| In this video I crank an older SD-70 that was on the fuel pad. They're shutting down all engines for fuel conservation. There's no governor on this engine because it uses EMDEC fuel injection. The fuel sight glass on the right indicates a fully primed engine when there's no bubbles in it, and the sight glass on the left is a bypass that lets you know if the fuel filters are clogged. Also, this engine had a "no companion alternator output" fault on startup which was an easy fix, though I do investigate the slip rings in another video. Checking slip rings can be seen here: www.youtube.com |
