P.S.:Always use full throttle when starting a cold diesel,release to a high idle immediately after starting.

@5410driver Yes, but once it reaches idle the fuel will shut off and the engine will almost certainly stop, unless you live in a sub-tropical area.

@KapteinOpel / No need to even touch the throttle the governor inside the pump already has it at full fuel anyway
-
Yes you push it straight down by the lift controll yes is that what it does ok thanks.
Oh by the way do you have a handbrake or a locking pin.

Using the glow plug is no use any more, and it becomes an eather baby.
I got my self a 1958 Fordson Dexta and I don't know what the lever is on the right hand side when sitting on tractor under seat could you tell me what it does.

@TheDexta1958 Is it the one right by the lift control? if so, that turns the lift from draft to constant pumping.

It doesnt work with the button, but we straight wired it to the battery one day and it still worked.

There might be a butten on the side of the engine and press it and it midht make it easyer to start the Dexta I don't know which side but when your sitting on the Major it's on the right holding the stopper lever

Yes, there is a glow plug heater and a fuel primer, however on my Dexta they do no good.
