Hows the old diesel going now? Have you managed to sort the starting difficulties?
My old Petter diesel was very hard to start but now it's running on a pump set, the load has de glazed the bore and it now starts with a couple of swings.
Mabey your engine just needs a run on load for an hour or two.

Hi, Have you got new rings for the engine?? It needs more compression, and then it will start better. Have a look see on my profile and see the Southern Cross diesel get searted up, there is anouther video of the first start up in 40 years on engineteens profile.
Cheers and good luck with your engines.

@TheEnginecollector Hi thanks for you comment.
It has new rings, sleave, new valves and the seats lapped in. I dont know its compression at the moment but it probably could be higher.

Give it a good long run to bed the rings in. You did hone the bore before you put them in didn't you?
