Title: 0 air pressure won't start
Post by: bigfoot on April 03, 2020, 01:20:55 pm
I am in a fix. Let the my set a little too long. With no air guess that is a prob no air for throttle. That ahead of time. Batteries are ok but tried to jump just in case. No go. Thanks in advance

Your diesel Cat should start just fine with no throttle applied.

But, if you do ever need throttle and no air pressure, you can manually move the linkage at the engine.

When you say "no go" exactly what does/does not happen? Said another way, now far into the engine start cycle do you get?

Assume you have unscrewed your manual primer pump and pumped it until hard to eliminate that as a cause of the no start.

Thanks Wolf. My mistake. Starter battery was down and my cold start did not help. Maybe the cold start is not even working. Jumped the chassie battery and it took off
