hard starting 706

Posted by Dexter on November 09, 2001 at 05:21:18 from (142.165.69.106):

I have a 706 diesel that is hard to start. I have to really preheat with the glow plugs (even in the summer), and only have the throttle barely opened. As it begins to start, it's as if only a couple of the cylinders are firing. I have to gradually open the throttle and if I open it too quickly it's as if the engine is flooding (not possible in a diesel?) and it stalls out. I preheat again, try starting again, until finally it takes off. The problem is worse the colder it is outside, but once running the engine works fine.
I've heard of others having the same trouble with the 706. What is wrong? Is there a cheap, easy solution or do I just have to live with it? Any help appreciated.
