Its an oil burner, not gas. The turbo seemed pretty naffed, when i was helping him to try and get it started a while later. The hose from the intercooler to engine was disconected, sprayed oil up the inside of the bonnet and windscreen. Later inspection found the intercooler full of oil.Have you ever tried to run a gas engine on crankcase oil? Plus the throttle butterfly would have to be wide open. He better have a better story than that. Apparently he was asleep in the gasoline engine 101 class.

Hi gear might not be an option with hydro eh ?
That may explain it!
Many (all?) hydrostats that I have seen - IF they even have a brake peddle, it is mech linked to the controls so that you cannot try to stall it.
Good catch!
