Pony motor is a gas engine, used as a warmer & starter. The pony motor exhaust dumps into the diesel exhaust, to help heat up the cylinders. After it runs a bit, you open the compression release, & engage the starter, once the diesel gets to spinning, you close the compression relief & hope it cranks up. If not, try again! [where's that either bomb?]Basically the pony motor spins the diesel til it gets warm, then you turn on the fuel and turn off the compression release til the diesel starts right? I have seen them started but it’s been a long time.
