So MANY Thanks!!!!! Can you recommend a good commercial fuel in the US, or a good "recipe"?

A great old engine and a fine tribute to Gig Thank you for posting

Excellent

Great demo

You said, that the fuel level must be a Little bit under the the carburetor but not to low. Whats going on, if you are climbing, nose up with the airplane?? Thanks!

A 4-cycle PAW would be lovely.

First class demonstration, thank you very much

Great engine! I would love to buy a paw 60-2 tbr for my little project :)

I have three .55's bought through the late Eric Clutton. What size prop are you running in this video? I have run mine on everything from a 5X3 to a 6-4. 5X3 seems to make the most power, with the larger props giving a better idle.

Awesome video. I was cleaning my work room the other day, and came across some used diesels I got several years ago. One of them is the .55. I got it running yesterday after a bit too much fiddling. Very excited to find this video. Can't wait to get out and try it again! Looking forward to showing up at my field with some diesel powered planes next summer. :)

Fantastic engine,you sent me one about four years ago with rc throttle it’s so easy to start ,use it in a half wave from 1954 ,sport high wing three channel,it always gets more interest than just another electric clone at the field. You are much appreciated,thanks.

Brilliant video! I've had so many mixed and frustrating sessions trying to start diesels over the years with only occasional sucesses. Definitely gonna try your method and ace it! Thanks!

oor auld girl is clapped oot.

I used this video as a guide to starting my PAW diesels. It works.

Warms my heart to see this Chris <big smile>

Amazing engine great history from England's premier model engine manufacturers... Thanks for posting

I would be hard pressed to think of any other item, I've come across in life, where one manufacturers product seemed so far ahead of its competitors. Your Dad's product transformed our experiences from a miserable catalogue of frustrations, failures and expensive breakages to an actual viable hobby. I may have to route out my 1975 pedigree 0.090" 1.5 cc ; I know the whereabouts at my Fathers house, it still hides. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

Great Tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You !!!!!

I acquired a PAW .15 FF/CL last weekend, that - usual story - had sat around for ages not run, and the fellow who had it said he wasn't sure if it was any good, it was all seized, etc etc. Well thanks, I said, I'll see if i could get it going, thanks very much.. I did not know it was a PAW at the time but suspected so, and confirmed on Sceptreflight's very helpful site when I got home. That led me to this video - which is really nicely done and I enjoyed it thoroughly. So it wasn't even siezed, just gummy stiff. One capful of nitrate thinner down the intake and a shot in the cylinder, and a few wiggles of the prop later it turned over fine with a nice pop. So later this afternoon, it was time to have a go at it, having mounted it up for running last night. Filled the tank, opened the needle 2-3/4 turns, the compression was stuck but not siezed and was a bit high but ok. Three turns of the prop with the intake choked, two drops in the intake and turned it over slowly once, and then gave it a hearty flip. Holy mackerel - instant running! So today was my first ever one flip diesel start, never thought that was going to happen but I was hopeful, and prepared, after watching this. Wow what a sweet handling diesel it is, well done folks. It is below freezing outside BTW, so no tach readings and only about 2 minutes run time total in two short runs. But I ran the compression up and down then settled on a slightly rich and under-compressed setting for "whee fun" running. After the first tank ran out (a very small Perfect tank), I refueled, choke flipped, and got an instant replay of the first start. So.. surprised and delighted I was to find out it handled just like you show here! I now find myself fantasizing about a .60 TBR R/C.

Good, init . I need more practice too, to meet that standard.

We used to refer to too much compression as running hard. Too little running soft. When in a model you have to set the mixture a tad rich because it leans out in flight. Great tutorial. I'll have to get my old PAW 1.49 running soon

hi, come on only one video!! could watch this all day! saves me getting mine out. cheers alan.

Just started my .55 for the first time after watching this video, excellent tutorial but you missed the bit about how much diesel fuel stings in a prop cut!

Yes, Genesis, Wishbone Ash, Focus and P.A.W. The sound tracks of my youth :) So fortunate to live in Macclesfield the home of Progress Aero Works :)

Thanks for posting this video. Taught me a thing or two about clearing out the excess fuel when it’s flooded.

Thanks for the video! I've just started using my PAW 1.49 in a model, and will experiment with the techniques shown. I think I'm over fuelling at the moment>

make a proper exhaust stack for this engine.. or else it will be an oily mess..

Thanks for that . Starts good when you understand what your doing

thanks a lot! very nice video, a paw 55 was my first diesel engine, i got it from Mr. Clutton some years ago. Can you make a video about RC carburator? had troble with my PAW 100, when go from slow to hi seems to fail, as get rich and stop... Thanks and keep going!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you, Tony.
