1365 Hard to Start

I should say impossible to start! Was driving down the road and spied a decent loking 1365 at a dealer's. Stopped in to test drive, but he was unable to get it started. He claimed they were notoriously hard starting, but it was 40 deg out, which isn't that cold. He worked the throttle back and forth, claiming that's what the prev owner recommended.

He also said it was a Perkins. I thought those were Fiat throughout.

Any ideas? It was a nice unit, but NG if it's that hard to start. Would injector work be an option?

If that 1365 wouldn't start at 40 degrees, it's just plumb wore out. The 1250-A to 1465 tractors are--or were--some of the best-starting utility tractors built, and, at least in part due to that, hold their value strongly as reliable winter chore tractors.

Pass on that one unless you get a powertrain warranty.

They are Fiat all the way. They do not like to start below 50 degrees for a few seconds. Set the throttle fairly low, crank until you hear 1-2 fires (will skip on the starter)but in no case more than 15 sec. Sit and wait 10-15 sec then try again. My sister's starts down to freezing without any trouble, even after sitting for 6 months. It has started at 15 degrees without any preheat, if it was run the week before. I suspect the compression will show low.

To pre-heat, there is a fuel spray and ignitor on the start switch. Turn it to the prestart position and hold for 20-30 seconds, the glow plug should start a fire in the intake and heat the unit up. Then it should start right up.

Good batteries are a must, as well as a good charging system. But they are nice little machines.
