Ya I've got an old jacobson zero turn 3 cyl. Diesel mower. Having a lot of problems getting it to start. Broke the injectors loose and it appears to be getting plenty of gas. No obvious air restrictions and sounds like it has plenty of compression. Also turns over quick. Would bad glow plugs make it not start in 100 degree weather? Wiring is pretty shotty throughout but turns over great. Any suggestions...
