XS1100 0 Posted January 1, 2011 If Like me you like big old diesel engines you might like this.This old D8 as a small petrol engine to start the big diesel as you can see it takes a wile as the big diesel need to use the heat from the petrol engines exhaust to warm up the engine oil helps it to turn over and also the diesel to start it.sounds nice.
