Perkins cold start

[jim fenn]

From your neighbor over in Bigfork, and having to start my diesel Gradall
forklift on the job site this morning, forget about any clues in this kind of
weather and get out the starting fluid. But the key is to NEVER spray any into
the air intake unless you are cranking the engine over. Never spray to a sitting
still engine. The other key is to use ever so little, just a tiny little squirt,
then add alittle more as needed, ONLY when the engine is being cranked over.
Some people just won't uderatand how cold it is here. After you get it started,
start the bird and HEAD South!!!. Jim in Bigfork 8135FCRB

by depressing the stop button- to activate the glow plugs. this seems
to make the voltage drop to below 10 and she will crank, smoke, but not
catch and start- any clues? Ernie- 83PT40 in dismal cold Montana-
