CS cold starting porn.
« on: November 15, 2007, 03:20:14 PM »
I was out playing with the D in the workshop today, stripping and cleaning the "carburettors" (in quotes because it ain't exactly like a Holly 4bbl...lol) which I was doing a dodgy video of by request, so I thought, handycam in hand, let's start the old Start-o-matic so the americans can see what it's all about.

Now...

1/ It's been sat outside for a year.
2/ Hasn't been started for at least 3 months.
3/ Watch the sequence, crank on decompressor, realise I've left the glass on top of the exhaust stack (to keep rain out) remove glass, then manually open rack from closed position, fires up first injection event.
4/ alternator disconnected, servicing the bearings see, so belts off.
5/ governor linkage disconnected.
6/ bit of low speed running.
7/ sat on blocks, not mounted properly on concrete.
8/ little bit of pushrod rotation and rocker action.
9/ open rack fully from low rpm to see how she smokes (stale pump diesel)
10/ bit of just about full rpm running.
11/ shut down decompressor and watch her idle down, 70 seconds to come to a stop.
12 note handycam accentuates mechanical noises, listen to the breather "chuff" to get a feel.

Video currently uploading to google video (NOT youtube) fairly high quality, 640 x 480 and just under 7 minutes in length.

will post link as follow up as soon as upload is complete

OK, tis uploaded, Google video says it may take a few hours to go "Live" so I can't link directly to it yet.

But, go to http://video.google.co.uk and do a search for (with the quotation marks) "Lister SC Start-o-matic cold start"

oops, typo in the title, Lister SC indeed.

when it goes live, this following link will work.

Guy,

Could you share what it is that you have to retain the gib key?
Does the key work loose?
Thanks for any info.

Just a "jubilee" (hose) clip.

Pin hasn't moved, just a belt and braces thing, got it from my dad, gramps used to use leather.

Man another vid. that makes me want some heavy wheels. :D
These light weight ones out of India make starting a little more work, need more speed to get thru the compression stroke.

Red flywheels, (nice and smooth running engine by the way!)  They are the exact same colour my radiator fan was painted!  Now I know what colour to get to replicate the original look.  Tnx.
