Cold Start of a 1972 Ruston Hornsby 3YDA Diesel Generator in HD

This is our 1972 Ruston Hornsby 3YDA diesel generator, 3 phase, 32 KVa, 24 KW, 415 Volts @ 1500 rpm. It had not been started in at least 4 years. Needs a major over haul. This generator has now been replaced by two smaller Kirloskar gen sets as our power backup needs have reduced.
