Perkins cold start

I had tried to glow the plugs for a short time. I didn't realize that these
plugs take longer. My thanks to Tom Warner for giving my the time to glow these
plugs and to tie the battery banks together. Right now, both engines are
doing quite nicely. Time to get some #1 fuel for my impending trip Fri afternoon
south.
The Perkins caught the 4 try with the glow plugs. The outside temps overnite
were 5 above and the temp this afternoon is 16. Fortuately- the bus faces the
sun and this will be my first attempt at driving on hardpacked snow. Another
fortunate thing- the snow is only in town- not out on the highway- whew!!!
thanks to all for your sugestions- Texas here we come!!
