Reasons and solution of generator

The generator is difficult to start. There are dozens of reasons for generator start failure. The following will introducethe reasons that cause the generator to be unable to start or difficult to start.

White smoke from the exhaust pipe when starting

1. Analysis of causes
   • Problems with the ventilation system,wrong valve clearance, valve seal deterioration, the air filter is seriously blocked, forget to pull the decompression handle back.
   • Problems with oil supply system, poor diesel quality, water in diesel tank; air in oil road, low pressure oil road blocked, inlet throttle filter blocked, too dirty filter element, tank cover vent blocked, resulting in insufficient oil supply; oil supply time is early or too late.
   • Problems with engine body: cylinder head crack, cylinder pad is installed or burned at the end, causing water directly into the cylinder, such as cylinder, piston and piston ring gap, serious wear or stuck,  engine starting device, such as low starting speed,low temperature or low engine temperature ,especially in winter.
2. Find and troubleshoot
   • Generally, first check whether there is air or blockage in the low-pressure oil circuit, check the fuel delivery pump, and then check the high-pressure oil circuit and fuel injection pump. If there is no problem with the above inspection results, then check the fuel injector, ventilation system, crank and connecting rod mechanism, and engine block in turn. Wait.
     • If it is in winter or the starting temperature is particularly low, you can try to heat water into the water tank, or drain the oil from the oil pan, and then pour it back after heating.
     • If it is difficult to start. First, check whether the air filter, fuel filter, and diesel filter are too dirty, and then check the matching clearances, such as the clearances of cylinders, pistons and piston rings, and valve clearances, and then check the fuel injectors and fuel injection pumps

Black smoke rises from the exhaust pipe when startup

When the fuel and air mixture burns incompletely and the diesel fuel in the mixture is too rich, the unburned mixture is discharged as black smoke.

1. Analysis of causes
   • Problems with the ventilation system: the air filter is blocked, which reduces the air entering the cylinder, and the mixed gas is thick; the valve gap is incorrect, resulting in insufficient intake and unclean exhaust,insufficient spring force of the valve spring or spring break, causing the valve to lea,There is carbon deposit and ablation between the valve and the valve seat, causing the valve to leak.
   • Problems with the fuel supply system: one or more fuel injectors have serious carbon deposits, and the needle valves of the fuel injectors are stuck, resulting in oil dripping or poor atomization quality,insufficient fuel injection pressure, poor diesel atomization quality, and fuel supply ahead of schedule The angle is wrong,the fuel injection pump sprays too much, the quality of diesel is not good.
   • The crank connecting rod mechanism has problems: if the clearance between the cylinder, the piston and the piston ring is too large or the wear is serious, the cylinder pressure is insufficient, and the combustion is incomplete.
2. Find and troubleshoot
   • The fault can be solved by referring to the above method of finding and excluding white smoke.Special attention should be paid to the cylinder-by-cylinder inspection method.

Smokeless exhaust pipe when starting

Diesel does not enter the cylinder, and only air is discharged from the exhaust pipe without smoke.

1. Analysis of causes
   • Problems with the oil supply system: the oil road is blocked, the oil transmission pump is not working normally, and the oil injection pump is not working normally.
2. Find and troubleshoot
   • If the diesel engine start speed is normal but not fire, or the exhaust pipe is smoke-free, it is a failure of the engine oil supply system.Generally, first check whether the oil road is blocked, check the specific method of the oil road blockage, see the above.
   • If there is occasional intermittent smoke coming out when starting, it means that some cylinders have diesel oil in, and some do not. In this case, the “cut-off method” can be used, that is, to stop the fuel supply of each cylinder and find out that it is not working. Of the cylinder.
