Petter Diesel Water Pumping Set

Here is a video of my latest creation. I bought this Petter diesel engine some time ago and it had sat in someone's garden for over 2 years. It was soon running again and I smartened it up a little. Soon after I was given a brand new water pump and so I decided to build a water pumping set.

The engine is a 1984-1986 Petter AD1 direct injection compression ignition (diesel) engine with single cylinder and overhead valves. The engine produces 3.4HP at 1500RPM (over 8HP can be extracted from this little diesel with a new governor spring!!!!) and the engine is running at about 1000 revs here so is carrying about 2HP.

The pump is a Hardi 603 diaphragm type pump and is designed for pumping water and oil. It can pump up to 30 litres per minute at 800RPM and can run with up to 15BAR pressure....pretty impressive!

I hope you enjoy the video, I do apologise for the one dark clip, I accidentally deleted it and had to re make it.

Enjoy....

you live in the same complex as photonicinduction ?

same type of yard and fence

[steamwally]

No....I dare say I am many miles away.....

Hmmm. I would sort that stop lever out without delay, I and a friend were working on an old diesel a while ago and narowly avoided a nasty accident with that and a belt getting jammed in the flywheel whilst belt starting a small engine, the stop switch saved the day....

@steamwally Yes, When I push it the down the engine slows and if it`s cold it will turn of (Fuel lever). Thanks I know about the de-compressor. I shut down the engine from the intake with my hand because the stop lever doesn`t work. I want to take off the Petter from the mixer and take a video, because the mixer is under a stairs and it is dificult to take it outside.

Your engine could be different to my AD1, I have seen a few variations. If the lever will stay down then that is correct but if the sprig makes it return to the same possition then I would imagine that is correct. Move it with the engine running, mine will missfire and slow down if it is on execess fuel.

You want the de compressor engauged (no compression) whilst cranking fast and then when you think it is turning fast enough, push the lever all the way down (full compression) and it starts.

@steamwally I went to the garage to check my petter levers and mine is with a spring inside keep it self always up (fuel lever) so when the engine is running I want to keep it down? Even the de-compreser, I want to keep it when I am starting the engine on half compression and then it keeps down. I am the same age of you 16

@steamwally

Yes that helps a lot!

[steamwally]

Thank you, the running on load has helped to settle it down.

[hanomagman]

Very nice!

Starts well and runs better than before!



[steamwally]

Thanks, I have tried that bit if anything it was worse. I just have to keep the water level down and it's ok.
