Are working glowplugs ESSENTIAL to cold startup on a 30degC day? Comp ratio abt 22:1, Riccardo motor.

Update:

ST3 Lister @ 16:1 doesn't need/have glowplugs, but hand starts readily on 10 DEg C days, what the heck is going on? my indirect motor is 23:1 but won't fire without plugs? you gotta be kidding me.

    all diesels require glow plugs to start especially on cold days. Will not start without preheating.
