Yanmar 3JH5E, 4JH5E, 4JH4-TE, 4JH4-HTE Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar 4JH4-HTE cranks fast but will not fire after a filter change or bad fuel episode. p. 206
Bleed the fuel system completely to remove trapped air. Inspect primary separators and verify fuel supply restriction does not exceed 1000 mmAq (40 in.Aq) as specified on page 206. Drain any contaminated diesel from the tank and prime the lines before attempting another start.
Manual Section: Fuel SystemEngine knocks heavily, idles rough, and produces low power output with visible exhaust color changes. p. 106
Inspect for blown gaskets or worn rings. Remove the cylinder head to check for internal damage. During reassembly, coat the threads with lubricating oil and torque the cylinder head bolts to 88.2 ± 3.0 N-m as specified on page 106. Verify valve clearances before test running.
Manual Section: EngineLoss of power and excessive black smoke from the exhaust under load at rated RPM. p. 255
Test the fuel injectors for proper atomization. If adjusting the pop pressure, remember that adding a 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) shim increases injection pressure by 1.9 MPa (275 psi) according to page 255. Clean the air cleaner and inspect the exhaust system for restrictions.
Manual Section: Fuel SystemInstrument panel shows high temperature and engine overheats when pushed hard under normal propeller loading. p. 262
Pressure test the cooling system to 1.4 bar as detailed on page 262 to locate leaks. Remove and inspect the raw water pump impeller for missing vanes. Verify the thermostat opens fully at 76.5°C, checking page 265 for procedure, and clear any heat exchanger blockages.
Manual Section: Cooling SystemFrequently Asked Questions
