Depending on where you live, your John Deere Dealer may be one of the best resources. Otherwise, try Googling: "Mechanics", "Diesel Mechanics", or "Marine Mechanics". Sincerely, Ben @MER Mario,

The engine is mated to a Yanmar 4JH4E engine. Vessel is 2007. Hours are only 51. The attached analysis shows high iron and chrome. The vessel is so lightly used I am surprised by this. No evidence of striking a submerged object or of water/oil intermix. I know we need to change and resample after enough hours are accumulated. However, this is a buy--sell with an out of state buyer. Therefore, accumulating sufficient hours to re-sample is a bit problematic. I was just inquiring as to the service history of this transmission and wondered if there was any product specific problem?

However, the 6125 unit is much larger than you need. If you will call me I will find something that fits your cooling system better. Thankyou, Ben 206-286-1817 Hi Andy,

We would then put the injectors on the "pop stand" and watch the stream of fuel for good atomization. We would also observe the "pop" pressure and monitor the rate of pressure leak-down. Engines equipped with Common Rail fuel systems have an electronic control system (computer) that monitors engine operation. When a problem occurs with a Common Rail engine, the computer generates a touble code and alerts the operator with a warning light. If the problem is severe, the computer also reduces power. Very few repair shops now have the equipment to test and rebuild the common rail injector, because the pressure is often over 20,000 psi. When the technician decides to change injectors, they are now replaced with new ones, or units that have been reconditioned at the factory. So, now it is the injector rebuilder that monitors all injection conditions when the testing is done. Meanwhile there is much more electrical troubleshooting done by diesel engine technicians than ever before. Thankyou for commenting and please keep in touch. Sincerely, Ben @ MER Hello Tan,

Then, if you find water in the primary fuel filter, you have found a reason that an injector would fail. The actual testing of electronically controlled injectors is done through the ECU (computer that controls the engine), and it will take a call to your local engine dealer to get a technician to hook up the software that does such tests. For more on this, please contact our Service Manager, Herb Knight: herb@merequipment.com, he can also be reached at 206-286-1817. Thankyou, Ben John,
