Timber Harvester 30HT25
« on: January 06, 2009, 08:45:28 PM »
I have a 2005 Timber Harvester 30HT25 with a 37 HP Lambordini Engine. It only has a couple hundred hours on it. I recently went to start it after not using it for awhile and after letting the glow plugs warm up and turning the key, it almost turns over and then dies out. Anybody have any thoughts on what might be the problem? Thanks!

Fuel flow problem? I would change the fuel filter and then prime it....then it should run if. And welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the thoughts. It's great to have access to some people who speak the same language! I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

Another thing to think about is fuel jelling or is it gelling ???. Depending on how cold it is where your located the fuel may require an additive.

I don't know about the specific engine, but if air can get in the fuel line, it will cause the same problems.
