Have you started a diesel engine with it.?

 

[r4dent]

The remote starting terminals under the MoHo bonnets can be a couple of inches too far apart for some power packs to clip on both.
If you do get a pack it is worth checking this before you need the starter for real.

My solution is a piece of copper piping hammered flat at each end and a hole drilled in one end.
The hole is then put over the threaded -ve terminal and lock nuts added to avoid it vibrating loose.
Because it is the - terminal there is no concern about it shorting against the chassis.

Never used it for real on the Moho but have used it on the EV when the 12v discharged while we were away for a while.

His is a saab diesel and started with a dead battery which would not even put the side lights on.

I had this one because it has a compressor to blow the tyre up, i`m fed up with carrying the spare battery and compressor from the shed.

I have the same one, it has started my 2.8JTD Fiat from a dead battery, well worth having

The compressor is so low cfm it would take a week to blow a big van tyre up, i have a small 3.5 cfm mains compressor at home and it takes about three goes or more from a full head of 125psi to get my 225/75/16 tyres up from 45psi to 75psi.

I've got a small rechargeable compressor Trev. I bought it to carry with me on the bike but I keep it in the van now.

It will pump one of the van's tyres up to 60PSI in about 7 or 8 minutes from nearly flat and still have plenty left.

Must be a good one with a high cfm, my tank unit stops at least 3/4 times and i have to empty the tank to get it to go back up to 125psi, it then stops transfaring air at about 65psi to which i have to go over the same cr-p again, possably a pump like yours for keeping in the van is a better job.
So thats my next buy, better have a whip round.
