I'm having some trouble getting the thing to start. I'm charging the battery now - I'll spare the details but I somehow switched my battery charger off last night and didn't get much of a charge on the battery.

But with the charge I did have, I got the engine to crank over after cycling the glowplugs, and it would run for a second- just a couple of revs, and then die.

My cold start device is disconnected because it's stuck, so I set the IP timing around .97.

I know that because I unscrewed the plug on the IP to set the timing, I'll have a bit more crank time, but just how much crank time is normal?
