- Iseki 2140
I'm wondering what other owners experiences are with starting their Iseki.
Mine has the three cylinder Mitsi engine. I have to pre-heat for around 20 seconds before turning the engine over (ambient temperature is usually around 10 degrees centigrade). Anything shorter, it doesn't really want to know about starting. Sometimes it doesn't start on all three cylinders, but seems to start on one or two before the third starts. This usually indicates an issue with the glow/heater plugs.
I've metered the glow/heater plugs and they're all the same resistance, so should all be working. The tractor has only done around 240 hours, so wouldn't have thought the injectors needed a service. Though having said that, it may benefit new plugs and injector service.
It starts fine after the initial morning start-up.
What's the experience of other owners please?
