Hello all,
I was wondering if I could get some advise from our seasoned owners?
I have recently purchased a M929 dump truck with the Cummins NHC 250. (2320-01-047-8756) from the GL website.
The truck was running fine when listed.
When I attempted to start it up for the first time (still on base), it would turn over but would not fire up. I cranked it over for several minutes but it would not fire.
I opened the petcock and pumped the fuel primer pump. Fuel was good.
Then I discovered that the "emergency engine stop" had been pulled the entire time. Eerrrhhh! Total newbie mistake![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Once the engine stop was pushed back in, it fired up instantly. Unfortunately, it sounds like it is only running on two cylinders. It stays running barely and will not accelerate at all.
My question is:
1) Do you think the reason it will not run is due to the fact that I attempted to start the engine with the "emergency engine stop engaged"?
2) What was the likely effect of cranking the engine over with the "emergency engine stop engaged"? (air in the system?)
3) What is the procedure for correcting the issue?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Sincerely,
Ted
