      Cool setup, however I would never “crank” an engine that long, you could damage the starting motor by overheating it. I would use the intake heater or a block heater setup for cold weather use.

    As a rule of thumb a compression diesel will not just start up below 32°F or 0°C - when it's cranked the compressed air heats till the cylinder, piston and head is above 32° then the engine will start -
    Glow plug engines generally fare out better in cold country for start ups -

  • @martinleska4292
    @martinleska4292 Před rokem +4

    Its better to cover more than 50% of cooling fan grill in cold conditions to reduce amount of cold air blown in to the engine.Optimal working temperature of cylinder head in air cooled engines is 100+°C. In icy conditions its not possible to reach this temperature without blocking some cooling air. Especially diesels are very thermal effective and you can seize the engine because outer cylinder wall is cold and shrinks and piston is hot and expands.

    Hows that 6hp work for you? I have an old craftsman 12hp petrol tractor with a 5 speed+reverse that needs a engine and I wanna go diesel so badly for the torques and the longevity of the engines! My "clutch" is just a tensioner pulley and a big spring so that when I push the "clutch" it'll just pull out the pulley and when I release it it'll just push the pulley back into place cuz it runs a transaxle with a pulley up top where a long n large belt runs up to the front of my tractor where the clutch pulley are and a tad further up is where the engine pulleys are (mine actually has a PTO that I can activate via lever on my dash) oh and the gear shift lever is on the floor between the seat and the part of tractor that the floor rises up to become the very empty dash [lights switch, keyed ignition, streering wheel, PTO lever, choke lever and hourmeter] lol I did my throttle off the side lever cuz it ain't a mower but I used some mower parts to give it a lever operated throttle like dem really super old bigger real tractors

      Look at Thermostart flame intake heaters.
      Same principle but low relative draw...
      most of the heat comes from the burning diesel which burns after passing through the Thermostart..
      Available from tractor parts suppliers.
      Used on Perkins engines, Zetor and Massey Ferg tractors.

    Have a look at "thermostart" flame heaters...available cheaply from tractor parts supply houses.
    A 12VDC small battery plus a small supply of diesel into the metal intake manifold via the Thermostart...
    and it will be even faster..1 minute or less!

      depending on the compression , and IF i pull start the engine REALLY hard , It will crank over and start SO much better as it spins over quicker.

    it is not a good idea to grind the starter that way, better to assist the engine to have an immediate start, the starter will not resist such a treatment. I don't believe that the parts are available for such chinese engines.

      I have around 5 spare engines , NEVER needed any spare parts yet in 10 or so years using them.

    I don’t understand why you have it at full throttle when it’s cold I think that’s just a stupid idea altogether I would’ve just had it at idle

      Will not start on Idle ,Not when it's this cold.
