-17C cold start this morning

[zozie]

Well I'm surprised it started
It sat for 2 days without plugging it in. Injector and pump were rebuilt by Performance diesel 2 years ago. 15-40 oil, 4 year old battery.

Sorry for the quality but I just grabbed my phone to see if I can record it. I had to put it down to pull the cold start lever cause I just couldn't pull it before cranking the engine.

seems its time for a new battery again That was a bit rough lol but she runs good and strong!

Yeah that battery is almost dead I think but I haven't been driving it a lot either.

thats the worst thing you can do to a battery.. let it sit.

it must have a hell of a good engine to start while being cranked that slow

I had it up in Sudbury, ON last January It started in -27c (!). That was not so easy tho I'm thinking of going 0-40 Synthetic but I have a very small leak from a crank seal and I'm afraid it won't be so slight with synthetic......
