- Mick and Neville using a Petter A engine to start their 1909, hot bulb, 10 horse power Victoria stationary engine at the oldcastle agricultural and vintage show in County Meath, Ireland, 2012.
Brought back memories from back in the day of using small gasoline "ponies" to start the diesels on the old Caterpillar dozers. Thanks for the video...
I've actually seen a hot bulb machine quite a lot bigger than this hand started in the ballarat showgrounds, victoria, australia. the exhaust pipe was a foot across. had like a decompression valve on the side of the neck of the bulb or somewhere there (was actually like a large threaded bolt with a handle they'd turn 3 revolutions to close it). they had the vaporized diesel coming out of it and hitting the blowtorch there for a few spins and the flames were ripping around and then off she chugged. power on a massive scale. apparently some farmer bought it in 1971 for $100 (scrap prices) and used it to pump water for 7 years or so then they got it from him.
Thanks for that story. Pity you haven't got a video of it, sounds like an interesting encounter. Regards from the Emerald Isle.
***** I was going to, but felt it was a bit rude to film the guys. but I got the exhaust chugging away outside. I have a whole heap of very short videos with hot bulb engines and even 2 steam tractors. I tried to hook them all together to make like an 8 minute video with windows movie maker. and it all come out crap unfortunately. in the middle of the year when i get tax money back I'm likely to get a decent computer and maybe some decent video editing software so I might try then.
I don't think it would be rude to film them starting an engine if they have it on show they'd probably expect that might happen. Hopefully you'll get your clips all joined up and uploaded soon. Looking forward to seeing them. Regards.
***** put the video up a few days back. it was only them and me, and people here are a bit funny about cameras sometimes. thanks.
Link Knight we have old deutz fhar truck engine on a pump - 100hp and runs on 10% WMO it is late 70s i think
Beautiful hot bulb engine.... uncommon nowadays.
It consists of bulb like projection on the end of side of cylinder. In some heavy duty engine bolt and pin is provided.
Very nice engine. Love the sound of it. From the USA.
Thanks for watching and commenting, regards from Éire.

Hello, is it OK to feature your clip in a my UA-cam channel for educational purposes (so-called temporary copyright.)?
Your name will be listed in my compilation on video.
Thanks)
No problem.
I just love how they use a smaller engine to start the big one!
It saves a lot of sweat. Thank's for watching.

very nice. have you ever tried to bump start this engine. the make up is similar to a blackstone. it should be alot easyier than using a starter motor. any who very nice display.
It is a semi diesel like model airplane nitro/methanol engines.
That is a damn fine engine.
Horses were much stronger back then!
Thanks for sharing. Now why is that guy sneezing and spitting?
the 100hp v10 must had been migthy impressive

No air start?
It's not my engine unfortunately but if it would work it would be handier alright.
Notice the lubricator on the Canshafy.
A hit and miss hot bulb engine? Never seen one of those before.
I really thought it was a hit-n-miss engine.
Hit and miss is a governing system
The exhaust valve is held open by the governor when the engine is on-speed. When the speed drops, the governor allows the exhaust valve to close so compression will occur and the engine will fire, bringing itself back up to speed. This was in use before sperk ignition came about, and continued to be employed with spark ignited engines as well. The ignition system would not be disabled when the engine was on-speed- only the exhaust valve would be held open. The spark plug or make-and-break points would continue to fire, but with no compression or any appreciable intake suction, no ignition would occur until the speed dropped and the exhaust valve closed.
That's the way some engines work but definitely not this one, you may study it a bit better. Thanks for watching and commenting.
very compact! 1909 riding lawn mowers must had been small and agile =D
2:39 YOU CAN SEE WHY HE'S GOT A bald patch....THE BELT CAME OFF in a previous start
Ha ha, takes a bit of time to get it going but when it goes it runs nicely all day. Beautiful engine. I re-subscribed to you tonight,just noticed I was un-subscribed. My computer F...... up, hard drive went doolally so i have a lot of videos to catch up on.
I've got one of those too!!!........the Petter A that is.........
Nothing wrong with a good Petter A, maybe Santa will bring you a nice Victoria if you're good. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That would be cool......but getting it down the chimney could be an issue!!......
bossco09 Haa, bossco you're a hoot !!
Nice video regaskin !!
It is a nice running A 1 alright but i'd prefer the Victoria anytime.
I like the A1 lol
Brilliant! but for heavens sake, don't let her run out of fuel, we don't want to have to go through that performance again...ha ha :-)
Your not the first to say to me, they were subscribed and then when they looked again they weren't, something strange going on in YT land me thinks...
haha takes a small gas engine to start it
