There isn’t any smoke at all when trying to turn it over. I’m draining the diesel out at the minute and putting in fresh stuff.
Going to take it to mates workshop next week and look to clean that exhaust valve up.

Cheers folks.

General Discussion / Can’t get recently bought LD1 to start

Hello,

A month ago I bought a Lister LD1 engine as I wanted to have a wee project for something to work on over the winter. I’ve never owned any of these types of engines before so I am a newbie.
I collected the engine and it started ok I brought it home and I started it fine. But since then I haven’t been able to get it started at all. I’ve watched videos on line to check I am following the correct procedure.
It’s leaking diesel through the exhaust which I’m told isn’t a big deal. There is an injection creak and I turn the handle about 10 times and it doesn’t fire. I did this about 20 times and it still wouldn’t fire. I made sure I didn’t start it on a cold day either it’s about 7.c so pretty warm. Is anyone able to give me any tips on how to get this engine going again?
