singtracks my didn’t start that good then I had it for the first year but I have done a lot of work with it and it getting better and better but I did get a new battery for it what helps it start quickly
This one looks like a 4/98DT or earlier equivalent. These are direct injection diesels that should be fairly easy to start. In fact, using one of the two optional starting aids (ether start instead of thermostart), a 98 series will start in -40 degrees Celsius. This post has been here a while but I'll go through this anyway. I just love to see old 98 still out there doing the job! It is more than likely fitted with a thermostart which puts electrically heated fuel into the intake manifold (ruclips.net/video/IkgmXiFFqCc/видео.html). If it does have a thermostart then it might be worth checking that it has power and fuel and you know how to make it operate properly. However, a 98 series or similar DI diesel in good warmish conditions would probably start without it. The first stop for the full fault finding journey should be the electrics of the starter system consisting of the battery, starter motor and starter cable. Remember that on old machines, large volt drops in corroded cables or connections are common. Ideally, you want the volt drops under starting conditions to be less than 100mV on each side: battery to starter motor on both earth and power sides. Second stop is the fuel system and that means fuel type(!), tank level, line blockages, filter condition, fuel lift pump (does priming lever, if fitted, work), injection pump run settings, injection pump cold start setting. Third is cold start devices and understanding the ones that are fitted and making them work properly. I have highlighted thermostart because it is very common and is often like a magic wand for diesels that haven't run for a bit! However, there are also FIP cold start settings and ether-start devices and you need to understand which is fitted. Other makes and models with IDI diesels also have glow plug starting aids in each cylinder and sometimes just a fault in one glow plug will stubbornly deter starting.

geeees mine wont start that quick,,any ideas what i should check
