When the engine start to die he manually operate the dieselpump to feed the engine. The pump has to be set at a minimum at startup to prevent the engine from start picking up speed that will pump even more fuel that will accelerate the engine more and more. This is dangerus

When he "tunes it" he adds more and more fuel to the engine for each stroke by giving the dieselpump more swing untill he no longer has to feed it manually once in while...

Then the engine runs smooth at low Rpm's.

You need to cut a hole in the flywheel guard so we can see the thing turning.

Veldig bra, det er utrolig morsomt å se at det gamle er eldst og at dette sitter i fingrene på en fagmann!
