I’ve been told a side benefit to unleashing the fire extinguisher contents into a runaway diesel intake is that it works great as a upper cylinder and valve cleaner as well.

Remember to put oil in it. Our competitor didn't and during a power outage they reported that their generators were running and more diesel was being delivered, shortly before going completely dark. Turns out, they never ran their generator tests long enough to discover that there was no engine oil in them.

When you have air in the fuel line of a diesel, cover the air intake while cranking the engine. This creates vacuum and sucks the air bubbles through. Then it fires right up.

It’s the rpm of the engine that will set the Hz. So, like said above once it’s loaded down a little it’ll be fine. If not can just adjust the rpm until it is.
Never underestimate the dangers of a runaway diesel engine. While I haven't witnessed this directly, I have been witness to the aftermath. 'twas on a (very new) fishing boat and the engine was connected to a three phase alternator that supplied almost all of the AC requirements on the boat. Normally the engine would run at 1500 RPM, three phase 415 alternator with 240 AC from phase to neutral. Not sure how fast the engine ended up before it turned into shrapnel, but ALL of the electrical equipment downstream was turned into junk!

How can you expect it to pull straight when you’re using a bent chain? Plus when your inclined planes are made to Whitworth specifications, that does help either.
had some real fun this fall after a piston change on the ol john deere inline 6. disconnected the sediment bulb to prevent someone from trying to start the turd hauler and completely forgot about it once ready to start. thought there was air in the lines so we cracked the injectors to bleed only to entirely fill the system with air. a fun 3 hour bleed of the whole thing was just what the doctor prescribed.

Old city transit trick. When changing the fuel filter, fill it up with atf, makes it easier to prime and the fluid will clean the injectors
I'm sure AFT would work well for an 80s engine, but maybe stick with diesel. also, fill up the oil filter before you put it on
