Deutz running rough

[Oly's Stump]

I have a 2008 Rayco RG50 super with the 66 hp. At times this engine runs rough (smoking and burning more fuel). I tried injector cleaner additive (no luck). Anyone have the same problem or cure? Is there any adjustments ?

Oh man. We have the same grinder at my work. The Deutz is a turd for reliability. We have ours at Rayco right now getting worked on for a similar problem. Been at least a few weeks and nothing has been heard yet. Since the motor is oil cooled, we think there is a leak or a warp somewhere, causing the combustion chamber to suck in oil. We had problems with the exhaust "manifold" too. The ear broke/cracked once. We have had a few other problems too. Good luck. Being a 2008, I would be calling your dealer and using your warranty.

Thanks for the response...my dealer went out of business. No close dealer. Guess next step to call the manufacture.

I'm surprised you don't like your duetz. I have seen lots of the with high hours and little work beyond maintenance. Hope they get the bugs out of it and you end up with yet another 8 k hour + duetz.

You do not have to go through a Rayco dealer. Just locate the nearest authorized Deutz engine sales and service dealer, and got directly to them.
The idea about it sucking in oil is probably not correct. Unless, your engine seems to be using a lot of oil.
I have a 60HP Deutz on my new Carlton 7015.. It runs rough and blows smoke if you rev it up real quickly, or if it is bouncing along on rough ground. I find it smooths out as soon as you get to grinding and put a load on the engine. I also have found out if you rev it up slowly, it is less prone to run rough. Carlton says it is normal, and is due to some sensor that is associated with the turbo and emissions control. I have not yet called my Deutz dealer to verify this, but I am not really worried as i have lots of warranty time/hours remaining.

Try changing the air cleaner element, as a blocked filter can cause the problems you ars describing.

I will look at the air filter element. Today I used that machine with no problems. Ran nice. Go figure!
