Here’s what the IT shop manual has to say about M Diesels—yours will be almost the same:
“International Diesel engines are started on ordinary gasoline after first closing the Diesel engine throttle and pulling the compression release lever. Pulling the compression release lever accomplishes four things: A starting valve in each engine cylinder is opened, thereby enlarging the combustion chamber and reducing the compression ratio to approximately 6.4 to 1. It closes two butterfly valves in the Diesel air intake manifold, and allows air to pass through the starting carburetor. The magneto or battery ignition electrical circuit is completed by opening of the grounding switch which is located in the forward portion of the intake manifold. It releases the float in the carburetor, allowing the carburetor inlet needle to be actuated by the float.
After the engine runs on gasoline approximately one minute, the engine is switched over to full Diesel operation by releasing the compression release mechanism and at the same time opening the Diesel engine throttle. Releasing the compression release mechanism opens the manifold butterfly valves, closes the cylinder head starting valves, locks the carburetor needle valve on its seat and closes the magneto or battery ignition grounding switch.
