tim they can be a bear sometimes to start,but with a little persistance you should get it running.first off i know off people that just hook up a 4x4 and pull start em,and thats how the guy i got mine from started it for 10 yrs.but when i went to look at it it was on a trailer and i wanted to here it run so i set out to get it to start normally.so 2 things to check to start with are,does it have good spark and is the carb getting gas?they are notorious for the float sticking up,as they just use a gravity feed for the gas(no fuel pump).i'll give ya my start procedure.1open both petcocks on the pony heads and turn engine over by hand to flush whatever is in there ,also check oil in pony(especially for gas smell,and if so change),2 close right side and turn on the gas at the tank,3 go over to left side close that petcock pull comp release lever out turn on the gas below the comp release lever,4pull choke out all the way and throttle about half,5 wrap a rope around pulley and start pulling,i know on occasion i have to take the gas cap off and blow in the gas tank to force gas to the carb,once started push choke in and throttle out til she purrs like a kitty,then i usually let run til i can feel heat on the intake right above the comp lever,the pull up on the pinion lever til it snaps,6 then make sure the clutch lever is forward and its in neutral and push the curved handle on the side forward to get the diesel spinning,7 as its spinning look ove rat the oil pressure gauge and when it pops up give the diesel a little throttle and push the comp release lever and she should fire right up,where you located,if you were within 150 miles of me i'd come give ya a hand,they can be finicky but they can be beat.
