Cranking Speed Check

Tools required:  J26999 Compression Gauge

Cranking speed is critical for a diesel to start, either hot or cold. Some tachometers are not accurate at cranking speed. Below is an alternative method of
checking cranking speed or determining the accuracy of a tachometer.

1.

Screw J26999-30 into any cylinder and connect J26999 gauge.

2.

Disconnect the fuel solenoid fuse (F/SOL).

3.

Install the digital tachometer to be checked (if desired).
