Hello
I acquired a 2006 Jinma 354 with about 260 hours about a year ago. It has the TY395 E3 engine.
I have been working through it's issues. One that was really bothering me was no throttle response when first started. I always starts very easily but would not throttle up at all initially. Eventually it would improve but the governor really would not pick up a load at low throttle settings even when warm.
I assumed it was fuel delivery or a FI pump problem and had checked out the fuel sediment bowel, filters and lines with no success. Tonight I ran across a post on another forum. It described my problem perfectly.
http://chinesetractor.proboard…../thread/75
The poster on the other form mentions that this problem is only known to occur
on the TY395 E3 engine with the 3PL104 injector pump so it probably only effects a few tractors.
It turns out that there is a simple adjustment on the injection pump that can solve this performance issue. This picture was borrowed from the other site. The adjustment is hidden under a screw on cap/ cover near the inj pump dip stick. Remove this cover with a 24mm wrench then loosen the lock nut and back out the adjuster screw just enough to fix your throttle response.
You do not need to remove the black threaded component from the pump just the cover.
The jamb nut and adjusting screw are on the right end of the black threaded assembly in the picture.
Snug up the jamb nut and reinstall the cover.
Wow what an improvement! 1/2 an hour of rounding up the tools making the adjustment and cleaning back up.
Runs like a champ now and I am not fretting over my injection pump.
I am posting this here in hopes that it will help another owner as this one really had me confused / worried.

Hello again,
We had pretty good weather in the northwest this weekend so I had a chance to put a couple of hours on the 354 with the new setting on the pump.
It is a much nicer running machine. Before the pump adjustment the engine had very little torque below 1500 rpms and the governor was very insensitive allowing the engine to bog down if the load increased.
Now it is responsive right off of idle and pulls great even at 1200. I really prefer using lower revs when filling the FEL bucked with gravel etc as I can feel the load on the machine and react to minimize strain.
So if you have a machine with the TY395E engine that feels as if it's a lean running gas engine at low revs instead of a torquey diesel you might want to look into this adjustment.
Cheers
jim

Bob,
That is a great question!
I would say that I am not a mechanical diesel fuel injection pump expert.
I have used and worked with small diesel engines most of my life and have a good understanding of proper functioning. Mechanical injection systems are fundamentally very simple devices but are built with precision tight clearance parts. This is why we need to be meticulous with keeping the fuel clean and free of water. The fuel wets most of the parts in the pump and they need to be protected from water as it will cause corrosion and grit or particulate matter because it will cause wear.
My performance issue as caused due to the fuel rack movement being over constrained but the spring loaded pin that I adjusted. Fueling is more aggressive at lower RPMs. I do not believe that this will cause any reliability or safety issues with the engine. I am sure that the injection pump manufacturer has a sophisticated test rig that they use to set the calibration of the pump. It is unlikely that I have perfectly reproduced the correct factory setting. But I sure like how my tractor runs.
Have a great day

Bob,
I forgot to put this at the top of my previous post. It is my motto and the way I live.
“I Rarely Learn anything When I know What I am Doing”
In today's world we are constantly bombarded with the message that we must consult an “expert” and leave the thinking to someone else.
I just am not wired that way.
I purchase my Jinma in June 0f 2013 as a non runner that the owner had given up on. I winched it on to my flatbed to haul it home and I drove it off of the trailer under its own power. Since I have had it here is a list of some of the things that I have done to it.
Disassemble the engine (in frame) due to massive blue smoke, oil consumption and oil leaks.
Found: Top 2 rings in wrong order and upside down in all 3 cylinders.
Put in new pistons, sleeves and rings. (sleeves and pistons were overkill rings would have done it)
New Con rod bearings
Serviced cylinder head, valves had severe recession so they had to be faced, stem length readjusted and springs shimmed.
Disassembled front axle and replaced broken LH drive axle.
Replaced leaky factory sediment bowel / fuel outlet / shutoff assembly and primary low pressure fuel lines.
Aux relay for glow plugs
Aux relay for starter
Modified and rebuilt the leaking water pump so that I can use off the shelf bearings and seals.
Installed a modified 180 degree Toyota LC thermostat that actually controls the engine temp (always ran cold before due to water bypassing thermostat)
Remove mechanical fan and installed electrics as most of my use is under an hour at a time and I want my engine to run nice and warm. (This minimizes cylinder and ring wear as well as emissions)
Installed a Delco 10SI alternator (not a one wire) I like to use the remote sense line to insure that the batter voltage is properly controlled. The 63 amp Delco supports the electrical demand of the E fans.
Finally, Tweak the FI pump.
All of this work was completed in my shop by myself with liberal help from searching for tidbits on these boards.
At this point I have a great tractor, with a total of about $4K invested that I am becoming pretty familiar with and it currently does not leak oil! We all know that with these tractors that is a temporary situation.

