Most of these hard start problems begin with the battery. How old is it? Also, a 2 amp charger is hardly worth the effort. For $15.00/$18.00, if not new then at a garage sale pick up a 10 or 15 amp charger with a 50 amp booster for starting. Then you will have a low cost tool worthy of the effort to plug it in and hook it up. Every diesel owner should have one.
