Last week I had to go out and get a rebuilt engine started in a light aircraft that wouldn't spin over, it had stood for a good while and when we tested it we squirted acf down the bores to stop it rotting, the owner had tried lots of batteries with no joy and assumed the engine was tight.

I tried it with plugs out and it was sweet, with plugs in even with a 4' prop for leverage the compression was evil, I had to fit a lower geared starter and jump from a big battery before we could get it going but once run and warmed up to clear it spun over on his small battery and starter fine.

In the process I managed to start a wee fire around spilt fuel and had to blast it with a powder fire extinguisher, what a bloody mess that was to clear up! Best bit is that it was a kit built fokker replica in red baron colours with a german owner sat in the cockpit when I set it on fire, and it was just after VE day! That's the way to celebrate VE day.......

Don't do the last bit with your bike, it was not a good moment.

:lol: wonder what he was thinking, grab a pic next time it's about, be nice to see..


I found a lot of ooomph was lost when I jump lead connected the TDM battery. Prolly combo of that and yer lubbly new bits.

That pic was from the previous day daps with the jump leads to battery on the floor, when it started had put the battery back in the bike so i guess engine a bit tight, then i jumped tdm battery with the car battery, and a second quick start bike battery fired her up on it's own, just needed a push it seems..

It had no wings/tail on at the time as he's still repairing them from a flip over, that is why the engine was rebuilt.
