Fixed a starting issue with a deutz motor today using a leaf blower
Had a motor sent in that was a basket case. Replaced about $3000 worth of missing parts on the motor. Reassembled the exhaust. Changed the oil. Replaced a missing filter base for the fuel and oil filters. Only thing left to do was getting it running.
Bled the fuel system about 20 times. It wanted to fire, but just wouldn't start
finally narrowed it down to the exhaust not breathing. Mind you, the motor sat partially disassembled out side for over a year.
Finally narrowed it down to the exhaust not breathing. Disconnected the intake. Hit it with a leaf blower for a couple minutes, while another person cranked the motor over. Hooked the fuel solenoid back up, and it fired right off. Hooked the intake back up to the turbo and fired the motor up a second time. Proceeded to get covered in water, exhaust crud and oil
It had apparently been wet stacked and parked.
