I had my boat in storage for 5 years (4018 marine version), put a battery in it pushed the fuel filter primer a few times until it felt heavy (marine version not sure your version has it) and it started up like it ran 5 minutes ago, it also cranks slower than yours, think you might have compression problems. *edit* I never use the pre heater thing as it's not needed at all unless it's way below freezing.

Very straight forward....🛵🛵

Buddy of mine has one of these. If I can get it, it's going in my mazda

Buen día,
Me gustaría saber cuales son los primeros pasos para saber si el motor Perkins está suelto y que debo hacer antes de arrancarlo?
El motor en cuestión ha estado inactivo durante 30 años. Soy de Portugal

Did you really put new pistons and rings in a old bore??

Hi, i used a horning tool in the cylinddr. They were within specs. This engine has no bore sleeves. Cheers

@@BarcelonaAustinA35 the perkins has sleeves, I thought. The parts guys all sell them. Its just like my boat engine and the starters are a stress point and Ive installed a gear driven chinese starter with a shim adapter and it works great, and reduced the huge amp draw of the old Delco starter that is about 90 pounds, also much smaller/lighter. (great old engine) Just put some warmth on it prior to starting, sit a heater in front of it for half an hour. The combustion needs this to help it light the fire, a heat gun on the cylinder head would also work. In really cold temps theyre impossible to start but when its warm they go off instantly.
