[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 1672, member: 26"] Tazza, must be your glowplugs don't heat as fast as mine. And, if you don't have a "keep the plugs on for a while" circuit, I can see how it may start initially when the plugs are hot, then quit as they cool off before the cylinders come up to some minimum temperature. Just a pushbutton routing 12v directly to the glowplug lines should do it for the minimal approach (assuming your plugs run from 12v). That way you can hold the button down and keep your plugs hot until it's running OK without them. I have a buddy with a 743 which starts fine (I know, you're not interested in hearing that!), I could check his machine to see what the general glowplug timing is. Let me know. --- I'm afraid to do a compression test on mine, too. Someone has written a number above each cylinder: 460 460 450 420. That seems like a reasonable set of compression numbers to me, but I have no idea of when it was done or what an acceptable range would be. --- Thanks for all your comments on this forum.
