My B7100 14-1500 hours has always been hard to start. I have replaced the glow plugs , the resistor coil in the dash gave up so it was replaced.
Now the coil in the dash that glows red doesn't work again.
Have any of you found a good "work around" that will work any better than the resistor coil in the dash?
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks !!

I have a B7100 as well and it was allways hard to start, I put a hot wire from the battery right to a toggle switch from there to the glow plugs, by passed everything else, did help, going thru the switch I only had 8 volts or so going to my glow pugs, now I have the full 12 volts
