Will it jump a large diesel engine?

I don't really know, but it jumped an 18 year old Tahoe V8 350 that was completely dead on the first try.

I've yet to try it on a large diesel, all I can say is that it's very strong and I've gott'n multipul starts on cold large engins.

Haven't used it in a diesel, but don't see why that would matter. It's purpose is to embed in the moving parts in the lower part of the engine. It has worked very well in my vintage Corvette. Had some minor piston slap on starting cold. That appears to be gone after adding XADO to crankcase.

It will but u would have to change more thing's to the drive train . It's extremely ruff as well .

I use it on a gas motor and it works fine. I can not think of why it would not work for diesel.

I did not install the kit due to battery cost (more than the motor kit) but, considering most motors are 350 - 500 watt, and we're talking rolling stock, it could propel any weight, the factors would be elevation, time to achieve and battery power.

Sure will,I have 2 AGM's on my Dodge Cummins diesel and was able to jump it twice in one day on one charge when my alternator failed.

I would not bet on it. The only time that I tried this was on a diesel pick up truck with a jump start battery pack helping it and I still didn't get it started. What worked was a battery charger with a built in engine starter. This porta jump seems weaker than advertized...just my experience.

I dont think so, I'm sure its not designed for it. i doubt it has enough power anyway its a one cylinder engine. I've nearly gotten stuck in shallow sand,as it just tends to dig itself in.

I am sure it would. We had a 6cyl VW diesel and that took A LOT of power to start - regular jump-n-carry couldn't handle it but This little gadget handled it beautifully. So I would guess it would work on a regular gas cars.I also did a research on the more powerful Jump-starters and THIS one came highly recommended by truck users.

I dont see why it would'nt. Its worked on cars trucks and eveny 4 stroke boat engines.

Yes I have one in a diesel and one in a gas tank. Just need to check if it will work with your gauge.

the wires that come with it that you hook up to car battery will melt after a few seconds. dont forget to disconnect one battery terminal before jumping. id say that is a hell of a punch, so who cares what the spec s are. it started my semi diesel engine in about 3 seconds. first i unhooked both 1200 cold cranking amp batterys. kick ass wow.

It should be able to jump start any 12-volt vehicle. Make sure to keep it charged when not being used.

The item's description only says gasoline engines. I don't believe that this compression tester could withstand the extra compression of a diesel engine.

It works ok on gas engines, but the oil must be hot. Not much oil left behind. Not recomended for Diesel engines or boat stern drives.

Yes it will. Be very careful when you pull the hydraulic lines thru the hull etc. don't cut them too short. Leave slack for movement.
