starting from scratch

In about a week, I will have acquired a 1960 190db than has not run in a few years and has been kept indoors. It has a rebuilt head and good compression. The injectors were bench tested and were deemed ok The seller has tried briefly to get it running. He used starting fluid with poor results. Can someone give me a concise guide on how I should get my new prize going. This is my first entry into the diesel world. I am better at gassers. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.jv

NOT with starting fluid. Starting fluid is only permissable on direct injection engines without glow plugs!

I would start by bypassing all of the fuel tank and just feeding off a bottle. This would be after valve adjustments, filters and ip timing. Not sure on these older ones but you may want to replace primer pump as well. I imagine this has the gorilla knob, check the resistance on all the glowplugs. You may need to tow start it eventually.