That's great! You learn by doing, and have a keen mechanical sense. Good that you could discern that the piston rings were installed wrong. Not sure what you meant by modifying the coolant pump to use “off the shelf bearings and seals”- all bearings and seals come “off the shelf,” they are either SAE or metric, and some may even come off of Tommy's shelf.
You say “I want my engine to run nice and warm. (This minimizes cylinder and ring wear as well as emissions).” What you meant was “I wanted thermal efficiency.” Here is my point. Optimal operating temperature (currently) is around 190°F with a ΔT of about 10°F. This helps maintain thermal equilibrium (knowing that different metals expand at different rates, and when expansion stabilizes, proper clearances are maintained) and lets the lubricating oil be more efficient by keeping more soot in suspension and allowing combustion by-products, like water, to be boiled off and recirculated through the exhaust. Thermal efficiency also allows for a hotter combustion chamber which aids in a more complete combustion and propagating flame front with less ash and soot residue. By the way, there is no correlation between upper liner and piston ring wear with operating temperature, that's strictly a metallurgical and lubrication issue. When the piston changes direction at TDC the compression rings “roll” in the land and are forced against the liner walls by the pressure from combustion. This is the main cause of liner/ring wear, although it can be greatly accelerated by dirty air cleaners, in which case the engine is considered “dusted”.
I'm not going to delve into your governor tinkering, you'll know why. Just because it's on an internet forum doesn't mean that it's necessarily true, good, or factual.
But I am thankful that you are satisfied with your results.

hmmm not my data…. but knowledge is useful
When I disassemble the cylinder head from a high hour engine I can nearly always visually observe this effect and of course you can measure it when you measure the bores. Bore wear will be greater on the side of the cylinder that is on the edge of the block (not sharing cooling water with an adjacent cylinder and thus slower to warm up.

Rich,
I really did not describe my observations properly.
The bore will show the most obvious non uniform wear on the front of the front cylinder and the rear of the back cylinder in a given bank.
And these observations are in cylinders with significant bore wear not .001 or .002 but .010″ +.
I have personally worked on a 327 chevy that the ridge in some cylinders that was over .015″.
The excessive wear in that engine was cause by 2 primary factors. No cooling thermostat and overly rich jetting. This combination caused constant cylinder washing and rapid cylinder wear.
I first found the chart of bore wear vs cooling temp in a Teledyne Continental engine manual. The data was likely collected using a non fuel injected gasoline industrial engine due to the publishing date being in the 40's or 50's as I remember. The information caught my interest due to my observations of non uniform wear in real life.
While I doubt that the acceleration of bore wear is as significant in a diesel engine, lightly loaded diesels running cold also have documented tendency to collect fuel droplets on the cylinder walls causing among other things cylinder washing and oil dilution.
I am not a mechanical engineer nor a mechanic. But my nature is to observe and attempt to understand DEVICES that don't work properly. Not people, people are to complicated.
Must get back to re-purposing a 5 foot belly mower into a 3 point mower.
Never enough time to do all of these great projects!!!

Okay, not going to discount that data, but it's old enough to vote and probably not very relevant to engines of the past ten or so years that are designed using CAD thermal imaging.
Here is a primer on the reversal zone wear we're discussing:

Bob,
I had a chance to look over the Deutz engine wear study. That is a great paper and it does cover 1 aspect of our discussion.
To your point the Common Rail turbocharged diesels evaluated in this study and not exactly directly comparable to my TY395 NA mechanically injected engine (probably a 30 year old design).
Their primary wear testing was accomplished at maximum output from what I could gather from the article. While it is one standard method of endurance and wear testing, the engine is operating at nominal temperature during the entire test.
That does not well represent the “stop and go” lives of most of these small utility tractors. A nice study on the effect of coolant temperature is covered in chapter 10 of this book and I believe that it better represents normal operating conditions for typical utility tractors than the Deutz study.
