I have the same Situan Sifa MB168F. That dirty motor oil is abrasive carbon. Get it overboard. I made a .787 inch to 1 inch crankshaft adapter and a 7 inch pulley likes 1 inch. The oil consumption will surprise you. It wants a plate aluminum mounting base and a square steel or sheet steel mount will always flex and damage the hollow mounting lugs. I avoid high revs and very low idle. In 25 hours of gentle break in, it should run sweet. I never cracked the fuel nut loose. Avoid ether starting and flame. If you must do cold, use hot water on the cylinder head. Most vegetable oils are contaminated with glycerol.
One thing to bear in mind when mixing used engine oil with diesel fuel to run a diesel engine is the acids which accumulate in engine oil as a byproduct of the combustion process can eventually deteriorate the seals in the injection system. Although various vegetable oils are perfectly acceptable to run in a diesel engine, vegetable oils have a slightly lower BTU per pound rating than diesel fuel, so a 10% decrease in available horsepower can be expected. "Vegging it" is a trend used by some diesel car owners to run their vehicles on used deep fryer oil from fast food restaurants.

Not bad for 200 bucks 😊

I appreciate the thorough comment and information!
Going to buy one and put it on a bicycle.
I have 300 gallons of used engine oil great for free fuel.
Good idea!!
You have to turn your phone the other way opposite of tictoc. If you do this your video will fill the screen unless you are making a TH-cam short
I was trying to figure this out!!! It kept making them shorts. You’re the best, thanks!!!
