I HAVE A MID 80TEES TOYOTA 2FD-30 WITH A 4CYL DIESEL ENGINE!.IM HAVING STARTING PROBS WITH IT.THE FORK LIFT WILL NOT START WITH THE GLOW PLUGS OR EITHER!.THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO START IS IF I PUT DIESEL IN THE INTAKE THEN IT TAKES A BIT BUT WILL FIRE UP AND RUN GOOD.I CAN SHUT IT OFF AND TRY TO START A MIN LATER AND IT WILL NOT START UNLESS I PRIME INTAKE AGAIN..I WAS THINKING I HAD BAD RINGS ON ONE OR 2 CYL,BUT THE MACHINE RUNS GREAT WHEN IT DOES START!.HAS 5700 HRS ON IT!.ALSO AFTER I PRIME IT AND IT DOES START SEEMS TO SMOKE LIKE A TAR PIT TILL IT WARMS UP.THEN THE MACHINE RUNS AND WORKS GREAT TILL I SHUT IT DOWN...

TO CHECK COMPRESSION IS IT JUST REMOVING THE INJECTORS AND TESTING FOR COMPRESSION AS I WOULD ON A GASOLINE ENGINE?...

PLEASE LMK IF ANYONE OUT THERE MAY WORK ON THESE!...

THANKS..
