Cold weather operations, Tak 135

StPat ยท 2018-11-03 16:56

Is there something I am missing here, have a Takeuchi 135, 2007, any amount of cold and it will not start. Is there some magic switch that I should be using when the temps get below 30?

    Does it have a preheat position on the key? Possible the glow plugs are bad?

    It it cranking over well? Or cranks good just no start?

    It has a grid heater that works off the key position, I believe its in the accessory position.

    pre heat is turning key to counter clock wise. My 135 has really never needed to pre heat at temp higher than say 30 deg f.
