Hello, I became the owner of such a car 15ld350... the spray nozzle is clogged... Under what pressure should the nozzle be adjusted? I didn't find this parameter in the instructions....

Hi. Why do diesel motors typically come with electric ignitions as you say? I have a G107 diesel and find it very difficult to start but find that the cost of adding an electric ignition is too expensive to even consider it. Any guidance you can give on how to make the pull start easier would be very welcome. Love your videos - all really informative

Since diesel engines have a MUCH higher compression ratio than a gas engine, diesels are very hard to pull "manually", by their very nature, and this cannot be changed. Therefore, we only stock the diesels in an electric-start configuration. (The engines are available from the factory as manual-start, but we just don't stock them this way)

EarthtoolsKy what is the shaft size for a replacement engine? And do you sell a kit to convert to a Deisel?
