My 600 diesel did that when I first got it . The
throttle lever on the injection pump has a
detent ball that falls into a detent ( divot) . The
purpose is to locate the idle speed on the
lever. The throttle lever on the operators
platform should be adjusted to have enough
throw so that you can move the throttle past
idle position which will kill the engine when in
diesel mode. Running on gas with the throttle
at idle speed would be injecting some diesel
fuel which makes it smokey and maybe hard
to start. Now, that detent ball is hard to see ,
but if you get a little oil on it , it will slide past
the detent. Mine was sticky and wouldn't go
past until I oiled it. Make sure you leave it in
diesel mode after the engine is stopped, as
this allows the "3rd valve" in the combustion
chamber to cool on it's seat rather than
possibly warping from being open. Also , isn't
there a separate kill switch for the ignition like
a gas tractor? It would do nothing in diesel
operation, but would cut the ignition. My 600
has a key switch. Personally I always let the
engine cool down on diesel, and shut it off
without switching back to gas. It always starts
fine without the benefit of being "primed" the
previous time.
