Me and my mate were trying to get one going at the Bala Lake Railway, it hadnt run in ten years so after three evenings, an oil change, fuel change, a whole can of easy start and a very badly bruised leg we got it going, doesnt miss a beat. Im hoping to buy it soon if the owner agrees to sell.

Would never use easy start on these things.The ruston that I occasionally drive doesn't start easy but does so if you fill the oil pots on top of the engine with oil and let it soak for ten minutes. Creates a good seal on the rings and starts alot easier. The little 28hp simplex you hav really shouldn't need easy start to get going. Ten cranks round decompressed with full throttle then a couple compressed should start it easily.
