Re: Stus-List Starting a Universal

[David Knecht]

In the Been There/ Done That department, I would like to mention that if the engine does not start in the first 5-10 seconds, I always close the raw water intake stopcock before proceeding.   I have made that mistake once in the past and don't intend to repeat an engine rebuild experience.  Dave On May 19, 2013, at 5:25 PM, Steve Thomas <sthom...@sympatico.ca> wrote: The glow plugs draw a lot of power, and that may be slowing down your engine cranking speed somewhat.   It is not unusual for system voltage to drop below the minimum required by electronic devices while cranking.   One thing to watch out for is exhaust water getting back into the engine during extended cranking.  I have a leak at the exhaust elbow which is hard to pin down for the above reason. Can't just hook up a garden hose to the water injector. Oh joy, oh joy.   Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII     David Knecht Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT
