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.

Unfortunately I am only conversant with the Lister type commencer, I have an old Winget mixer with a ST1 as original equipment, we built the whole shell of a three bedroom house on less than a gallon of cherry, She starts first time every time.
