Thanks for the response;
My Jinma 254 has 1500 hours on it and does not smoke excessively.
I know nothing of engine injection timing. Should/can I experiment?
I will try some fuel additive first.
Other than its consistent problem with starter gear engagement it starts instantly.
I noticed quite a few glowing embers from my diesel exhaust.
Has anyone ever had to pull their exhaust manifold to clear it of excessive soot?Every three years I had to rebuild mine with a $25 each per kit.
I have now replaced them with Lion Cylinders from Hydraulic Surplus Center.- My system has an after market (Ranch Hand) hydraulic bypass. Never had a problem with it but maybe your hydraulic system has one that has malfunctioned/ needs adjustment and not allowing adequate lift pressure.
<!–more–>I now have 1400 hours on my ball to slug driveshaft conversion and it continues to run/shift flawlessly.
My front wheel drive rebuild also continues to work flawlessly.
That rebuild found that a brass Bellville washer behind a spider gear in the differential was completely destroyed or most likely never installed from the factory and the excessive clearance reduced gear mesh eventually destroying those gears. The other Bellville brass washer in that assembly was pristine hence my suspicion it was never installed during factory assembly.Mr. Privett;Thanks for the response. I may redesign the mounting locations and use pegs for the hooks to spread the loads.
Lot of questions for a post I figured nobody would respond to.Mostly curious if others had the same problems. Some of your questions would be answered in the hyperlink I gave.
The springs always break at the hooks.
My newly ordered springs will not be Hillman,but Gardner assuming they are both Chinese made.Slightly smaller wire diameter.And since spring steel is much harder than the soft steel attachment points I find this breakage puzzling.The return spring on my Toyota pickup clutch pedal spring continued to work after 450,000 miles of use without breaking .

I also have made inquiries 18 months ago to a site moderator without any response. Thankyou for any help you might manage to make. My complaint was about images being limited to 1000kb.I did a repair on my Jinma 254 front end about 2 years ago and posted details along with as many pictures as this site would allow.
The spider gears in the front axle third member failed after 1000 hours because the factory forgot to install brass Bellville washers.

Jmayp;Great you improved your starter system.
Cannot help on Voltage gage discrepancy. When I modified my starting system as you did I did not notice any change in my voltage reading. My gage is very erratic anyway.
You may want to confirm 13.8-14.2 voltage readings at the battery terminals to insure the alternator is charging the battery.
