Hello all,
This seems to be a common topic lately however I didnt want to muddy anyone else's thread. I am having to give a little pedal when starting my 92 Cummins truck and I wanted to know what are your thoughts as to why. When I try and start it without giving it any pedal it will start but it seems to be running very low RPM and wants to die. I believe the previous owner disconnected the grid heater so I am sure that might help, but it will do it even when its 60*F outside. I am not 100% certain my mix but its close to 80/20 oil/gas mixed 50/50 with diesel.
How much will getting the grid heater help?
Is the oil too thick? its pretty thin IMO compared to what we run in my fathers 98 Cummins
Is raising the idle common practice with WMO?
Do I need to plug in the block heater?
Thank you for any feedback
