dodgy starting f75

Hi All, I have an F75 in a 1992 fourtrak (rocky) and it has develped a confusing problem. Shortly after changing the fuel filter it has started to run for about 2 secs and then stop on startup if you catch my drift. It seems as if there is air in the fuel line but there is good pressure all thorugh ...

I will flush profusely.

Is there anyway I can test the water pump so I positively know that I need a new one - rather than it simply being 'by elimination'?

Thanks for all your input

well, the fan is fine. And the engine goes into the red if I keep going for long enough. It hasn't blown up yet - but I am worried that it is going to. As I say, this happens on a hot day (~30 deg C) going at only 3lbs boost - thats about 85Km/h..... Could it be something to do with the water pump ...

overheating f75

Hello all,

I have an f75 2.8td (intercooled) which is overheating on a hot day when I am going fast (above 3lbs/ square inch turbo boost). It is fine at idle or on cold days. I have replaced the rad, thermostat but the problem remains.

Any idea what I should do next?

Yours

You're right! I have a manual switching system for the glow plugs and without realising the starting system I had, many years ago, burnt out a set of the standard plugs by using them on 12V when the engine was running. (they should fire up on 12v but as soon as the engine was running be at 7V ...

no - it is all running fine and has been for the last ten years! Its only on start up, the glow plugs are fine and when it is at idle after two minutes of running everything is just fine and dandy. It is to do with the temperature inside the cylinders because when the engine does work (in the ...

Cold Start system???

Hello folks, I have an F75td which is in ahem another vehicle. I put it in and have always noticed that it white smokes ALOT on start up but calms down after a minute or two. Now looking through the workshop manual I see some reference to a 'cold start system' which (I think) alters the injection ...

hello everybody

I have an F75 2.8 intercooled TD fourtrack (rocky) and I would like to attach a rev counter. Does anybody know how it connects to the injector pump?

Thanks
