I am almost certain the problem was a little corrosion on the #2 glow plug wire. I pulled the boot off, wiped it with a paper towel, put it back and it fired up right away. It's been good since. As I thought about the problem, the glow plugs were the obvious answer. The machine has always fired up immediately, about as well as a well-tuned gas engine. When it had its problems, it did fire on one or two cylinders immediately, and then it bogged down, almost like the battery was depleted. If you held the started for another second or two, it would get past compression for that cylinder, and then fire on the cylinders with the good glow plugs. After a few revolutions, it would start up and run normally. When the engine was hot, it started normally. To me, that ruled out fuel as the culprit. So, I think it's okay, but I very much appreciate the offer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
