Pull starting -decompression lever back pull choke make sure gas is turned on press starter botton after the gas side is running allow it to run on the gas side till the engine speed come up and runs smoothe for atleast a min . or two pull the throttel to about 1/4 and make the switch allow the diesel to run for awhile to warm up before utting it to work and if worked allow time for cool down before shut down and in all the years i have ran the gas start diesels i never switch back to the gas side when shutting them down as this causes the combustion chamber to heat back up and i never cracked a head on any of them that i ran or had this was told to me by and old timmer I H mechanic and never go to the field with out refilling the starting tank because if ya stall it out in the field and no gas to restart that is when you will do the most damage to the head as the cylinder head temp will rise off the scale so best be prepaired also have a starten chain just incase then you can atleast have some pull start ya quick on the diesel side.
