De Havilland Chipmunk engine priming and starting

Follow
Vaughn Davis

First engine runs after restoration of Chipmunk WZ865. First start revealed a carburettor issue so we swapped out for a spare and as you’ll see had no problems running after that.

A couple of small issues showed themselves pop them in the comments if you can spot them! Nothing that can’t be fixed with time, skill and an attic full of spares.

See my other video for a detailed deep dive into the Gipsy Major 10 Mk 2 engine (shot 30 happy flying hours after this video).
