Yanmar diesel start and run

[@quinn860]

Love the ozzy inthe background

Yanmar makes fine diesel engines, this is one of them. I wondered about the starting method and that belt, lot's of potential there for a good slap on the bare arms etc. On that subject of the line in your teeth drooping across the flywheel/pulley/drill and belt,...oh well, you can figure out the rest!!!

[@nunya9555]

Lol. I love it. Nice engine and better starting procedure....

[@initial00707]

courageous start.. with your teeth. simple and innovative.. I am building a diesel bike will the same engine

[@stevenking2980]

Send the link to us both please. Id love to see. I love The German inventor Rudolph diesel and Yanmar!

[@seanhalpinhlpin547]

Great little engines those. It's a pitty though that they don't run too well at low RPMs. I have one on a concrete mixer and its minimum idle is about 2000rpm. Your runs very well, perhaps the inertia of the extra pulley allows this to run so low. You should definitely enter this in a diesel "how low can you go" competition. Your accent is cool. Where are you from? Canada?

[@bryanrosales1864]

I have access to many of these engines. Used to be on generators. Some need TLC.

I like the total loss lubrication they have!

I have one of those, it's actually a 7 horse. Yanmar L70 AE

[@JM-yx1lm]

No its actually a 9 horse like the guy in the video said. They make a 7, 9 and 12 horse. Dont assume stuff.

I'm guessing you mean fuel oil, it sipps fuel, I can not give you an accurate guess on the usage. I can say it is very little. It does not use any engine oil at all.

Once that wheel started spinning after ignition, that loose belt posed SERIOUS safety problems, and it was connected to you through that drill and pulley. Not to mention there was some kind of loose twine or something also in the picture. This is Darwin Award winning stuff here!

Wuss

[@Mikesorrento3344]

Yes there’s always a safety monitor out there.

It is a fun engine to run, even more fun to start. No accidents or injury from starting my Yanmar yet. Yeah you boys in the south know how to get it done, no doubt. Thanks for the comments

[@tacosteelersman1624]

I had to adjust the throdle springs to allow it to idle down where I wanted it to run but it is running great. I am from western NY.
