84 300D with an 85 engine.

It starts and runs in the cold. I cycle starting x3. I mean, I let it crank for about 5 second, stop, crank for another five seconds, stop, do that a third time, and it starts every time.

When the light works, I cycle the plugs 2 times before trying to start. The, when I crank to start, it starts instantly. This when hot or cold.
