[SEL] O.T. Test now question about touch paper

[maytagtwin at aol.com]

Hi Jim,


I have a German made Benz diesel stationary (about 5 hp) with solid flywheels that uses the cigarette shaped paper ignitor.? A unique feature about this engine is it is mounted on a one wheel (wheelbarrow style) cart and the exhaust exits through the metal handles of the cart which slide (trombone style)for transport and slide back flush for running or storage.? It is hopper cooled.


Regards,

Thank you George and Bob for your replies,    That sounds like quite a unique way to start an engine. I've heard of some   aircraft engines that use a starter cartridge, but the Field Marshall is the   first one I've heard of using touch paper to start.

Test now question about touch paper          Been over a year since I last started my Field Marshall, but I take a sheet of   the starting paper I made years ago and cut off a strip.  About 1-1/4 to 1-12"   wide and around 3" long.  You then roll the paper up into a fairly tight roll.    If your strip was not too long the rolled up paper should fit into the end of   the paper holder.    Another way to look at it, is the roll of paper is about the same diameter as a   cigarette.  I've seen a person use a cigarette in pla
 ce of a starting paper, but   I've never tried it.    Lighting the starting paper is only done after you've prepared everything else   to be ready to start.  After you light the paper, I usually blow on it to make   sure it is burning (smoldering is more like it) then screw it into the cylinder   head.  Wait a few seconds, then strike the 12 gauge firing pin and with a little   luck your Field Marshall is running.

I'm not familiar at all   with that engine. I have read about some Diesel engines that had a port into   which was stuffed an oily rag that was then lit to help warm up the cylinder.
