Yanmar YPD-MP Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar YPD-MP2 diesel engine cranks but has no fuel delivery and will not start. p. 60
Inspect the fuel lines and bleed air from the system. Test the feed pump delivery pressure. If pressure drops below the standard 0.4-0.5 MPa, check page 23 to see if the trochoid pump has reached its 10,000 hours replacement interval. Replace the entire assembly if worn.
Manual Section: TroubleshootingBinding accelerator rods or internal governor wear with rough idle and unstable running. p. 44
Remove the governor cover and inspect the tension lever. Measure the tension lever side clearance as shown on page 44. Adjust the clearance to fall between 0.3 to 0.6 mm. Torque the governor lever shaft bolt to 8-10 N-m to prevent future binding.
Manual Section: Disassembly, Reassembly and InspectionUneven fuel delivery or retarded injection timing with heavy black smoke and lack of power. p. 58
Remove the fuel injection nozzles and test them on a pop tester as outlined on page 58. Verify the opening pressure reaches 19.6 - 20.6 MPa across all cylinders. Clean the nozzle plates and replace any tips failing the pressure test before reinstalling into the engine block.
Manual Section: Fuel Injection NozzleDamaged molded rings or worn shaft contact area with heavy fuel leaks from the pump body. p. 39
Disassemble the pump body and inspect the shaft seal contact area. Discard the old seals and replace the hydraulic head packing with a new one as instructed on page 39. Install a new Hardness 90 O-ring to prevent future leaks around the shaft housing.
Manual Section: Disassembly, Reassembly and InspectionFrequently Asked Questions
How do I adjust the Yanmar YPD-MP2 / YPD-MP4 injection pump after reassembly?
After reassembly, the fuel injection pump must be readjusted using a special pump tester, especially if major parts like the plunger assembly, roller guide assembly, or fuel camshaft have been replaced. This process involves adjusting the bottom clearance (fuel injection timing) and other governor settings to ensure proper operation. Refer to page 47 for detailed adjustment procedures.
What are the tightening torques for the main bolts and nuts of the Yanmar MP2 / MP4 fuel injection pump?
The tightening torques for various pump parts vary; for example, the pipe joint bolt (fuel inlet) is 25-29 N-m for MP4 and M12x1.25, while the plug (barrel) is 50-55 N-m for MP4 and 30-35 N-m for MP2. The delivery holder requires 40-45 N-m for MP4 and 28-32 N-m for MP2. A comprehensive list of torques for pump parts can be found on page 63.
How do I troubleshoot low fuel delivery pressure on a Yanmar MP2 / MP4 pump?
Low fuel delivery pressure can be caused by an insufficient fuel supply from the feed pump, which may require repair or replacement of the feed pump. The feed pump failure causes the delivery pressure and volume to drop, potentially shortening the service life of the fuel injection pump. Refer to page 60 for troubleshooting details.
How do I bleed air from a Yanmar MP2 / MP4 injection system?
To bleed air from the fuel injection system, you need to complete the fuel oil piping and then operate the pump tester to purge the line of air. If air sucking is identified as a fault, the recommended remedy is to bleed air from the system. This procedure is part of the preparations for pump adjustment, as detailed on page 48.
What are the replacement specifications for the F.O. feed pump assembly?
The F.O. feed pump assembly should be replaced after 10,000 hours of use as a standard maintenance procedure. This is crucial because a feed pump failure can lead to a drop in delivery pressure and volume, which shortens the service life of the fuel injection pump. Refer to page 23 for more details.
