When I said "timing" I was not meaning injection/engine timing of any sort. I was talking about the time delay the electronics do for the glowplugs and manifold heater. Which perhaps is directly related to the amp reading on the shunt. That was the pondering. Cheers

Thanks Soda. Copper bar from the start. I haven't had time to rig up my volt read setup yet...other more important stuff has arisen and I haven't touched the old girl since. Sorry to all for the delay....it will happen and I'll post results when it does. I used to have a 40 and did much the...

"body cavities" yeah yeah...not mine all you smartpants....the cruiser's! :)

Some further info as I slowly progress along trying to fix this. But it's not urgent and I can't currently spend too much time on it. I still haven't logged volts anywhere, as I'm going to set up multiple readings into my logging systems I use for my work. That said, I've also noticed some...

Thanks Rosco, other things have cropped up and I haven't set up a voltage check on cold start yet. But I am intrigued with the 12v-11v plugs, which maybe are meant for the 24V systems? It is definitely one of those odd things that is confusing........let's see people put a globe for an old...

I can't edit as yet so some further info. Local ambients for me at worst are only a little below 0° C occasionally during winter. Today on startup it was about 1 and I noticed a very short run (about 3 seconds) of brighter illumination on my dash rail indicator and then it dropped back...

Forum Newbie here. Came to the forum to ask another question and saw this topic. I have an 82ish HJ60 with the 2H with an aftermarket turbo. One thing that hasn't been answered here is: Have you checked the exhaust system? Many people concentrate on getting air INTO the motor and...
