Spare engine N42

must have been the way I imbedded it. try it again, but go the beginning, for some reason it starts right in the middle.

I should have seen that.  He starts it at 2:00.  Didn't realize that thin piece of metal was strong enough.  Good to know.

He even put a key on the framework of the engine stand.  Should have built a seat with a throttle pedal too.

Haha, good one.. but a radiator and some coolingfluid would be nice, then he could give it a longer run and high rev's!

I am pretty sure I have enough parts (drive line and steering rack) then I could made a all wood vehicle, that would get the HOA to quacking :)

I was thinking the same about a radiator. I see a lot of videos of folks starting up diesels the same way, no radiator. when I do my test stand I think I may just hook up a garden hose to it and let the water flow thru the engine and dump out on the ground.
