Smokey diesel cold start

It was about 36 degrees this morning, so I filmed a nice smokey start of my '83 Isuzu I-Mark.

This rare old car has a 1.8L, 51hp diesel engine, and NO working glow plugs(yet).

@thechurchowl27e yep, it does.

diesel is the hardest to start

[WhoSaidTyler]

@duncan33984 well these usually start easily. When I made this video the glow plugs were not working, so it was starting totally from heat of compression.

Reminds me of a Diesel Chevette, although the Chevette has the same engine as the I-Mark.

@mitsumivec4life Same car too, actually. Both are the T-chassis.

LOL. You soundjust like Obama. Genius the Gp's are sho or compression is low in a cylinder.t. If you install new ones with a faster glow to start heat temp. The Hard start condition would be nil. I have a 1.6 vw diesel and 3,0 mb diesel that don'tt smoke at all on startup. =)
