Also, your glow plugs have to work properly! Mine is from Los Angles, but oddly has a block heater. Number five plug is out so the glow cycle is way too short. So, last winter instead of spending $50 for the reamer, just plugged her in when I got up in the morning. Ran better than afterwards in summer. Now that winter is coming, just might do the same if I can get her back on the road. Sure miss driving her!
