No John, it just relies on squashing that diesel vapour. There is of course the water jacket heater that I could use but at the moment it's off and the engine still fires up on the first cranking - possibly slightly more black smoke than on a warmer day but it's marginal.

There's always Eazi-start.... :clap:

I always preferred the Australian name for that stuff: "Start ya bastard!" :lol:
mattinker:
If it starts, it doesn't need anything ! Definitely no easy start!!
awemawson:
Easy start always has to be an absolute last resort. It can do all sorts of damage to the piston lands above the top ring, breaking them.
As for the Dorman, there really doesn’t seem any need at all :thumbup:
( I have used Easystart to reseat tyre beads, in fact come to think about it it was on my last big generator, an Agrecko that I used for the Induction Furnace)
