If any one can help please i would be very greatful. I am going to buy a MD on sunday... The guy im buying it from says that it wont start. He ran it the day before. He told me it died on him and then would not start back up. what i dont know if it died when he was running on diesel or on gas. but if it did die on diesel and lets say the diesel pump quit shouldnt it still start on gas? It dooes have a magneto for the gas to fire on. I think if it is not getting spark i will check the mag and wires. My question is just because it wont start on gas does that mean it wont run on diesel eather? i know you are supposed to warm them up on gas then switch. but can a guy pull start it right off of diesel. it is supposed to be 80 out on sunday when i go get it. If I pulled it around for a while with it on the gas side of the motor with the gas valve off at the tank I was thinking that i could warm the engine up that way enough to make the diesel fire. does this sound like somthing that would work? I had a guy tell me that he had pulled a minneapolis moline that was supposed to warm up like the md and he said it took a while but it did start. Any suggestions would be a big help as I would like to get it running so i can load on my gooseneck trailer without tring to push or pull it on. Also... am i right that when you wanna stop the md you just idle it down till it kills as there is no "kill" switch. or is there a kill switch? i do not know alot about the MD. I just know they dint make nearly as many as the reguar M. Thanks for any info!
