Can the d24 run without electricity?

[Aalsen]

Hi, I’m doing research for a book.

After an emp bomb fries all the electric components in an old Volvo 740 diesel, will the d24 engine be capable of still running? The 12V battery will survive this, but all electrical components, such as the dynamo and "motherboards", will be fried.

The d24 is hard to come by so I don’t have an opportunity to test this myself.

If the engine has a mechanical pump, and the throttle has a wire, is it possible? If not, what would it take to make the engine run through an emp blast?


All hell appreciated
