I have to say, you must be the only person I watch who loves to collect, restore and bring back old ride on mowers, especially westwoods, it’s awesome to see 😃 I congratulate you for that 👏 I hope you have an enjoyable Christmas and a very happy new year🎉 Keep up the great work👍
I appreciate that fly wheel is cast, but in future you could try putting a squeeze on the puller and shocking the flywheel with either a mallet or a piece of wood. As long as you don’t belt it with a metal hammer, it should be fine. It’s something I often have to do in work if something cast is seized solid.
Hey man, always love your no nonsense videos about something that I will probably never do. Or so I thought until the 4 stroke leaf vacuum we have at work wouldn’t start and my absorbed basic knowledge of small petrol engines saved the day! Thank you so much for your content and soothing tones 😆
These Lombardini (and clones) are notorious for sticking fuel rod causing no fuel. Check the movement of the fuel rod and lubricate and ensure it moves smootly when you manipulate the throttle lever. Looking forward to part 2.
Always love your videos mate, they're so inspiring and help me to get motivation to get out to the shed and tinker with my mowers. I'm pretty surprised that the diesel motor sounds pretty similar to a petrol one! I'm also curious as to why you never show your face? Anyway keep up the great work, you're bloody good at what you do!
If you put the pulley puller back on and tighten fairly tight without bending the tool, remove the socket wrench then smack it on the top where you tighten it with your socket wrench with a hammer it should just pop off🎉
I always weld the nuts on my own air filters, stops them rattling loose and needing to tighten the nut and no real reason to need to ever fiddle with the filter.
Always enjoy the work you put into these videos. Have a good Christmas! Just an FYI - Those Lombardini engines are tricky to get parts for now. I've been looking for ages for parts, and ended up going with a new engine. The other thing to consider is a hand primer. A lot of these small diesels (Hatz in particular) don't have any way of priming the fuel system apart from a hand pump fitted in the fuel line. The one I had on my Hatz powered Stiga perished and i never replaced it. It's been a pain ever since to bleed when changing filters.
The seal is Lombardini 1210.092 / Kohler ED0012100920-S It's 38x52x8 mm CLOCKWISE rotation and made of ACM It seems only Glaser (Dana) makes that size 8 mm thick and for clockwise rotation: P76126-01 The cheapest alternative seems to be a Febi Bilstein 26372 38x52x7 CLOCKWISE rotation and made of FPM, used by many Ford Fiesta models, for some reason the equivalents from other brands are only 6 mm thick and more expensive.
Ar 7:15, that junk at the bottom is most likely, from crappy Ethanol fuel! I'd ultrasonic that whole carb. in Simply Green. It WON'T run correctly until you do.
With the diesel pump issue, if you take the pump out, what there should be is a two pronged fork that meshes into a small shaft on the side of the pump. That’s the throttle. If you don’t see that fork then wriggle the throttle shaft on the side of the engine a bit and you should see it. At least that’s the case in the two single cylinder vertical shaft diesels that I have. Yours could be different.
Dude make sure you have put power to the engine cut off, if it's like a normal Diesel engine it will need power to open the engine kill, have a good Christmas and happy new year fella
I've found the best way to get the old needle seal out is to blow the air nozzle into the inlet. Shoots right out. Helps to hold a hand over it so it doesn't fly out too far.
