The flame from a Tiger torch [ heavy duty propane torch ] placed directly in the intake will usually get an engine going .But not always, as the very cold steel of the engine will suck away the heat of the flame .
I've used coffee cans with about 2 inches of diesel in them , set alight and placed under the engine for 20 minutes or so .
There is a very real danger of fire , but ,placed under the sump, it will heat up the engine block enough to allow the engine to start .
A 4 foot length of stove pipe and a Tiger torch is better .
