I'm out of my element here so those more knowledgeable will have to comment on this: A quick look at the schematic in Haynes (and it appears to be an U.K. schematic at that) shows that shorting the two outer contacts on the terminal block next to the battery will energize the starter solenoid cranking the engine and also supply power to the glow plug relay. If the key is in the 'off' position wouldn't that prevent fuel from flowing? Then have someone turn the key to the 'run' position and you remove the short?
