Thanks for the help.
Jens, how are you turning the engine over, with a starter or by hand? I' only turning by hand and may not be getting enough to start it. My arm is sore clear up to my shoulder from trying to turn this thing!!!

Again, Thanks for all the help.

Allways by hand, flipped 2-3 turn before the engine starts after careful priming. The Dieselengines do not like too much priming who are difficult to start. If too much priming, back off compression screw and start up the engine until all flooded fuel are burned away.

When the engine are ready adjusted and running nice.
Remember this:

COLD START = HOT RUNNING SETTING PLUS 1/4 TO 3/4 TURN IN OF COMP. SCREW.

HOT RE-START = HOT RUNNING SETTING LESS 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN OUT OF COMP. SCREW.
