brings back memories,, standing on the local station,, listening for the whistling of the exhaust,, and betting it was a pair of 20's or a 40.... bring back the good old days
That didn't start with too much difficulty. To say that it hasn't run for 3 years shows what a marvelous piece of engineering it was in the first place. Plus, obviously, the skill and patience of the ELR engineers. Nice one lads!
Sounds like he's increasing the individual cylinder injector jerk pump to clean out the injectors. He could also be opening a test cock that opens into the exhaust to check compression. I'd bet on the former.
What a nice chopper!

When the fitter has his hand in the engine checking each cylinder, is he increasing the fueling on a particular cylinder or decompressing it?

Yes hes individually increasing fuel rack position for each injector to make sure the cylinder in question is firing.
