I work on these. While they may be jap owned, Sulzer is obviosly a German engine, and German design. They don't use starter motors, it injects "start air" into the cylinders in the proper sequence, then you open the fuel rack and bang.....Bang...BangbangbangBabababbaba.....! If you want to go in reverse, you stop the engine, slide the cam for the fuel pumps and fire her off backwards!!!!!! And yes, you stay in line with the crank if you suspect trouble brewing! We could idle ours at 19 rpm.
