Onan 8.0 89sp glow plugs-how can you tell if good?
Ed,

Are you holding the switch to the 'stop' position to activate the glow
plugs and fuel pump before going to the 'start' position?

If not, I believe this is the proper technique. I normally count to
between ten and twenty while holding the switch, depending on
conditions.
