It's Sucking fuel. It's Burning the Prime.

Do you have a nice Kick Back / Knock when you turn it over with the glow plug lit?

Have you tried... from needle closed to needle dropping out?

PM me if you need the wenches (wrenches)

The TD .09, in my experience, is the most user friendly of all the TD's
