Hooray!!!!As for the subject... it's an old cuckoo... what did you expect (...)
The old cuckoo clock in question was completely overhauled three years ago, worked for 10 minutes for testing and was put away in case there was a major power cut. The old grandfather died and his son (73 years old) doesn't know how to operate it.
So it was sold at a price that seemed reasonable to me and given that the person for whom it is intended collects more used oil than he consumes, and already has 3500 liters (approximately) in advance, the idea of a very old diesel seems interesting to supplement some solar panels
The engine is indeed old but in very good condition, the concern is just not to do anything stupid when starting it.
This morning I quickly purged it down to the pump, opened the decompressor and left the engine running for about fifteen seconds, this allows the oil to circulate according to the posts I read last night on the internet, closed the decompressor (I had put a little spray in the air inlet and I pumped with a priming pump at the tank outlet, it rattles, I had to keep it full so that it runs (at least 2 minutes quietly) but not once was there diesel in the return
so if the engine has turned it is because the pump is working because I really don't think that the force-feeding with the c.. that I did can make the injector spit, I say to myself, no return because not enough flow not enough flow because air intake
the stop actuator mentioned by flytox remains on stop, I pulled on it while the engine was running, nothing and when I release it it triggers acceleration
I still have no contact and nothing happens when I turn the key to start, so I always bypass the starter for testing, I think someone had fiddled with the wires coming to the bottom (the bastard) of the starter (very loose ground bolt, one terminal no longer connected and a disgusting connection compared to the rest of the harness not really in its place I think)
I won't have much time this afternoon, I'm going to get an old inner tube from a Yamaha near my house and make temporary seals on the filter.
