Starting Lombardini LD 315 Diesel Engine

Pull starting a LD 315 Lombardini diesel engine in my shed.

Its been stood untouched for about 5 years after I bought it from ebay on a whim so I'm surprised it started at all. Its not bolted down and so I had to stand on it to get enough pull to get the thing going and even then I almost fell over and impaled my self on random debris lying about the place.

As you can see its a bit smokey but runs OK.

Looks like the thing needs a crank.

Well, that's one way to do it.

I really like the sound of that thing! Put it in a rigid frame and make a bobber out of it.
