oups don't know the word in English ?
In French we say "virer le moteur" it mean before start your engine you turn it manually to be sure no water or nothing block it.
The old Baudouin you "open" the compression and turn the engine with a rod bar.
Even on the 32 lt Poyaud you can do that (without " open "the compression)
you have a special tool you fit at one place like starter and you can turn the engine to check.
But no more this possibility on newer engines ? (ok still possible on small one )
Before start my Cat who don't work during few month it will be good if we can doing that.
You know I am a man who always thinking the worst and : if some leak of coolant, if some leak of raw water, if
Another example before engine had an additional pump for put the oil pressure BEFORE the start , no more ?
On older model, for example our former Perkins ok it was easy manually push the stop on the injection pump and run few time the starter until you got pressure and start...
But on the modern one ... no more manual option all by "electronic" and I really don't know what could happen to this "electronic"if I give to her two contradictory "order" turn the start and push the stop ....
..
For me it is scary because after month stop I don't like start without this elementary precaution.
Anyone here already fit a "vireur" manual or electrical ) on their Cat ?
