Sako, are you getting some partial firing when it cranks or nothing at all? What's the air temp where you are?
Either way get the valves adjusted when you can. |
Question? When does a light bulb burn out? It worked yesterday. When does a diesel engine reach the point when it doesn't start because of low compression? True story: A guy drives his SL to the grocery store, gets out of the car, goes into the store. He gets back in his car, starts it, puts it in drive and nothing happens. His transmission just quit worling just like the light bulb. I'm just saying we need to look at all the possibilities.
