Default BEST START PROCEDURE

HI GUYS/GALS...I have been a master auto tech. for 20 years and purchased my first kubota 4 years ago. Not having a lot of diesel experience, I was pleased to find a fuel stop control for emergency engine stop. I use the control for an unintended purpose....that is to allow the engine to turn over during a cold start until the oil pressure light go's out,then push in the stop valve while cranking......have noticed glow plug's arn't needed. The purpose is to help eleminate the engine wear prior to oil pressuration, usually takes about 10 to 15 sec. the excessive starter wear should be a small price to pay! Other tractors without a mechanical stop lever could
have a switch installed and used for the same purpose. All of my auto's have a hidden fuel pump relay ground switch which is used for cold start oil pressure and security. good luck george
