Should read ~28 amps without trying to start the engine. The amp draw will taper off as the plugs warm up. You can get the glowplugs online cheap. Do a Google search with the part number. 5) I assume the battery is fully charged, and of the correct capacity? 6) Check here for parts: http://www.goldeneagleec.com/ 7) The Perkins 4-108 has been around for ages, mostly for small generators and sailboat engines. Lots of info on them out there - You Tube, Google, etc.</p></blockquote><p></p>
