Just bought a much neglected Pasquali 988. This is air cooled 2 cylinder Lombardini diesel, which i am not familiar with. Runs good and has plenty of power with exceptional stability, which i need.
I use a chipper a great deal and wondwr about standing operation of an air cooled engine with no way to monitor temps.
Thinking of installing an exhaust gas temp monitor. So what would be a maximum temp to look for? Also, if anyone has air cooled diesel experience, how does ypur engine monitor air temps (before I drill and tap my exhaust manifold)?
Also would like feedback on oil temperatures, as i have no working oil pressure gauge either.
