WELL I FINNALY GOT AROUND TO STARTING THE WD 45 DIESEL I BOUGHT A COUPLE 3 WEEKS AGO. HAD TO PULL IT TO GET IT STARTED . IT WOULDN'T START WITH STARTER . PULLED IT ABOUT 100 FEET & IT STARTED TO FIRE , ANOTHER 50 & IT WAS RUNNING. IT HADN'T RUN FOR 7 YEARS. SEEMS TO ME IT HAS A MISS IN IT, BUT WHEN I GOT IT WARMED UP IT DIDN'T SEEM TO SMOKE ANY THOUGH. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE DIESELS BUT IT RUNS & NO MOISTURE IN CRANKCASE SO THATS A PLUS. FOUND ONE CRACKED FITTING ON RETURN LINE LEAKING FUEL. PLAN TO DRAIN FUEL & PUT NEW FILTERS & SEE HOW SHE RUNS. IT'S BURNING CLEAN IN THE PIC.MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN TELL ME WHAT TO CHECK FOR THE MISS.

| crack each injector line at the head while running till you find what cylinder is missing then find out why. |

| I had a 45 diesel once and it sounded like it had a miss. Guy told me the exhaust from #6 cylinder had farther to travel than the exhaust from #1 which is true but that wasn't the problem. When I would apply the brakes and make the engine work a little it sounded better. Turns out the head gasket had started firing across between two cylinders so I replaced the head gasket and then it sounded good. I was lead to believe the head gasket was a problem with the Buda engines but I never had any more trouble with it. |

| Sounds like you might have a injector sticking , Ive had several 45'Ds and its a common problem with them if they sit for a while . You may have to pull injectors and get your local diesel shop to check them, most of time I just tear them down and take them apart and renew the nozzel and tip and set pressure with my nozzel rater and 99% of the time they run like new agian . If you need any help with it send me a PM . |
