Werkspoor 8-cylinder diesels Start Up

Post by gunz2000 »

hello, new to this bord but that maybe someone could help me out, im not a marine engineer but i am a millwright that plays with diesel engines, anyways im writing a paper and need the Start-Up Procedure that would be used to start a werkspoon 8 cylinder engine, im guessing a standard start up could be adapted to this but i have nothing right at the moment so just taking a stab in the dark here but any help would be cool,

thanks

I haven't started one of them in 18 years. The only thing different that I remember, was you had to hand crank the cylinder lubricators before blowing through. Everything else was as any other marine engine.
