Idle knob: Needs repaired. Currently seized
Starting: After glow plug light has gone out signaling to start car. I cranck for a good 30 seconds to a full minute. Smokes like crazy.
Mounts: All worn out
Parking spot: level
Thanks for all the advice. I will start with fuel lines, they need replaced anyway I am sure. I will also purchase a compression tester.
