Me, Charlie D, Robin and several other hairy arsed tin miners spent a whole afternoon trying to start a concrete batching plant fitted with a Petter engine - late on in the afternoon and after several phone calls to the hire company we discovered we had a Lister self commencer. A quick tweek of the pawl inside so we could wind the engine the correct way and away she went. We never made that mistake again!!
PS I have an Armstong Sidley single cylinder diesel in need of rather a lot of TLC if you're interested John.
