40 HP Hot Bulb Engine startup with massive amount of sparks and smoke

This crude oil hot bulb engine hadn't been started for over 40 years, and had a lot of carbon deposit and oil gunk in the crank case. This created a lot of smoke, fire and sparks. Enjoy!

hey man do you need to keep the blow torch burning all the time the engine runs?

Might it run better if the hot bulb was at a temperature its original Engineers might recognise? Looks a bit hot to me, but then I read how it hasn’t run in 40 years. Burning out the gunk then!

Did that guy use a pipe to send the smoke towards the others looking at it?

It's over fueling very badly ‼️ most likely bad injector. Stuck Open ☝️✔️
