Changed thermostart and oil, now it won't start

[alexanderg23]

Thanks guys!! Got it started. I bought a battery maintainer and put some heat lamps on the block and it was 60 degrees today. I took the air filter cover off and could see the glow plug heating up, but never noticed diesel drip down on it. My friend has a magnetic block heater, would that be a good idea?

I just cycled the thermostarter and now it's getting diesel. Thanks for the help.

a block heater would not hurt.

" it was 60 degrees today"
There-in lies the magic. If you are going to be using it in below freezing weather you need the biggest CCA battery that will fit.
