no start problem

[89Laredo]

Diesel on a rag doesn't make enough combustible fumes. Gas on a rag is what you were thinking of.
Hope you have a starter button so you can stand by the engine and pull the rag off before it runs away or gets sucked into the intake. ... seriously, just give it a shot of ether or fix your glowplugs. Either one is not rocket science.

And by now you may have damaged the starter with all the cranking, a few less cranking rpm's will make a big difference.
One very small shot of starting fluid in the inlet, leave the filter in, it will help disperse ether evenly, is all it should take.
GET THE GLOW PLUGS WORKING.

I can't understate this enough. PROPERLY WORKING GLOW PLUGS ARE ESSENTIAL WITH A MOOSE PUMP. Our pumps put out nearly max fuel at cranking RPM's. That's enough fuel to EXTINGUISH any compression heat you think you are building. Don't waste your time by doing anything other than getting your glow plugs working!
