Hi, MikeD. IF you are desperate, you can spray WD40 or upper cylinder lubricant into the air intake manifold as you are turning the motor before trying to start it. Remove the air intake pipe from the manifold and spray directly into the manifold. This will get lubricant to the cylinders a lot quicker than trying to start the motor. Even better is to remove the injectors or spark plugs and spray directly into the cylinders. Spark plugs are seldom a problem but injectors can sometimes be a bit of a hassle to remove, replace and bleed. If you think the cylinders are really dry, it is also worthwhile to keep lightly spraying the lubricant into the manifold until normal oil pressure registers on the guage. This step is easier to do with a diesel than a gas engine 'cos it doesn't have to go through a carburetor. You may note that I said in the opening paragraph,
"IF you are desperate,". Even if you manage to get the toy out without starting it, it would probably be a good idea to do the above with the machine on level ground before trying to start it. Best of luck. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
