so the torch on the engine is what and is that just pretty much the first creation of a glow plug?

Thats some serious old-school cool. If you did not know any better and walked up to it and looked at it you woud say "Hey, The starter is missing!" and if it is , its bacause "HE" is on his coffee break!!!

@tangyedan So dose it have an injector or dose it suck the fuel in via a carb like a petrol engine?
-
@douro20 thanks!
i learn something every day!

Bolinder/Munktell made ones that could run 2200 rpm. They had a jerk-type pump like a solid-injection diesel engine but low compression so they needed preheat to run.
-
thank goodness for the electric motor
-
Not as good as diesel because the compression is low.
But very well suited to good clean Veg oil.

Man i love this engine the noise is perfect
@rushymoto - It has an injector. Only low pressure, so more or a sprayer really.

what is a Semi-Diesel Engine?

@NearAbbeyRoad See the other comments below. Basically semi-diesel is surface ignition (rather than compression ignition like a full diesel) relying on the hot bulb to ignite the charge, hence the need for a blowlamp for starting.

I should have noted in the description that it was filmed in late December and it was less than 5 degrees c. in the shed!
