Antique Diesel Engine Start-Up 1 Cyl Witte Diesel

- Here we start up my early Witte single cylinder diesel engine at a recent show. I have owned this engine for a number of years and it continues to be one of my favorites.
We also apply a load to the engine by using friction on one of the engine's flywheels. - Авто та транспорт

I love how closed caption says “music” when that thing starts firing.
Well, it’s not wrong!
it's a lullaby
When cranking, turn your hand around so your palm is facing away from you. That way if the engine kicks back the handle will fly out of your hand without breaking your wrist. I was told that by and old guy who was watching me crank start my 1959 Triumph.
I've got a titanium bolt in my left wrist. You can probably guess why...
I suspect that kick-back is much more of a problem on multi-cylinder engines with small flywheels. The two heavy flywheels on the Witte engine have so much momentum by the time the compression release and fuel levers are tripped, there's virtually zero chance of kick-back.
I would not start that thing without arm protection of some kind. First mod I would do is a good old fashion electric starting.
I do not know why they don't put a ratchet type input on the crank assembly so that if it kicks back it just clicks.
It looks like it has a ratchet mechanism when he spins the handle independently of the flywheel at 5:00
It’s terrific to see someone learning and sharing that knowledge with us here. Thank you for your videos and for keeping these old engines alive. They’re fascinating.
Engines are so cool I find them way more interesting than electric motors
A beautiful engine - love the mechanical sound of these engines
So pleasing to see old engines running as they were designed for😮💯. Much better than just being static at a museum
Grandpa had the 12hp, gen set. Ran the resort for years. Thank you for the memories.
I will try to get a video up of my 12 sometime this summer. Thanks for watching!
Now that would make an interesting mini-bike!
I’m familiar with the Witte engines, that looked very similar but were gas. The intake valve had no operating mechanism. Only a light spring to close it after it opened by cylinder vacuum. They were on oil well pump jacks (60’s)and ran on the natural gas from the well. They had a belt driven fan. The starting crank was the same as this.
Very cool guys, nice to see someone actually load one of these old engines.
Agreed, taking time to explain the governor rack operation was appreciated as well.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful old engineering. Those will last forever.. unfortunately they don't make engines like that anymore...
It sound like you got a couple horses pulling a wagon on a cobble stone road, with a old sewing machine going, and the driver has a worn out pocket watch ticking!! Haha!!
Antique diesel engine with an antique Mr Gasket air cleaner from the 60s
How many MPG?
Gotta keep it clean.
Just love the sound when the engine starts :)
Thanks for keeping these old girls alive..........very interesting
"you can't over oil it" 3:04, very well put!
That is a remarkable engine as you are, Mike. Keep up your good work and sharing your toys with us.
Thanks for sharing this old gal with us. She's a beaut and what a lovely sound. Reminds me of one of the old "hit & miss" engines.
As the last comment look I broke my thumb. A lovely old engine not seen in the UK
It is amazing how rugged things were built back in the day. Made to last.
Really nice engine. Fascinating about the in-piston prechamber as well. It wasn't that hard to crank either!
6 HP. Nice little "go cart" engine. ;o) I was thinking about it earlier today. There's nothing more satisfying for a "gear head" than to make some old mechanical device come back to life. Explains why there's so many people I like to watch on UA-cam ----------------- doing exactly that !!! 👍👍👍👍
Great video ! Cool old engine, love to see them running. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the governor. Good to see you have help from hit and misfits
Aye, shame about the cameraman !
Pretty cool, really enjoyed listening to that engine
I love that ole Witte , ENJOYED .. Thanks Mike !!
Wooow. Very wonderfull Diesel engine DUMM DUMM sounds. I love Diesel engine.😍😍😍
After long time old memories get fresh of nineteens diesel engine work on tubal. thank you for uploading this video
PHUT PHUT PHUT PHUT poong poong poong poong poong.... What a wonderful thing. Nice work keeping her alive, mate.
Thanks for checking it out.
Smooth running cause of the mega fly wheel. It even has troubles reving it's self up :-)
Be interesting to see how it performs at running temperature - or the spill timing needs adjustment.
Very low power for 6 horses. I doubt if it makes more than 1 or 2
@@jonka1 my guess is that they likely measured it differently
I Love The Engine Sound
Way to go Mike!! You need to put up the vids more often because we always enjoy they!
