Thermostart?

[flyingcow]

If i spelled it right,


The manual for my TN75 doesn't give much info for this button. i know it's for cold starting, but can someone remind me of the correct process to use this? This isn't a glow plug or manifold heater. Lived in the north all my life, been around equipment, just not used to this set up.

Thanks

You spelled it correctly. It is in fact a manifold heater. Key on, hold the button in for up to a minute depending on ambient temp, then crank it over while still holding the Thermostart button in. Release when the tractor runs on all cylinders.

How many people wanted that "horn button" repaired?

There is a Yanmar thread on the thermostart.
Includes description of how it is supplied with fuel to glow and burn.

Thanks. i think i asked this same question last winter. usually the tractor is kept in the truck garage, if it's outside i plug in the block heater.
