Naturally you’ll have it sorted now I expect but my initial thoughts after bleeding the fuel system is that it seems a little down on compression as usually when they’re in good order, it’s not possible to swing it over compression without the decompressor engaged. Again, I’m sure it’s in perfect working order now, but in case it’s still being a reluctant little article, it may be worth inspecting the valves and seats and carrying out the necessary work to ensure both valves seal fully when they should. Diesels rely on good compression and being turned over fairly quickly for the “bang” to happen. Also, some of these engines had an oil prime directly into the cylinder which temporarily seals the rings and ups the compression until it fires then it burns the excess oil off and should run. I’m probably too late but hope this helps. I can tell you’re not an idiot by how you tightened the injector pipe nut so please don’t think my advice is patronising your ability. You can never assume someone knows something without asking them first!
Well.... As well as the valves have clearance you could drive a bus through, a broken piston ring, a worn bore and blown bing end.... So you are correct compression was a problem. I have since rebuilt the rocker gear, and had the cylinder rebored. I have not however put it back together yet. You can see in the next video on the PAZ1 how it ran just before the rebuild and how easily it starts when you know how. I'll link it at the end.

Yes, I've just posted a compression lack of comment. However, mine was based on colour of smoke and lack of retardation due to compression. On your comment re continuous cranking with compression, that IS possible. But them were the days when I bent the camshaft on a small Lister where the starting crank fitted. Oops !
It’s the gaurd you can here rubbing on fly wheel because the top part over the head is missing. My old paz1 I have you can here the injector breaking when it injects fuel. I normally wind it over a bit on full throttle with decompressor open nice and gentle so to save energy then I give it all I got. It does not fire straight away it will puff smoke then it will fire up. I’ve never had to use easy start even in the middle of winter, it runs a 5.5kw generator that powers my garage it does bog down with over 3kw on it but I don’t use that much only the welder or angel grinder will load it up well.
In the next video I found that someone had put a bolt that was too long in the tinwork over the flywheel. That fixed that problem. I also found that the injector pump lever tends not to move to the start position on its own. In the next video it started really easily, despite, it turns out, having a broken piston ring and a massively worn rocker shaft (now fixed).

Easy start a big no no erratic detonation can break piston rings and other internal damage the reduced compression makes it harder starting, machine also hooked on ether.
I agree the reduced compression makes it harder to start, this engine had not been started in a while, and had many problems. The easy start helped here, but it turns out was not required as I just needed to set the injector pump to the right place. See for example, czcams.com/video/egCYTvt8S4w/video.html Note that the valve clearances are huge because the rocker shaft and bushings were worn out and the big end blown. I am not sure what you mean by: "machine also hooked on ether." If you mean hooked on easystart, it isn't (see the link) though it is about to get a rebored cylinder, new big ends and a rebuilt rocker gear as well as the missing cowling.

@@BensWorkshop when ether products are continuously used and the damage I mentioned occurs, because of reduced compression the engine now needs these products to start when cold.

7:45 Re text on screen - we're not got the injector pump in view to check on selection of excess fuel. However, seems a bit short on compression - so some oil down its throat may well be in order !

@@BensWorkshop It'll deffo work better put back together ;) I'm looking specifically for Petter starting - seems a few don't bother with excess fuel. Rebore (& presume new piston) not always necessary. Check valves for sealing as others have mentioned and new rings - these things don't start with pistons that fit - they rely on the rings until warmed up and the piston becomes working size - LOL !
@@millomweb it also has an oversized piston and rings, rebuilt rocker gear and will have reseated valves. The next video in the playlist is starting from cold without messing around.
Nice work I have same engine there is a pot that hooks on crank case door with pipe from fuel pump in it I c your pot is missing but I was just wondering if you knew what it was for ??? I have not got handbook yet n you helped a lot thanks for your very useful video
No problem, the pot is for collecting leaked of fuel I believe. The handbooks are available on eBay, particularly enlarged re prints. Please feel free to like, share and subscribe, there's loads more engines here :)
@@BensWorkshop She sure gave you a workout! Sounds like your flywheel was rubbing against the shroud. PAZ1's are some of my favorite engines also; I have a few waiting for restoration as well.
@@BensWorkshop So I see, congratulations; it starts, runs and sounds way better than in the previous video. Please do a follow up when you have completed your repairs.
In this case, I have no idea. I had just bought the engine. I will be using Castrol classic when I put it together because it is the sort of oil that does not need an oil filter.

If you watched the video I linked to, it shows what the problem was. (Apart from valves that don't open fully and having a blown big end).
Put oil in the air filter this is the better variant and the engine is spared
Oddly, it turns out that it was the way the injector pump rack was set. I started it easily here:
