Mine had a frozen cable when I bought it, I cut the cable off and I can use the valve by hand right now, I needed it to bleed the lines the other day.
Just for the fun of it I used it to cold start and it seemed to start much better than normal by hitting the glow plugs, spinning it with the valve opened, and then closing at have about 1.5-2 seconds.
Is this a safe way to cold start, or maybe even a standard way?
I have had bikes, quads and saws with them before to make starting easier, but that's about it.
