A neighbor had a 1972 Mercedes 220 diesel when I was growing up. I remember this routine for him in the winter, but wow did he love that car.:) I liked the exhaust smell!

Mujhe petrol diesel smoke smeel bohot pasand hai

Nice video! I'm a bus driver un Spain and I Love those machines, congrats!!

Beautiful start ups

It's a skilled bus that can produce a smoke ring 3:56

Wow you are really a patient person brother i appreciate it

God giving those starters a heck of a work out

Yeah eventually they will have to replace the starters on some buses depending on the battery power. It takes to operate the starter.

The real hero in these videos are the batteries!!

Mmmm love all these buses hard starting, sputtering and all that diesel smoke. I would really love to be there cranking them and enjoying all that diesel smoke.

Omg 2:50 i wish I could stand in the smoke and inhale. Would have smell amazing

Not a bus but ive seen my RV start, its a decently old diesel, no computer control, nothing really modern in it, a big, loud, smokey engine

Our buses start normally and don't have to crank for so long! Even at temperatures below -10°C!

Stupid question: on rear engine pusher buses, why do they open the engine compartment?

👍👍👍

0:43 idk why but I laughed at this part

All these bused have cool sounds

Good old Detroit wind on that starter cause you know you only get one good hard roll and holder till she blows off. Every time it hits its making more heat and more heat is one step closer to firing. Stoping allows it to cool down and then ur starting over again. Been starting my 8v71 with the original starter for 20 years that way and still have a great starter its how they were made to be used

True for pretty much all engines

The first clip shows how to properly start a cold 2-stroke Detroit. Constantly winding on a starter doesn’t do anything but wear a starter out. Short starting bursts with time for the heat to build up is the right way. These idiots that continuously wind on the starter need a bicycle to ride.

Provost. You couldn’t be more Wrong about that starting procedure,when starting these cold diesels keep stopping the starter when the engine is trying to fire up is crazy,all the time the starter is operating the engine is building up enough heat for it to fire up,short bursts on the starter achieves Nothing but loss of heat plus it takes more energy to get the engine turning over again,I have been a diesel fitter for over 50years starting engines in all conditions,most of the time drivers WONT use the starting aids that the manufacturers fit for cold start situations. Swedish trucks and buses are fitted with proper cold start facilities that heat the inlet manifold so that the fuel can ignite properly and start up without all this smoke nonsense saving both the planet and starter motors,excess fuel devices also help when drivers can be bothered to use them.

@Sheepdog_81 You’re having a laugh,I have been working on Diesel engines for over 50years,your talking out of your ARSE like a lot of of these so called mechanics that like to think they know it all,and I have run Diesel engine cars since they appeared here in the UK in 1984. All that smoke is unburnt fuel because the engine isn’t warm enough to burn it properly and the colder the weather the worse the problem is so don’t insult my intelligence by saying that I don’t know what I’m talking about. Gardner Diesels which were the most reliable engine ever built were one of the worst engines to get running in cold weather because all these EXPERTS like yourself didn’t know there was an excess fuel device fitted to the fuel pump so they could be started easily and if that failed you had to resort to putting a flame down the inlet manifold,and I don’t know what I’m talking about your full of it, Pillock.

David, for a moment, just enjoy this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4Su18SPoK-_ccY.html And the OP is Prevost, not Provost ! I'm glad the follow-up comments all clearly disagree with the OP - as do I Drivers not using starting aids - ABSOLUTELY ! I used to work for a builder who owned a garage - car maintenance & selling petrol. We didn't work on many cars, most of our time was repairing builders' equipment ! We'd get a phone call from the boss - "the tractor won't start" they used a farm tractor & trailer to move builders' rubbish. I'd go to the tractor - now with a flat battery and even with a flat battery, it'd start first time for me. It had a Thermostart fitted and as a starting aid, it's the most impressive variety I know of. Somewhere in the 1970s the new style of injector pumps came out where use of the accelerator pedal turned off the excess fuel feature. An idiotic design since previously the recommended technique was flat out with the pedal - which made starting take forever.

That made me chuckle!

Would b better if u are able to preheat the engine on a cold morning like that,,,,I,m suprised in some of those videos that the starter motor doesn't burn out,,, ,taking that long to get the engine going altogether.

2:55

1:50 😂

5:00 MBE904, I'll be glad when these underpowered things are done and gone.

The easiest way to start a Diesel is put a couple of mil of gasoline in the intake, wait a couple of seconds to vapourise then start. Don't use too much as will knock badly.

The bus fuel

I thought the red painted engine are Cumming guess i'm wrong, usually when the engine is painted red, its a cummings, when the engine is painted yellow, its a Cat engine.

The size for the worst starting engines of all time has to go to Leyland. In fact I have never seen a single video of one starting up in what I consider a normal start time. Yes, also when compared to contemporary engines. My best guess it has to do with the fuel pump design, but good cold start performance was obviously not a high priority at Leyland.

Manchen sollte man wirklich mal erklären, daß es Sinn macht, den Anlasser mal länger als nur 2 Sekunden drehen zu lassen.

Where are you from guys ? :)
