[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 4782, member: 82"] An air lock would make it spin easier as air has little resistance. The only thing i can think of is you're aux hydraulics may be locked in, this will put a huge load on the engine at startup. As you mentioned you disconnected the hydraulic pump and it was still turning slowly, i would check the starter and make sure you have a good earth. The cables must be nice and thick and as short as possible to reduce voltage drop. Make sure the battery is in top shape, it really does take a good batterry to start a diesel engine. Good luck!!
