5LW. Super machinery, so balanced it doesn't need a vibration damper on the front of the crankshaft. I had one with the 2UC box and reduction gear in my fishing boat. Super smooth, super reliable. Ran like a sewing machine!
Always a danger with a wet exhaust if it does not start right away and the engine is kept turning over i have seen it happen before where it just ends up pumping sea water back up the wet exhaust line into the engine via the exhaust valve
I Reckon it was Too much Work on Him , It could have been Done Quicker, with Kerosene, I’ve Been at them and Working Gardners for 35 Years they are a Hardy Engine .
We met Joe and Rob in Otaru and are currently sailing together in Alaska. Happy to see the Gardner engine all fixed and running.

Good video. Thanks for posting. I have seen this several times when the pull stop has been left out.
Oh well, at least you got a trip to Japan out of it.
Be nice to see it running
Would be like poetry in motion, cheers from Tasmania
Starter Motors must be Some Beasts .
@@darrenfarrell-bn2cb gardner engines usually start on first compression
Years ago they Used Kerosene. Or paraffin to free them but that was a Good Job going the way you want.
