Default 2510 Diesel

I have a 2510 Diesel, it was flipped on its side. Now when trying to start it does not turn over, it tries but only bumps once, like its a weak battery, but battery is good. I know there is an issue when filling oil up, that it could go down intake... What could you do to verify that oil is not intake and if there is, what do you do to clean it out... Thanks...

Welcome....

So the prob is, the 2510 will not crank over right? I doubt oil in the intake would stop her from cranking..... You might have jarred loose a relay, or a cable maybe... Double check all of your connections. Also, are you getting the right amount of voltage and amperage to the starter?

The Kawi's diesel engine (made by Daihatsu) can be easily hydrolocked by engine oil. I am guessing that's what happened when you tipped it over. Remove the plugs and crank it to spit out all the oil from combustion chamber. Hope you didn't bend a rod...

I agree. Hydro locked. Test the top dead center locaton of each piston prior to running this motor. It's a lot cheaper to put in a new rod if you damaged it now than to buy an entire engine if the rod breaks a few hours down the road and burst the entire block. Seen this in not only mules, but motorcycles and jet skis.
Hope this helps,
Jody
