[QUOTE="lesgawlik, post: 100870, member: 4115"] It turns out that wasn't it. I had the same problem today. Primer bulb is full. I don't think it's fuel, since once the engine has been started for the day, it starts fine. Once it starts, it runs great. When I have the problem, it seems to start instantaneously, but then not fire on the next cylinders. If I hold the starter in, the engine cranks slowly, then turns over and will usually start. The battery is full, and I charge it constantly with a smart charger as I've done for months. I wonder if I have problems with one or more glow plugs? It's getting chilly at night, and the panel calls for about a 5 sec glow. I am thinking that one or two plugs are working, and that gives me the instant almost-start. The other one or ones isn't glowing, and the compression stroke bogs down the starter. Once I get a full revolution, I can get enough heat and rotation to cause the engine to fire. Sound right? Would a bad plug throw a fault code? [/QUOTE]
