There's no throttle on a diesel engine, only a speed control, which is connected to the governor speed control, that many people call a throttle.
This made me chuckle. How does a hair dryer have any affect on an engine that's a couple of hundred pounds of cold cast iron?
It doesn't heat the engine block, it heats the air. The warmer air helps the fuel vaporize which makes it easier to start. It is also unlikely that @Tally Ho is trying to start his engine in subzero temps, so a little heat might well make a big difference in starting.
I hear you, but I'd be shocked if it really made a difference. Once that thing starts cranking, and breathing gallons and gallons of air, how does the little bit of warm air in the manifold to start make a difference, and how would a hair dryer keep up with warming the air that this engine is breathing? I call B.S. on this.
