I have an M1097R1 with a NA 6.5l that starts easily then stalls after about 2 minutes and will restart in about 1 hour with same result. It will NOT immediately restart.
It has heavy fuel smelling white smoke as it idles. Here’s what’s been done so far. I would appreciate serious recommendations for remedy.
1. New glow plugs
2. New injectors
3. Fuel tank removed, cleaned and reinstalled
4. Fresh fuel.
5. Fuel line check valves removed, cleaned, checked for operation and reinstalled in correct direction.
6. Fuel lines removed, cleaned, with high pressure air and reinstalled.
7. New nartron smart start control box.
8. Motor has no blow by at oil filler tube when running.
9. Batteries show full charge.
10. Alternator checked and is charging properly.
11. Injection pump fuel bowl is clean and shows no corrosion, tarnish or discoloration when removed top cap.
12. Fuel pump output meets specs pre filter and post filter.
13. Fuel solenoid operates correctly in injection pump.
14. Cold start solenoid checks out correctly according to technical manual.
15. White, fuel-smelling smoke, fills the area when motor is running.
16. Fuel lines cleared of air.
17. Removing fuel tank cap makes no change.
18. Idles smoothly until it dies
19. Engine will rev while it’s running.
20. solenoid will still operate after engine stalls.
21. Starter will still turn engine, at proper speed, after engine stalls.
22. Glow plugs are still good.
23. Same result with different control box.
I’m puzzled right now and kinda stuck.
Thanks for reading and offering any useful ideas.
