How do you start an engine in a Takeuchi?

How do you start an engine in a Takeuchi?

I know the basics for starting an engine – you turn the key, it moves to the accessory/on position (dashboard lights up) and then to the start position (starter turns/cranks the engine) and the engine starts. You release the key and it reverts to the accessory/on position and stays in that position while the engine is running.

Where is the relay on a Takeuchi starter?

Now to find the relay. A parts schematic (downloaded from internet) showed it was in the vicinity of the wires I was working with and I found it easily. I located the yellow wire from the starter solenoid disconnected it from the relay switch and tested it was continuous to the starter solenoid.

How do you stop a Takeuchi diesel engine?

To stop the engine you turn it anticlockwise to the off position. For background I mention that a gasoline engine needs spark plugs to ignite the gas vapor in the cylinder, a diesel engine does not use spark plugs and the diesel vapor ignites when it is compressed in the cylinder.

What is the color code on a Takeuchi starter?

So my objective was to trace the wire attached to the starter solenoid back to the starter switch. It is 3 csa and color code is BY (black base, yellow line). I located the wire at the solenoid (it was yellow!) and traced it to where it disappeared with a lot of other wires into a junction.

What are the features of a Takeuchi tb125?

The specifications and features make the TB125 reliable to own, comfortable to operate and a performance leader on the job. When you invest in a Takeuchi, you receive over five decades of equipment innovation, the quality assurance of ISO-9001 certification and responsive after sales support from an industry leader.

How does a Takeuchi starter solenoid relay work?

So the way this relay works is a live wire from the starter switch is connected to the relay and when the key is turned to the start position a wire from the starter switch carries a current to the relay and this connects the powered 3csa RW wire to the 3csa yellow wire which then carries the current to the starter solenoid.

Why is the starter switch on my Takeuchi bad?

So maybe the fusible link was defective or maybe the starter switch was bad. It took some time to check these were ok, especially tiresome opening up the controller cover (with the cab in a vertical position since it was pulled forward) to get at the underside of the starter switch. And, with hindsight, really unnecessary.

What should be checked when starting a Takeuchi?

Since the engine does not crank whether it it receives fuel is irrelevant to my testing. So the only things to be checked should be the wiring from the positive battery terminal to the starter motor (a thick cable), and the wire from the positive battery terminal to the starter switch and then to the starter solenoid.

How does the starter switch work on a Takeuchi?

The starter switch initiates cranking by supplying current to the starter solenoid. I thought about it awhile and then it clicked – the starter switch was receiving current from the starter terminal and then, to crank the starter it was sending current to the starter solenoid. Now it seemed obvious.

What kind of engine does a Takeuchi excavator have?

I have a 2006 Takeuchi TB175 excavator with a Yanmar Model # 4TNV98-V diesel engine. The engine automatically shuts down I have a 2006 Takeuchi TB175 excavator with a Yanmar Model… I have a 2006 TB175 Takeuchi just had hydraulic pump repaired for track tensioner repaired but still won’t tension.

What should the starter wire be on a Takeuchi?

The wiring diagram indicates the wire from the starter switch should be 1.25csa LgR (light green base, red line, 1.31csa=16awg). I found this wire and tested it by connecting my voltmeter one end to this wire and the other end to the positive battery terminal clamp (not connected to battery).
