Ok, back from the shop and they say fuel, compresion and everything is awesome on my 544. But today at 45 degrees It would not start even with a blast of either with out being plugged in for a few hours. The damn thing seems to turn over soooo slow. I think that is the issue. I had the dtarter rebuilt. I was gonna wire it for a 24V start but opted out on advice from this forum. It is currently set up on two 6V in series (= 12V). Crank amps on batts are ( i think 600 CCA. Should I just get two 12V's wire them in parallel and use smaller dia cable as I can not find the big 00 that the 6's have ( they are too short and wrong ends for parallel 12's. Would tghis even help. Every other older 60's-70's farmall deisel I run for neighbors fire right up. I am disgusted with its cold temp bules and am gonna get rid of it if I cant cure it. This is an extremely good shape machine and would rahter keep it, but I need a good starter to keep the 1/2 mile drive open and for the generator in case of a power outage. .PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
