What is the significance of the meter on glow plugs on a 560? Is it supposed to be high or low when it has been held on long enough or does it tell you nothing except they are on? Thanks, Ron

I hold the glow plug button on my 460 for about a minute then as it is sputtering hold the glow plug button till it can idle on its own. some times it helps to give it a little fuel while its trying to start.

Make sure all six of the glow plugs are working. You can get by with one not working but if you have 2 of them that happen to follow each other in the firing order, you will have a tough start. On my 560 with rebuilt engine I still need to hold glow plugs for 1 min. in the summer and up to 3 min. when it's 20 below zero. However, she always starts. If you need advice on checking glow plugs, e-mail me.

Hold glow plugs for approx. a minute and hit starter. Continue to hold glow plugs until engine smooths out and exhaust clears of white smoke.

Most diesels with glowplugs I am familiar with call for at least 1 minute, sometimes more.
Look at your watch while you hold the glow plug button. A minute takes longer than you think, especially when you are in a hurry.
Older, more worn engines seem to need more time on the glowplugs.
At least that's how it seems to me.

B Graves, I have a B250 and it has been starting well in cold weather. I hold the glow plugs on for about 30 seconds, then hit the starter while still holding the glow plug lever down and I continue to hold it down until I get rhythmic firing and the engine begins to run on its own. That's a cold weather start. Interestingly enough I have a 584 with no glow plugs, no heater and it will start as easily when its 27 below as when its 85. I don't understand that concept but am sure happy with it. Good luck from Mike in Exeter Ontario

Up to 3 minutes of glow plugs on a cold start. Takes about a minute of glow plug on a warm start. This is my experience with a 660 diesel, same engine.
