It seems to take nearly 10 minutes to get started. What’s actually happening? Are the pistons literally unable to move in the cylinders until the engine is warm enough?

    Not enough of the ol’ Party Gas, Class 50 needs two full cans at least 😀

        Party Gas=Ether aka Easy Start (or “Start ya bastard” in Australia). Sprayed into the air intake to encourage reluctant engines to fire up. It was a frivolous humourous remark, I think you’d need unfeasibly large cans for an engine that size 😀
