Will It Start? 1960's Mack Diesel Truck sitting 10 Years....

[@AnnihilationOnNation]

After you get it fired up on starter fluid use spray lube to keep it running this way you don’t dry out rings. Diesels won’t start on spray lube but will run on it. We do it when getting old tractors running.

[@wyattearp4081]

i think hey may already have done that lol

[@PapaBear816]

seeing as he's quit on one truck.. and semi quitting on another... This would most likely be more then he could handle.. he just doesn't realize it. I mean that last cab over he put so much into and said in the end he got in over his head with all it needed..... what do you think something like this would end up being?

Annihilation, I have actually started an old Perkins Diesel on WD40 before, I agree, That's much better than starting fluid. Some times, it takes starting fluid to get an engine that been sitting for a long time to start .
