JAP 55 Compressor. Will it start??

[@ErichPhillips-jq7lv]

Take the compressor belts off , it may help with the starting.

[@terryraymond7984]

yeah I really like those older engine videos and see them run again

[@earlybird1947]

I can't believe people are getting so upset just because they don't get to see the engine running. All your videos are entertaining and the comments themselves are getting that way . As for an hour being too long.... takes me longer to find my shed keys some times!

[@boydovens4180]

Thats what solving problems is all about , If everything worked out first time , we would never develop fault finding . Crack on .

[@terryraymond7984]

when I worked for a small engine shop we always tried to see if the Engine would run without removing the carb.

[@nim3od]

Really enjoying you having 4 projects on the go at once. If each one took you 2 minutes to get started it would not be such an interesting channel and we would not learn much. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to bring us this content.

[@derbyjohn972]

Great one fen great long video explaining all the problems mate 👍🏻👍🏻. Keep them coming sir 😁😁

[@darrenhawken9766]

Glad you made a start to hopefully run vid , instead of bit by bit ...maybe turn your idle up some more ? Thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@jimgardner9044]

When it did fire it only gave one puff. That leads me to think it's only going on one cylinder. Take the belt off may help, bung a bit of juice down the plug holes it you get a series of puffs then go after the carb. Jim in NZ.

[@fredharrowven1040]

Hi Adam, Once again you have come up with another great video, You take care of yourself and stay safe.🛠️🛠️⭐️👍

[@whitesapphire5865]

Kelter.....? It's a word my dad used a lot, but where it's from would be anybody's guess. One side of my dad's family came from Norfolk, Wymondham, to be precise, and the other side of his family were from West Yorkshire, Leeds/Tadcaster, but, he served his army years in Scotland, Edinburgh to precise. Now, he picked up a lot words in Scotland. I was born North side of York, and the word "kelter" was commonplace when I was just nipper - especially when it came down to our toys and things, implying that they were rubbish, and usually used in anger - "You can get that bloody kelter cleared up, or it's all off in the dustbin"..... Or as in your case, when we went to York Auction Centre "By God, there's some bloody kelter here today!". Definitely a common and familiar word in my vocabulary.

[@simonjones4776]

I enjoy the videos because they are real life 👍

[@whitesapphire5865]

Try swapping the plug leads? Sounds like it's trying to fire at TDC on the exhaust stroke. We had the same with my "55" and ended up having to retime the rotor arm, and get the plug leads in the correct orientation - they were 180 degrees out of time. And, just like yours, all it would do was to trump and fart with the occasional half hearted pop!

[@secretanorak592]

Excellent Video as always Adam, just a suggestion couldn't you plug a compressor in near the house and run an airline up into the shed as a temp measure?

[@petergrinnell2500]

Good to see you trying to get these old engines going ok they can be tricky as being sat round rusting you many years but when you get them running they will run for many years to come just shows how thing was built to last but a bit of advice don't let any petrol or anything spill in the ground anything i collect it up and take it down the council tip better that way

[@timmyluap]

The word,,,,, bodge,, allways come's to mind,,

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Adam, I agree, oily rag the J A P keep her original mate,your doing a great job, keep it up. I never heard of Kelta not used in Wrexham or through out Wales, since I've be watching you this is the first time i've heard of Kelta, You will get her up and running soon, good luck mate

[@theoilybeard3287]

Once I've got a spark, I like to throw a little go juice into the spark plug hole and give it a spin to see if it'll run for a second or two - at least then you know you've got good enough spark and timing and can look at the fuel system... It's a bit of a "one thing at a time" sort of thing for me. And also some 40 ish grade oil, just to get some seal around the piston rings and valve seats should they need it after years not running.

[@mrbmremrn23]

According to my broad Norfolk book- Kelter refers to condition “that farm is in good kelter” keep the videos coming Adam

[@JohnWaghorn-i6l]

Take the belts off pencill the plugs give it a little extra spark little oil down the bores bring compression up but please be carfull these are only quarter pull engines can fire and break a arm so just be carfull adam best of luck mate

[@byjingobob]

Kelter used here in NW Norfolk. Heacham/King's Lynn.

[@astravanmk2]

I’d be trying a bit of sniff down it see if it barks then. That’s one way to eliminate fuel issues. Maybe if you get a bit of heat in it it might come around.

[@alexgarrod9093]

Very good work Adam great see all your engine s running little kart

[@charlottejenkins9006]

I'm from Lincolnshire and have heard the word 'kelter' used many times.

[@plasmaDave]

The first time I heard you say "Kelter" I knew what it ment but still had to look it up and check 😊

[@danclark4230]

That petrol look like molasses on a cold Sunday morning 😁,you get it going 👍

[@joesangalli882]

Take the belts off the pump so you can turn it easier then when it runs re-install them, and restart it.

[@colinmew7139]

We had an engine the same fitted to a Clifford Rotavator back in the 60’s and had same trouble. Found trouble was on left hand side is a stop button that earths out. Make shore it not touching

you really need some whitworth spanners if you work on this old stuff as they shouldn'r have any metric anywhere.

Also check the points on the magneto

[@matthewhibbs9602]

take the belts off to the compressor until she's run for a bit 👍

[@Herbybandit]

To me it looks like there's not a huge amount of compression, do a test and see. Also remove the belts and fix that rudimentary throttle control you missed or wind up the idle stop.

[@Equiluxe1]

Is the spark timing 180 deg out?

[@lorddraper]

I heard kelter

Your videos are too long, especially when we cant see them running it feels pointless and a waste of time unfortunately, hopefully this doesnt seem rude just wish we can see the engines running in your videos😎

[@lewisgardner1660]

I for one enjoyed the video if it’s to Long for you go away

[@EngineVids]

@@lewisgardner1660 rude, also dont tell me what to do its just friendly advice. Sounds like you need to go away.

[@OutandaboutR]

It would be lovely to get an engine running straight away after not running for several years, though unfortunately with these old characters it can take time and sometimes it can take a while to get parts for them. A lot of people enjoy the process of getting an old engine cleaned up and running. Thank you for you for watching

[@joesangalli882]

He is actually showing that not everything ends in a happy engine running. It takes time and effort to start something that has set up so long. Struggling to start an old engine is reality. To state what you have is showing that you do not understand what it takes to handle such a task. Try to enjoy what he does and learn that what he does is not always that easy.

[@derbyjohn972]

Love the long videos of fen explaining. Keep going pal forgot about the haters mate 👍🏻👍🏻
