Pulling a diesel to start it

Posted by Dale on June 10, 2004 at 10:17:44 from (134.84.43.11):

I posted a message earlier about my 450 diesel. Thanks to PA Steve, justin, and Jed for their nice answers.

I can't get the engine to start on gas this spring. I shut off the gas line to the carb and ran it on gas until the carb was empty last fall. I had not done that before. Now it won't start. Gas will run from the valve on the carb, so gas gets into the carb, but not into the engine.

If I put it in diesel mode by pulling the diesel lever, will the engine start by pulling the tractor in 4th or 5th gear? I've tried with the battery, but turns over slowly. Thanks in advance. Dale
