@@millomweb Had someone come in for a *SLIGHT COOLANT LEAK AND OVERHEATING*... 3 days prior the drove their truck into a guard rail on the side of the road, ~2" hole in the rad
@@blitzz7316 You don't get much of a leak out of a hole like that after the first 10 seconds. Did they say if it just leaked either going downhill or only when braking, perhaps.
@@blitzz7316 It's a matter of clearly not understanding. I recently looked at info on nebulisers - and at one point looked at wikipedia. They'd categorised them as either electric or (ultra)sonic (I think) but all the ones I've seen were pneumatic. No mention of those. Turned out they included pneumatic ones but as they were fed from a compressor, classed them as electric ! I rearranged the page - as the pneumatic ones I've seen didn't use a compressor but were driven by pressurised gas (from a bottle or tank). Years ago, at school one of my teachers claimed steam engines were 'heat engines'. Again, they're not - they just rely on gas pressure to run - although the pressure is generated by heating water. The actual engine would run just as well on air - and model steam engines often do !
the fan blade looks like it is in the wrong orientation... it is pushing hot engine air through the radiator towards the front.... instead of sucking in cool air through the radiator towards the engine....
Most industrial engines push the air through the rad. When it is mounted in a building there would be a shuttered opening for the hot air to leave the room.
@@progressivedynamicsolution1769just asking if the generator whatever was on this diesel engine be it an alternator or dynamo was charging the batteries good after that long cranking session!

Nice video thank you for posting.
@@matthewvwuk We haven't got the generator making power yet. The engine doesn't have an alternator. Normally, an AC battery charger is plugged into the generator to charge the batteries. And yes, they were drained after this startup.
@@progressivedynamicsolution1769 Thank you, can we understand it as be weak compression/ leaky rings not attaing enough temperature at the end of compression in slow cranking.

Perhaps next time try a pint of oil in each pot before cranking ;)
Slight water leak on it too - you need your brolly.

Thats how to burn your electric starter in a short time.

Glow plugs no good???? Nice water leak too. Impressed with the batteries and starter motor.
Bet that thumb hurts after that start. Has a good battery, and sure gave the starter motor a good work out. It needs a life running some place.
The thing starts like my Chevy 6.2 diesel at 40 degrees Fahrenheit
yes, but it has sat for a long time. It starts better now that we have run it a bit.

Better than wreaking ba ring gear

I wouldn't use that, just a little heat on the intake will do just fine.

Is that water coming out the front of engine or fuel
It was a small water leak.
I was wondering why there was a whine like a jet engine as it got going, then I realised it has a turbocharger. Mystery solved.
The turbo was surprising free after all those years sitting.

NOW YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW STARTER
It still starts no problem. We are having a hard time getting the generator to make power.
@@progressivedynamicsolution1769 Speed was too slow in that clip. My guess would be a little over 1500 rpm needed - for one.

@@millomweb yes, that's what we are thinking. We need to excite the permanent magnets to begin the process.
Thanks for the comment.
@@progressivedynamicsolution1769 Is it the kind that needs the 3 phase alternator (exciter) to mount on top of it?
@@proehm it has a dc exciter built onto the end of the Kato generator. We just couldn't get it to work.
Did you guys bleed the fuel system all the way to the injectors? That was about ten thousand normal starts on that starter.
Yes, we did. It seems like it takes a long time to start.
@@progressivedynamicsolution1769 was it really cold? Maybe use a bit of ether
@@daltonsequipment4419It wasn't too cold. But Paul did have a jacket on, we wanted to see if it could start on it's own. And we didnt have any ether.

ua-cam.com/video/7AA0ZKk8H34/v-deo.html😋
why is there liquid flowing out of the engine at the end of the video?
Is it supposed to be like that?
There was a broken water line, it was only 1/4 inch. I think it was there to help avoid air blocking the water system. It was an easy fix.
@@progressivedynamicsolution1769 ah ok thank you
Just a slight coolant leak. Lower front of the engine
