9. Engine Trouble Shooting Procedures
The following engine trouble shooting procedures were taken from Perkins Diesel Handbook. Certain ab-
normal conditions which may interfere with satisfactory engine operation, together with methods of deter-
mining the cause of such conditions, are covered in the Trouble Shooting Chart.
The ability of the engine to start and operate properly depends primarily on two things:
-The presence of an adequate supply of air, compressed to a sufficiently high compression pressure.
-The injection of the proper amount of fuel at the right time.
Lack of power, uneven running, excessive vibration, stalling, and hard starting may be caused by low com-
pression, faulty injection in one or more cylinders, or lack of sufficient air. Refer to Perkins Handbook for
trouble shooting and repair procedures.
