I pleased to see that you TEF starts the same as mine, just takes a little time. Happy New year to you and yours.

Heat man you need heat.

Looking at the video I think the way that the Ki gas is supposed to work is you heat up the glowplug in the inlet for about 20 seconds and then start up the engine. Then start pumping the Ki gas in. The spray flows over the hot glowplug and ignites into the cylinder head. Or at least that works for me. Oh... and stay away from easy start as it can blow out the piston rings on these old vehicles

Also use the decompression handle. I know I live in Scotland and its bloody colder up here. We've had one since new !!!! I was taught on it.

Good video mate, keep up the good work

[@AliMackMechanical]

Nice one mate good wee project 👍

You also need to press in the excess fuel button.

Pointless using the Ki gas , until the glow plug been switched on for 10 seconds, then crank over the engine and hand pump the ki gas at the same time.

Morning Robin happy new year to you, just re watching a few videos! Just wondered if this one still over at the airfield moving planes or if you have it back? My TEF is the same starting wise I'm going through it doing jobs slowly and the cold start is next on list!!

I would leave those wheels on her"! Looks great as she is, I have four Tef 20s All diesel plus one is a P3" and two of them came to me with the same wheels as yours there, ! your tractor tries very well to start asap"! Have you checked the heater plug in the centre of the induction manifold,? Looks like that would help you for better starting,!
