I am also thinking the pull start might be a little hard on the dry cylinders. I guess it's time to pull the injectors and do the marvel mystery oil soak. |
I think that you just need to pull start it. It will only take a couple minutes to do and you may get this thing running again. If you are worried about the dry cylinders then put some oil in each before dragging the car, but I wouldnt be worried about it.
I know that it is wierd pull starting an automatic. I remember pull starting my 1965 190dc when nobody could get it running. It had 7 year old diesel fuel in it and still started up. After pull starting it it would start up with the starter motor.
