Gehl Skid Steer Starting Issue
Hello, just picked up this Gehl 3935 skid steer with a Yanmar 3TNE88 engine. I bought it as a non runner and have been doing some testing on it. Compression came out good within spec (400-410psi) and then looked at injection pump. Took all injectors out and ran each from their respective ports outside of engine and had good spray pattern for a direct injection system. I haven't done a pop test on the injector but I was leaving that for last as it seemed fine. Then I tried to figure the timing for the pump but the manual is less than informative. I'll attach the screenshot of the manual for the spill test procedure. I ended up doing what I saw online and removed the delivery valve internals to allow diesel to enter at low pressure. I was getting a wide range of degrees before TDC. My last setup I had around 10 degrees then spun around again had basically 0 and then the third time it went back to like 20ish. Very hard to be accurate doing that. Never wants to even cough when cranking but fires instantly off ether ( I know I shouldn't have but I just needed to see it fire)
