AchingBack, my Mahindra manual says the same as yours, start at idle and that’s what i’ve been doing. However after getting 3 different Mitsubishi SL3/SL4 manuals, Services, Maintenance and Operation that are extremely detailed and well written it’s the Mahindra manual I question. It tends to be pretty basic and lacks a lot of detail. If you’d like copies of the manuals I think I can attach them in a pm or I can I try and find the links to where I found them
Pumpguy, don’t know how to tell if it’s inline or rotary, the only other info in the manual other then settings is under type it’s listed as PFR. Seeing that the manual says to go to full throttle prior to starting makes me think it’s rotary.
And lastly I’m not trying to start a debate on which is right or wrong. I’m was trying to clear up conflicting information between the tractors OEM and the Engine OEM.
You have to remember. That the folks making the manuals are sometimes not tractor people. A lot of that is job'd out, probably to the lowest bidder. There is also a cultural and language barrier. The people actually making the motor, the folks placing it into a tractor, the manufacturer of the tractor, and the company that puts it's name on it/sells it to you.... is a long process. Low idle, high idle, low RPM, wide open RPM, must also mean different things to different folks. Effluent happens ... common sense wins out.
