Had my pony start, run, and die, took me a minute to find the problem - broken spring. Check your governor spring. I didn't have a new one, but I did have some wire.... Got me going.
Good catch!
Ummm... note to self, file this for later use.
Have to work the lever on one of mine when having trouble getting a pony running. Should take it apart and oil the parts inside one of these days. The spring is okay though.
Dear forum members, my name is marcel wakker and I lives sinds 2017 in the VAE, I buy overhere a cat D2 without running the pony, I don't now iff their is a technical problem or perhaps I make a fold for startup, if anybody can help me for a link so I can see how to start exactly, on you tube I cannot not see it very well how to start.
Hope one of you can help me, thx in advance, best regards Marcel
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Some instruction I have seen recomends removing a screw from the face of the pulley and filling with engine oil every so often. Don't ask me how to get to it, probably why it seldom happens. cheers WF

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
