Upon inspection, the engine was found to have the following:

Based on my experience with my Onan DJE Diesel Generator, I tried to start it as follows.

That got the engine started. It purred for about a minute "hunting" for a good speed. Finally it settled at some idle speed and ran.

Note on videos

On the videos, for some reason, the sound "cuts out" at some point during the video. It is the fault of my camera, the engine does not stop when you stop hearing sound.
