|

hi guys
please give this one some thought as i have been wasting my time till now
my mog has a om621 4 pot diesel in it, the mog still uses the om starter this will not turn the diesel fast enough to start
i thought that my starter was old and shot so borrowed 2 of Steve b these do about the same amount of turns before getting slow and hot
i phoned westfield today as they have a reconditioned starter for sale the chap said my problem was that i am trying to start a diesel engine with a petrol engine starter, what a fool i am, the petrol engine is about 10:1 the diesel is about 20:1
so what i need is a starter that fits the mog box but i more powerful any ideas
a bit long winded but hope it explains what i want
thank you David

i know it sounds stupid but have you checked your getting fuel to the injectors mine turns over slow but it fires up within a couple of turns i had a problem a couple of weeks ago with crap in the filterbowl causing fuel starvation i cleened it out but it wouldnt start untill i refiled the filter housing bled the pump then all the injectors then she fires up better than ever

yes there is fuel,
its not that it wont start its just that it doesn't turn over fast enough or long enough to start, if i tow it it starts OK

Diesel G Wagon?
Ask the mog mailing list, or even benzworld. There's a few more dieselers on there.
