Here is a telling site about Deezil's and it has a Utube clip - note that the engine run time is incredibly short and is looped many times in order to appear longer.

And here is the spoiler, the engine indeed runs but is ruined in about 30 seconds flat!
Have a chuckle, go and watch it.
That is priceless, I love it.
I see he didn't waste a whole lot of arm power trying to flick start it.
I have to say this is my all time most hated model engine, why, because with just a tad more effort in the right areas it could have been a reasonable engine.
Gordon obviously saw the potential or I doubt he'd have wasted his time doing his replica.
I mean how hard is it to make a one piece crank for heavens sake ?
Ah well, if they hadn't of made them, we wouldn't have had the fun we've had
