Cold weather, slow crank, won't start. Battery? Block Heater?

mercredi 7 janvier 2015

I have a Komatsu PC-50, recently acquired, so I'm still getting to know it.



This morning was cold (5-10 F). I did the normal glow plug warm up, then tried cranking it. It cranks very slow, and no start.



Usually/Nomarlly - (when cold) it will crank slow a few times, then speed up and then start. But, this morning, it would never crank fast enough to get started.



I have been using Diesel Power Service in the fuel.



Any suggestions? I was going to run out and grab a block heater. How about the battery?

I was trying to avoid buying a battery if it's not the actual problem.



thanks
