I never ever saw it on a Diesel UNLESS you used a Can of ether ..but that would meant that you are really ****** and Stupid....
Agree. Unless it was a 2 cycle diesel then maybe.

I have seen a diesel run in reverse when trying to start and it doesn't quit fire until the last spin. Interesting in that it gives you 3 reverse gears and 1 forward gear. Air filter starts getting hot as well (cushman truckster diesel)
