you can not flood a diesel. in fact excess fuel makes them start easier
since it tends to help the rings seal. in cold weather hold the pedal on
the floor and it will start better. some pumps go to full rack when they
and not running anyway. you can burn up glow plugs by jumping the relay.
the plugs are not 12 volt but less so they heat up quicker ( or more
quickly ) also using ether or starting fluid will destroy the glow plugs
almost instantly if they are hot.
