Perkins cold start
I started my Perkins the other day when temps were in the 20's and it was a real
bear. Had to hit the glow plugs repeatedly, finally resorted to a little starting fluid and it still bucked, farted and smoked like it was burning pine knots for a minute or so. They just don't like the cold. I'd use a magnetic block heater (unless yours has a plug in heater) and plan on an ordeal, unless you can just do without it until you hit warmer temps. Good Luck, Doug Ernest Ekberg - 0 here. i have tried to start my Perkins 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?
