AD21 won't start

may have got lost in translation...'brew' meaning 'cup of tea'....

Brew for breakfast? I really need to get over there. These are my kind of folk.

Haha just coffee or tea I’m afraid.

I’ll point you to Kevin’s (Pitou) signature for future reference otherwise

Ah, yes...Lost in Translation...Of course I was thinking of Starbucks, not merely tea. Then again, our tea isn't anything like your tea. Long ago, my young bride and I took a trip to visit Victoria. We took in what we could on our limited budget and thought it might be fun to go the the Empress for High Tea. WOOHOO! Tea and little sandwiches in the afternoon. 10 bucks, tops! HA! I forget the actual CDN number but it might as well have been $1000 to us. We settled for low tea at a pub with fish and chips, and a BREW.

To be fair - your coffee isn’t like our coffee.

I once sent Dave Marciano a packet of decent coffee as he was promoting death wish coffee (tastes like floor sweepings). I think he enjoyed the Talyors High Voltage.

A further update. After all my efforts, engine runs nicely but 'cold start' button still refuses to engage. Got her started by jamming a bit of wood between the throttle lever and the button, but obviously not ideal, so followed the lead as shown earlier in this thread and modded the inlet manifold with two glowplugs. An adjustable timer relay wired direct to the ignition switch (set at about 30 seconds) fires another 70amp capable relay to light the plugs, and yesterday morning at ambient temp about +4c she fired on the second attempt. That'll do me

Glad to hear it worked out for you. A simple modification that updates an older but reliable motor. Can't ask for more.

thanks for the guidance dkirsop (Dave?) What these forums are all about.
