More information concerning the MVVS.

I ran the engine a bit today before I installed it back into the Tom Tom. Here is what I happily discovered.

The engine will hand start cold by increasing the compression and choking for one turn of the prop. Hot starts require only one choked turn of the prop. I thought that I had very little trouble with Diesel engines in the 70's. This engine was defective since day one. The exhaust had a very light brown colour bout the same as my ST G20/ 15D engines. There was very little if any white smoke. I am a very happy person now!

Cheers,
