Hello all, I just pick-up a new Genset with a Yanmar Y-100 Deisel V-2 engine. And I can't get this brand new, never been run before engine to fire up. I don't believe there was ever fuel in the engine before, the tank and fuel filter looks perfectly clean.
The engine turns over very nicely, and I have cranked it off the electric starter at 15sec intervals for 10-15 times. I don't get any black or grey smoke from the exhaust. I can see that there is diesel in the filter.
Are there any tips to starting a new deisel?
BTW there doesn't appear to be any pre heating of the plugs option. But the temp here is plenty warm.
any help is appreciated
thanks
