launtop Diesel 6HP Engine She Has a Group 27 Battery! It was -25 Last Night And at time of the Video was -20C Very Hard Start!! Please Rate Comment & Subscribe Check out my other videos. Check out my Facebook Page / starpuss
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.
Best diesel winter additive is mixing diesel fuel with kerosene...1 gallon for every 5 gallons of diesel...old farmers trick...helps with cold starts as well
I had worked remote mountain oilfield were it was minus 60 f at night often - we used 1gallon of motor oil to 50 gallons of kerosene or jet fuel - instead of diesel -

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 -
Now this is a good start video finally somebody who knows how to hold the key for more than 1.2 seconds LMFAO the starter is probably crying but he sure is giving it a good shot
Got a Chinese diesel generator. When cold I put some lube oil in the cylinder head and it starts right away.... With some smoke. It's a loud machine but it serves me well.
I know that stack is cool. But there is a reason why they don’t put stacks on mowers. It’s called, “the accidental face plant on the pipe .” A heat shield could be in order. Safety first.
To all the ones that are whining about the poor starter, good God they're not that delicate LOL the neighbor kids had a little toy bulldozer that they rode on,, they use the Delco starter and a 12-volt battery never heard it any
It started because of the starter going into nuclear meltdown and warming the block. Get one of those air inlet heaters that looks like a sparkplug but is a heating coil on the end.
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.
I’ve seen a lot of people with Chinese diesel motors. They can’t be shit tbh. Pretty cheap, simple parts, lots of people use them. There might be different brands, but they are just different sellers
I have a Stick on block heater that works well , But it's only heating the "Base plate" And with the snowplow installer the heater is not as good. Propane torch to the cylinder head for 2-3min and she always fires right up.
If you haven't already croaked the starter you soon will. I am unimpressed by idiocy. Thankfully I now know from reading the comments that you usually preheat the engine. 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!
youre going to need a new starter very soon, do some pre-heating and you will last a lot longer. Yeah Id add some kerosene and hit the intake with a propane torch. But its your engine/
@@IanHotson Ive got a 78 yanmar with origional starter, 3 cyl diesel 18 or so hp, i run the starter like this, well i usually crank if for thirty seconds and let it sit. That warms up some stuff a little then i give it a good crank. Diesel starters like you say are durable.
I have Cumming Intake heaters on a few of my little diesels , But never did use them much yet. Helps a LOT but at the same time.. Draws the battery down a good amount.
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.
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
First cold start of the year now that's a cold start you should cold start all the machines 500 and all but it might be easy idk lol and jesus your going to ware the starter out on that thing lol could u put a heater or glow plugs that thing is it possible and so much for the garage project but there's next year
0 , Out of 50+ Diesel engines i sold , Not one has failed. The Starter motor on them is a HEAVY Duty model , I think 1.8KW of power "Car starter size" I am VERY Impressed with how well they are holding up! Even though i tried to kill a starter at least 50+ Times , They never fail.
Holy shit man I hope you don't do that everytime you start it because that starter was probably smoking hot just give it a little spray of ether or shoot some fire down the intake
You should’ve just dumped oil while it was running down the little port where you can put oil in the cylinder head that way it will rev really high and blow up
Yes the 10hp models seems to start with about 1/4 the amount of cranking. I have had two "brand name" 10hp and one of them started within 10sec of cranking in this weather 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.
Dude you're not suppose to hold the starter on just a few seconds not ten minutes you're gonna burn it up and then you can. Make a video on why you don't run a starter like that
So inexpensive. I have to wonder if one of these could be used in a sailboat since low hp deisels are so often used in that application. What do you think?
You'd really want an open boat installation to give the air cooling a chance.. very noisy little motors and there are water cooled ones that are much better and quieter because they are water cooled.
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.
