be at least 20 psi or greater. I...

    Is there much difference between 1998 580sl series 1 and series 2

    I'm thinking of purchasing a service manual for my series 1, but I can only seem to find series 2 manuals. Will a series 2 cover most of the series 1 info and then some ? Also. What is the major difference between the 2 machines ? Thanks, TT

    Hi. I turned the key to ON and disconnected the power plug to the solenoid and touched the contact ON and OFF repeatedly. I could hear the solenoid operating open and close. If my lift pump pressures and filter are ok. I will remove the solenoid and test it on the bench. Thanks for the replies...

    It is the Bosh VE pump. I purchased a fuel pressure test kit from Amazon. I should have it Saturday. I will check the pressure at the lift pump output. If it is satisfactory. I will check the pressure after the fuel filter. I replaced the lift pump about 6 years ago. So I suspect that might be...

    Hi, I have had this backhoe for about 10 years. It ran perfectly and started easily without any trouble. I ran it the other day and parked it.( machine ran well). I went to start it the next day. and all it would was just turn over. but would not start. I tried quick start and it would run on...
