    Samofa 2-S-108

    Quote: I'm pleased to report too that I've had it running now. Finally got it to fire after putting about 10cc of oil into each cylinder via the exhaust valves, visible and accessible with an oil can via the exhaust port! When you put oil in the cilinders, you get more compression. I assume that you have worn out or broken piston rings. It's also possible that they are stuck to the pistons. When you use parrafin, the engine will start smoother and much quicker. Blue smoke is oil. Black smoke is diesel. Grey/white smoke is water. At last the decompression and compression stand.

    Samofa 2-S-108

    Im sorry forum members, imageshack deleted the pictures as it is no longer for free. Ill try again. Plungerpump: Plungerpump and rotating pump: In pumphouse Cremer with rotating pump: Samofa 1s108 with 2 flywheel's: Two types of fuelpumps: The last picture shows the knob which you have to use for starting the Samofa. Put it on stand 3. (decompression) Then turn the flywheel round as quikly as you can. When stand 0 shows up, the engine will go automaticly in the compression stand and fire up. hope you understand my English writing.

    Samofa 2-S-108

    The Samofa type s108 has been produced with 2 watercooling systems. There is a well known system with a plunger pump. There are as far as I know two water plunger systems that were used. (There seem to have been at least 2 fuel pump systems used as well) ! The other system is a sealed cooling system using a radiator and a fan pump. See Photo. The fan pump is located on the opposite side from the fuelpump The flywheel on the s108 engine can be placed on either side There are even some engines with 2 flywheels. As Mr. Bargemast explained on the forum, Samofa was a cooperation between the four big engine producers The shares in the company was as follows: Kromhout 40% Bolnes 20% Industrie 20% Brons 20% At that time it was too expensive for the large engine producers each to retool to make smaller help motors They decided to start a joint project and put a new factory in Harderwijk. Even though the factory opened in April 1950, some Samofa motors had already been sold Because Kromhout were the farthest in their development of the smaller help engines it was decided to use mainly their components to build the engines, They were already producing the 3,4,6 and 8 cylinder engines of this type. So actually the first engines produced were Kromhouts under the Samofa name.. Coincidently, Kromhout also cooperated with Gardner in the U.K. so you could almost say that a Samofa is a Gardner! @ MtB: Would it be possible for you to place a Photo of your Samofa? Could you let me know the engine number? Best regards, Eric bronssie on the forum

    Samofa 2-S-108

    Hi folks, I'm new here on the forum and from Holland, maybe I can help you with the subject Samofa. The real Samofa engines are the types S108 and the 95 series. Later they built licensed Hatz diesels, the 80 series. In the 1980's Mitshubishi bought the shares of Samofa and a few years later the name Samofa dissapeared. If necessery, I can post pictures of the different engines. The best site for Samofa is: http://www.samofa.nl/Samofa/Samofa_Holland.html You will find leaflets, history and a lot of other information. Of course it's in Dutch, but everyone understands pictures and numbers. Another site where you can ask questions (in English) about Samofa is this one: http://bronsforum.xsbb.nl/viewforum.php?f=20 For manuals have a look here: http://bronsforum.xsbb.nl/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=814079 Hope this is of help to you or otherwise, sent me a pm. Bronssie
