Perkins cold start
Pete, we are talking about small 3 4 cyl diesels of which I have more
than 15 working units. I crank while holding the rag only long
enough to start. I don't have the guts to use start fluid on a large
diesel. My 6cyl aircompressor (IR John Deere Diesel) requires
ether to start when its cold. I adopted a fool proof plan to protect
the unit. "We dont start it when its cold". When somthing gets sucked
in the intake it often hits a screen prior to the airfilter.
