I went to start my D4D after it has been sitting for about two years.
The solenoid "bangs in" very solidly but the engine will not turn.
One brand new battery and the other one checks out very good.
Both are fully charged.
When I hit the start button, there is a tremendous current draw as shown by the ammeter which I take means the starter is fully engaging but unable to turn the flywheel.
The starter turns very fast when I connect the two main terminals on the solenoid together effectively bypassing the solenoid.
I would like to get some ATF and diesel fuel into the cylinders.
Would removing the glow plugs and injecting the mixture there be a good way of doing this?
Thanks for any advice.
