A screamin 2 stroke, what's not to like!!

If you want a professional Belarus stuntman to drive it, I can always send the clueless polar bear 👌🏼

Good to see you looking a bit better George! - Hearing that 2 stroke scream reminded me of the old Castrol R motorbike days! Anybody else remember the lovely aroma they left hanging in the air?
Can’t wait to see that big Belarus burst into life - could well be another Greta “how dare you“ moment, ha ha 😉😂 Don’t keep us waiting too long George!

Looking forward to the main engine start.. Thanks George great vid sir....

Excellent video - love the fuel tank fix. Good to see your work is being overseen by your Senior Domestic Management.

I can only imagine how beautiful that 2 stroke smell is😎

Still can't get my head round sizeable tractor sounding like a nerk on a scrambler 🤣. That ford sign in your shack is so nice

[mikeclifton]

Excellent work, I imagine that trying to get life into the machine 'in the field' poses additional problems, but you got it in the end. Fettling the carb, ignition system and the like can wait until better workshop facilities are available. Keep up the good work.

Well done George, the donkey engine is purring like a moped👃🚜🛵

Great video again George that 2 stroke soon jumped into life!! Hopefully the main engine will start just as easy, I’ve got one of those T-Shirts and made very well too. Fenland Rob

To make the donkey start better try opening the valve on top of the cylinder by the spark plug & giving it a few squirts of oil 👍, looks great crawler, have DT75M myself

Nothing like the smell of 2 stroke in the morning! What a cliff hanger, once that beast fires up I think it will be ready to rip your house off the foundations good luck with it :)

Well done George and Liz getting the pony motor to run well enough to get it running well the motor when running sound's sweet probably needs a bit of TLC on carb and plug points dose the motor pre heat the main engine be good to see it start up keep up the good work. PS I have a 1950 cat D315 US ARMY gen set it a D4 engine pony motor start to it great to get them fired up take care see you on next update

That's probably a luxury export version with the starter for the Donkey engine. Usually they come with with a flywheel and string, but adapters for usual electric starter are available. Plenty of these around in Latvia also with dozer blade at the front.
