The 4020 I am working on to fix the steering problem I described earlier, it starts really hard, even at 60 F in my shop. We pulled and tested the batteries, good. Connections all look good.
The starter could be suspect, the owner had it worked on this last summer. The owner feels the shop he used is good and others I trust not so much. There was a post on a 3020 about starters. I think Tim S recommended a Starter. Tim S or anyone else, can you recommend a good starter for a 1967 4020?
Also, this 4020 was overhauled last winter, not me. It is putting out 110 HP. It smokes light blue smoke a lot, even when raking or just idling. Could the pump settings, e.g. fuel rate or timing contribute to hard starting? I would like the owner to take it to the local diesel shop to get tuned up but so far he is not interested.
