HI MY FORD 1210 HAS A SHIBAURA ENGINE AND IT WAS JUST OVERHAULED BY A LOCAL NEW HOLAND DEALER. NEW PISTONS AN RING NEW HEAD.BUT THE PROBLEM IS THEY CANT GET IT TO START CORRECTLY. IT WILL START BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY IT ABOUT SIX TIMES USING THE GLO PLUGS EVERY TIME. ONCE IT STARTS IT RUN FINE.SHUT IT OFF AND IT WILL START RIGHT UP BUT IF IT SIT FOR COUPLE HOURS IT BACK TO STARTING HARD. THEY SAY THE PUMP TIMING IS OKAY. THE PUMP WAS CHECKED OUT THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.THE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST IS GRAY WHEN TRYING TO START CANT TELL IF IT HAS TO MUCH FUEL OR NOT ENOUGH? LOOKED AT FUEL BLEEDING BACK BUT FUEL TANK IS HIGHER THEN PUMP. ANY IDEAS, LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE OR THAT THEY KNOW OF SOMEONE THAT NOWS THESE ENGINE.

I have the same unit . The first thing that I noticed in your post is that you get gray smoke when trying to start . This is a sign of unburned fuel coming out the exhaust . Here's a little thing you can do right away to see if it is a simple fix . The glow plugs will draw amps when on . You must determine if they are all working . Just because your dash says they are on there is no guarantee that they are ALL working . Usually the glow plug will draw a max of 4 amps . Soooo since you have a 3 cylinder engine you should be drawing 10 to 12 amps when the glow plugs are being used . If not then you have one or two not working . This is just the first test . The proper pump timing is too difficult to do "at home" unless you have the right stuff . If it runs at all you are not a full turn out so it MIGHT be just one tooth which is easy to fix IF that's it . Start with the amp draw and hope that's it . Good luck . ....

I know on my '03 NH Boomer (3 cyl.) it is very hard to start without the glow plugs working--sometimes impossible. I have the parts to fix it but just haven't taken the time.
To me it sounds okay with the gray smoke until it gets started, then start up okay after warm up---sounds right. I'd persue the glow plug issue before anything else. ....

You have a 02 Boomer EW, not an 03. (I have the same machine.) That's one of the first signs of old age creeping in on you. I know that first hand too. Don't try to say you hit the wrong key on the keyboard either :-). ....

DOH! You got me Truth Nazi! Hiel!
And oh yeah, we don't have the "same" machine; that implies we have joint ownership---we have "similar" machines. So there, naa! Next! ....
