84 Diesel

I just got a diesel 250 and it is now having trouble starting. I was told this site is the one to ask for help. I got it started once but then it will not. I will turn over but I have tried everything I can think of. Any help will be great. Love the site so far. Thanks

I believe there's a diesel engine forum on here. You might get more eyeballs.

Are the glowplugs working? You can also like was suggested, go to the pre-powerstroke forum on this board. There are 100's of posts with these engines not starting. That seems to be the really common failure of the diesel, is the system to get it started.
