Took care of a c66 for about 2 years.I would service it every couple of months and used to start it with a crank like yours. The day came to disconnect the pumpjack. And met the gauger he handed me a 12 volt electric starter. He said here, this goes with the unit . All This Time I would start it with this Crank!!! Oh well, Nice motor.
Took care of many C -96 Continental Emsco engines in west Texas oilfields for 32 years. We considered it one of the best gas engines. 👍👍👍 All went to electric motors as I retired from the patch.
There was one like this outside of Hendersonville NC in the early 80s that ran a sawmill. Then, it was out in the middle of nowhere, the location is now a huge subdivision.
SpiritsoftheWolf well is probably a low producer, and just pumps off if you run it any more than that, just wearing out the downhole pump and pumping unit needlessly. Just my guess
Jerry Wick Agreed. Also, just for people not in the know, "pumps off" means that the fluid in the downhole reservoir is low. Think of it like drinking a glass of water that refilled itself, but refilled slower than it could be drank. Likewise, the pump is recovering downhole fluid faster than the reservoir fills. This is probably why such a tiny unit is on the location, too.
I disagree, I have a single cylinder Ajax that runs an air balanced pumping unit. Can’t stand that motor. Too much going on for such a simple job. I have about 32 arrow engines, c-66 & c-46. Also some e15’s. Would rather work on the arrows any day of the week. We have some big 4 cylinder Ajax compressors that kick ass though.
@@randyjohnson8026 I've gotta agree with you bud. I get better runs out of the arrows, and they're easier to start and service. Simple reliable little engines. The Ajax has it's place though. When you need faster RPM and more power to move lots of fluid in deeper wells it's about the only option

this stuff is cool. I traveled with an oilfield employee today and I seen these type engines/PJ's. ty for your insight.
I have started 208 C46 ,C 66 and 118 s in all kinds of weather many hundreds of times after working in the Ohio oil fields for 37 years!
Search em out on a quad and get em/keep em going, I could do that. I love solitary work, nobody bugging me.
You need a shack around that guy, they’re awesome little motors, ran quite a few in the Alberta oilfield’s always nice to have them inside though

Nice start up, Thanks for taking time to show it.
great video buddy thanks
Great video, thank you!
started easy in such cold?
starts easier than a modern diesel truck.
Cheers dude this is really cool
Where's the flywheel guard and your hard hat?
nice to have a start peg and electric motor
why does it runs once a week?

Sometimes wells can have a government regulated monthly allowable of fluid that can be pumped out of a zone.
I hate arrows. Ajax are much better
What he said. And also ajax engines require a starter (or a very muscular dude) to start them. Arrows can be started by hand.

@@trey8543 X3 for arrows, do the Pinstar starter system on the 46 & 66 then a flywheel mount starter on the 96 & 106
You are wrong young man, I've ran both at me wells for near fifty years now, and the Arrows never gave me grief, unlike the unreliable Ajax.