Very imformative about the workings of this particular engine. Much appreciated guys
Thanks for watching
Great old engine Mike thanks for sharing 👍🎟
Nice running engine. Big brother of my Witte 3 hp engine at home.
I am curious on how much diesel it burns under a normal load, I really enjoy watching old engines run!
@@linniel8433, if you enjoy watching old engines run, you can watch the biggest show with stationairy engines on the main land of Europe on this link. have fun watching.... ua-cam.com/video/yeJwhXb4QlQ/v-deo.html
What a beautiful nice great running engine! Id love to have one of those!
Love those old engines. Very cool.
Love to hear those old engines still doing it,, thanks so much for sharing 😁 BTW great to see Jonathan from"Hit and Misfits" also, Howdy from Texas!!
Nice engine Mike.
Thanks
Wow you've got a lot of cool stuff. Nice video!
It doesn't drip oil..... It just marks it's spot !!! 👍👍👍👍
Very nice engine, double thumbs up!
Sweet! Love this Engine! Just an awesome mechanicalness to it and it has an awesome sound! Can't wait to see more videos from the new shop and hope all is going well with it! (PS: Tell Roadking where the lens is on that camera next time he films a video for you :)
I am in love with any good running engine. This one sounds great. Thanks for loading it to make it talk. I believe that some MAN diesels have a partial sphere in the piston for a precombustion chamber. Their hype said that it made it run much quieter.
The piston that you described is a Recardo piston design. This design was used in many large Continental engines.
Very impressive I enjoyed it tremendously.
love them old engines
Nice engine, love this song
What a wonderful contraption.
Like this engine, thanks for showing.
Fantastic channel
Excellent video
I love these old engines.
Nice engine Mike 👍
Your assistant has got style : )
Awesome love this engine 👍🏻
I want to build a boat around one of these...they are great reliable power. They will probably run on anything greasy too.
5:10 is the part you're looking for.
Thank you!
So cool! Was born 50 years too late
Pretty Cool Mike!!!!
That is awesome. Thank you mike. Everyone should have one..
Thanks for watching!
that’s beautiful music!
Amazing ! Great vid thank you
Destin sent me, thanks for the great engine insights!
That was amazing. :D
Thanks for watching
Love the sound
Great video Mike,..Thank you for showing the full sequence. Love that exhaust sound!
( I think that cameraman needs some training though,...Hahahaha,...just a dig at the ROADKING there!)
Totally agree re the cameraman !
Sounds good n not loud at all with no muffler
Cool old engine. Nice to see how it controlled the speed when a load was put on it.
Thanks for w
Love old timey engine's thank God for modern technology, but this makes me apreasuate modern stuff
Same here, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much brother
The Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range RR had these in their International Cabooses for heat & electricity & they had exterior access doors on the outside of their cabooses for maintenance......
wow! smooth as silk
The diesel engine, greatest invention ever!
This thing is going to run forever. I have a similar engine (maybe a Lister?) I think it's close to 100 years old, and I plan to rebuild it to use it with biodiesel.
that a beautiful thing! thanks
great vid thanks
Impressive. Thanks for sharing!!
nice work Thanks
informative vid thanks.
Is that a 1" thick copper band surrounding the flywheels?
Very Cool! Thank You!
Such and old antique piece of technology yet I couldn’t begin to understand its engineering and mechanics.
Diesel engines the best!
very nice.
Love it!
Behold, the American horizontal Lister CS.
Thanks for sharing and explaining it. In German it is pronounced like Vitta. Charles
With as much simplicity and reliability as these engines have I’m surprised they aren’t still used in service today.. I’m sure they are pretty fuel efficient
They are still seeing use in developing countries!
That's a sweeeet puppy.
thx for shown
Excellent
Super cool.
Hi I have a problem to time the magneto to the 2 cyl on an engine how can I get help from you to find the steps to do this timing correctly?
👍👍👍We had one same. But 15 hp. But it was scrapped in 1969. I regret 😒😒😒
1 cyl, but... still sounds like a VW Golf 3 Diesel.
That has the human revolutionary, this was the solution. An Wonder of pressing old flora and fauna by using a mashine. With ech step an old soul will be free in the air ^^-
Using gear oil for the lube points?
That's cool! Are you guys going to finish that custom Briggs radial engine y'all were building? Love the videos!
Is this a closed cranked horizontal engine like some Blackstone? I did not see a engine oil pump or container.
What sort of governor is that. Most are centrifugal type. This looks different.
that is one of the quietest diesels i have seen run... where can i get one for my truck ?
