Jacrouch.
Keep cranking until you hear it catching on a few cylinders and it should run. You can easily crank these babies for 20+ secs. Heck, when mine('84 300td) has been sitting for a few days in below 25* and it warms up to above freezin, I need to crank it for 45-50 secs before it starts to run. Louis. PS: Update your primer pump soon, it can leave you stranded. |

![]() i ordered a new primer pump and cranked the hell out of my car. the battery actually died, so i jumped it with some heavy duty cables. it took a loooong time...probably didn't help that it was just above freezing outside ![]()
