[QUOTE="Wetz, post: 61328, member: 2427"] I'm having trouble starting my t133s. I turn the key to preheat and it heats for a 3 to 5 seconds and seems to trip out. When I turn the key to start the engine I get nothing. Then after a few seconds I hear a click and I'm able to turn the engine over. By the time I can turn the engine over I think the glow plugs have cooled down. Not sure but it looks like in the manual there is a 40 amp circuit breaker that resets itself and is inline with the glow plugs and the starter circuit. Is it possible that it is weak and not allowing the glow plugs to heat and then the starter not turn over. Even if I don't heat the glow plugs the starter will only turn over for about 3 seconds before the circuit breaker trips out. Another question is where is the circuit breaker. I looked for it tonight while I was having trouble getting it started and couldn't find it. I can probably find it but if someone knows where it is that would save some time. I finally got it started by jumping a wire from the battery to the strap across the glow plugs to preheat them and then a screw driver across the terminals of the battery and it fired almost immediately. thanks if advance for the help Denny [/QUOTE]
