Yanmar 2TNV70, 3TNV70, 3TNV76 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar 3TNV70 turns over slowly in cold weather and exhibits a hard starting or no-start condition. p. 112
Test the starter motor electrical draw. Verify the no-load terminal voltage and current are 11.5V/90A or less as specified on page 112. Inspect the overrunning clutch system for wear. Measure the loaded torque to ensure it reaches 8.24 Nm. Replace the starter assembly if values fall out of range.
Manual Section: 8. the Specifications of a Starting Motor and the CharacteristicsDiesel engine runs rough under load, surges erratically at idle, and shuts off unexpectedly. p. 48
Check the fuel injection nozzle pressure using a pop tester. Adjust the pressure to the standard 11.8~12.8 MPa range detailed on page 48. Inspect the fuel filter element and replace it if it exceeds the 500-hour service interval. Bleed all air from the fuel lines before restarting.
Manual Section: 2. Inspection and AdjustmentExhaust emits excessive black smoke and engine shows inability to reach rated speed under load. p. 128
Measure the intake and exhaust valve head gap with a feeler gauge. Adjust the clearance to 0.15~0.25 mm following the service standards on page 128. Inspect the air cleaner element for severe restriction. Replace the filter element if the equipment has surpassed the 250-hour maintenance interval.
Manual Section: 11. Service StandardsCoolant temperature runs high during operation accompanied by an unexplained fluid level drop and overheating. p. 55
Drain the cooling system and remove the thermostat. Suspend the unit in heated water and verify the valve opening temperature is 69.5~72.5 deg C as outlined on page 55. Check the cooling water pump bearing for abnormal noise or play. Replace the entire pump assembly if leakage is present.
Manual Section: 2. Inspection and AdjustmentFrequently Asked Questions
What is the torque specification for the cylinder head bolts on a YANMAR TNV Series engine?
The cylinder head bolts should be tightened in two steps. The first step requires a torque of 26.0~30.0 Nm (2.7~3.1 kgf·m), and the second step requires 53.9~57.9 Nm (5.5~5.9 kgf·m). This procedure is detailed in section 4.2.4 Servicing points, Point 8.
How do I bleed the fuel system on a YANMAR TNV engine?
To bleed the fuel system, first check the fuel oil level and refuel if insufficient. Then, open the fuel cocks of the water separator and fuel filter, and loosen the air bleeding bolt on the water separator by 2-3 turns. Once fuel flows out clear without bubbles, tighten the bolt and feed fuel using the priming pump or electro-magnetic fuel feed pump for 10-15 seconds.
What are the standard valve clearance specifications for a YANMAR TNV Series engine?
The standard valve clearance should be between 0.15 mm and 0.25 mm. This adjustment is necessary to maintain proper contact of the valves and seats and should be performed while the engine is cold.
What is the effective lubricating oil capacity for the oil pan of a 2TNV70 engine?
The effective lubricating oil capacity for the oil pan of a 2TNV70 engine (VM class) is 0.7 liters. The total volume is 1.7 liters. This capacity may vary depending on the machine unit the engine is installed on.
