Guys,
I have an NHC 250 engine in a civilian truck - it requires either to get
it started even when it is warm outside. It does not have glow plugs.
It had an ether quick start kit installed on it when I got it. The
military NHC 250s seem to have a preheater installed on them with a glow
plug and a spray nozzle of some sort in the intake manifold.
Is it normal to have to ether these engines even when it is warm outside
- like 70 degrees? Once I get the engine running - even if I shut it
off for a couple of hours - it will easily restart. But ether is
required the first time each day. Not a lot, just a one second spray in
the top of the stack.
The engine runs well - no smoking at all. And that is without a turbo.
Dave
