Trouble starting your diesel?
Tommo:
you would need a fire extinguisher full of easy start let alone a can to start one of them bad boys!
hobbit:
Dont forget some of the older diesels (Gardiners for example), static and truck etc, used to have compression release levers for each cylinder so you can spin the engine up to high speed and kick in one or two cylinders at a time, they were good fun hanging in the engine bay flipping the levers
But with that clip its just a case of a lot of battery power and bloody big beefy starter, thats why donkey engines are installed on some big engined units, some fairground generators unit are like thay not, absolutely bomb proof
