This happened with the Belarus 562 on the farm.
The last time I had it running prior to yesterday was about late September of last year. It was slow to start (crank a longer time). This was unusual for it.
Yesterday, went to start it to brush mow. A month ago when I was here, put the charger on the batteries for a couple of hours.
Temperatures in the 80s. Ran the glow plugs a little. I cranked and cranked it. Seemed like it would never start until finally it did catch a little. Next crank it took off racing and I pulled the shut off as I got scared it was running away. It did this 3-4 more times until finally it settled down and appeared to run normally.
At that point, put the mower on and mowed for a while.
This is a 4 cyl diesel and "old skool" tech I am sure. What could be going on with it?
I hope this does not repeat over the next few days as I am hoping to use it to drag some logs from downed trees away.
Could old fuel have any role? The fuel in it and in the barrel is probably 8yrs old or so. It looks OK for what that is worth.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
