Hello,
For the past couple months Ive been increasing the glow plug warm up time to get the engine started, even after its warm. When it starts theres a grinding sound but I dont think its coming from the starter. When it starts I get a large puff of black smoke. Im guessing Im in need of some glow plugs first of all which I've been planning to do. Today when it started, it began making a noise from the engine as if one of the cylinders wasnt connected to the muffler. It wasnt continuous unless I increased the throttle. I went to raise the bucket and no hydraulic functions are working. I also noticed my Tach wasn't working. Thoughts?
