    According to this Chamberlain manual

    http://antiquetractors6.blogspot.com...6.html'm=1

    the Perkins 6-306 is a direct injection engine, with a fuel burning heater in the inlet manifold. This is probably why it starts easier.

    Darkside, might pay to check your vernier callipers are calibrated/zeroed, as the jaws line up nearer to 18mm, so that 11.96 mm dia looks to be an inaccurate reading.

    You're right - faulty memory! I have never used the cold start provision in my tractor - it starts immediately even below zero.

    Doesn't the "glow" start only work when activated, not with every start. Cheers, Mick.

    Depends on the engine, but yes, that is the case for the Rover engine.

    Yep - I tried again and got closer to 17 with the callipers and the piece of paper. Thanks for reminding me about the zero. Don't use them all that often.
