I'm sure this problem becomes more popular as winter approaches. Out here on the west coast, it isn't winter quite yet. Here's the question/problem.
CK25 with 90 hours. Hard to start when temp drops slightly below 55 degrees. One GP cycle (8 seconds) doesn't work. It usually takes four cycles (32 seconds) before the engine will turn-over and start. Anything less and it's unburned fuel coming from the exhaust. Battery is new, good connections and the engine turns over well. Once started it runs fine.
Checked the voltage at the glow plugs and it's 11-12vdc for the 8 second cycle. That looks good.
If it's difficult to start between 50-55 degrees - I'm sure it's going to be a pain at 30.
Any recomendations?
Thanks
