I have a late seventies Deutz 6206 with a FL912 4 cylinder air cooled diesel engine. It doesn�t have glow-plugs but what looks to me a little heating device which heats up a little bit of diesel fuel. The device is located at the top front of the engine. It is a little cylinder of about 1 and a quarter inch in diameter and 2 inches high. The device takes about 3-4 minutes to get to hot to touch It has a (fuel) line from the fuel pump and a (fuel) line to another little device. This looks to me like a little injector. It is located in the duct which inserts air into the cylinders. After the previously mentioned 3-4 minutes of pre-heating, when I then crank the engine, it turns over and blue smoke is coming out of the exhaust system but the engine doesn�t start.<br>
I have two big batteries cranking the starter, so that shouldn�t be the problem. I changed the oil to 15/40 and the machine doesn�t have a �handy� oil pan for a oil pan heater. It is all heavy duty steel. I would like to avoid heating contraptions. I once tried to start it while forcing hot air into the air intake but to no avail. I assume that this tractor wasn�t built by the Germans for only sunny days to use. It should be able to withstand some chilly days. I hear that Deutz is popular in Scandinavia and Poland. <br>
By the way, it was around freezing. Not even that cold. It started fine this fall and summer.<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
Thanks,<br>
