1956 Deutz MAH 916 Start-up and run

A full video on the 916 start-up. Managed to fix the starting injector's blocked nozzle using bread (yes, bread) and pressure, but it's not working 100% yet as I haven't been able to adjust the injection pressure correctly. This MAH 916 is a horizontal single cylinder, 1.81l that produces 16 HP, runs on diesel and is water cooled. It weighs approximately 460 Kg. Even though it only has one cylinder, it is equipped with two injectors: one as starting aid and the other for running. There is a selector valve in the injector pressure line as seen in the video.
For an engine that is about 68 years old, it still runs very well!

Nice running engine, congratulations
I´m restoring now a 92 years old Deutz MAH 611, ( much smaller engine). What color did you use to paint it? I has been told that the original color was RAL 3011

[@VintageEngineRestorer4061]

@@FBarrao this is from an email straight from DEUTZ in Germany when I enquired about the original paint colour (I used the RAL 3011):
"brown/red RAL 3011, grey RAL 7037, black RAL 9005 or acc. Customer requirement." Good luck with your project! That engine is quite vintage, wow.

@@VintageEngineRestorer4061 Thank you very much for the info very usefull!!

@@FBarrao no problem. If you want I can send you the old timer's email address if you want to find more info for your specific Deutz. He even sent me a copy of the original micro fish tape of the delivery note for my engine, very interesting to know. He seems to control the old Deutz engine archives.

@@VintageEngineRestorer4061 Yes, I contacted him, and with the serial number they sent to me the paper from 1932 when the engine left the factory. But I asked them also the color, and he didn´t answer to me nothing about this..

[@VintageEngineRestorer4061]

@@FBarrao alright, well at least now you have that information.

Useless crap

[@VintageEngineRestorer4061]

It might be useless crap today, but decades ago these machines played a key role in our society. This engine was shipped from Germany to Johannesburg to a company called Steelmetals Ltd. So you can imagine the life this engine would've had at a steelworks, supplying power to various machinery.
All I am doing is sharing these old machines with everyone to show where we came from back then and how far we came.
