In the last year I have gotten a MM U302. There is no information on its past. Looks fairly good.
Started easily all summer. In fall I drained and replaced the oil and filter. Put in 10W-30. Tested the battery and it showed good.
Now that cold weather has arrived I wanted to use it for snow plowing as it has a 10' Hydro-turn blade. It doesn't want to start. Slow turn over and no fire. Jumping to the battery helps some but still slow turn over. Sometimes gets it started. Junping to the starter helps spin it faster but then has trouble fireing.
In the summer it started at idle with no choke, now ? ? ? Nothing seems to help. Battery still tests good and the lights don't dim when I use the starter. The battery is next to the drivers seat in the cab.
Can't use an engine heater as the parking location has no electricity.
My 12v Ford 640 at the same location starts easily and I have been using it to jump the MM but plowing with its 6' blade takes a lot longer.
Any ideas on where I should start on the MM? Thanks in advance.
