Anyone else remember the 1980s when at a bus station with about 20 Leyland National, Atlanteans and MCWs in clouds of blue smoke in the winter lol

​@@glitchFan2428We had the export version of this bus in Jamaica during the 50s & 60s The Jamaica Omnibus Service . These buses still remain the best set of buses ever went to Jamaica . J.O.S got Leyland Nationals in 1973 to replace them & they died out by 1981 . Many of them went on for years with private bus owners for years after J.O.S closed in 1983 .

This was the 1 st true modern looking bus that came to Jamaica with 4 headlights & lighted billboards over the windows . The beauty of these buses came out at night when they light them billboards at night .

It's running, but going strong....? If an engine runs it does not mean that all is well with it.

A very rare sight, nice to see the buses still being able to run after retirement

Still started quicker than some of the new streetlites down my way 😂

Still a sight to behold tho

The paint is nice and shiny but the engine is not well, too much smoke and 1 cylinder is obviously not firing properly.

Now compare that with a Leyland National Mk1 starting up. With the proper engine that is. I don't know if a Tiger Cub should clag so much on starting.

Wow watch out Lawrence Gardner, I did not know an O350 Leyland Napier could chuck out that amount of smoke, the driver should let the starter cool a few minutes and not lean on it like a drunken tart at a bar. Throttle down a quarter travel, box in neutral then press the tit, listen for the starter speeding up when the engine fires blip the throttle a few times then idle to warm up.

Smoke has a blue tinge (burning lube oil) - indicating the engine is worn out and compression at starting revs is barely enough. He has to keep the starter going that long. Each compression stroke leaves the cylinder a bit warmer, until it is warm enough to ignite the fuel. If he rests it, the little compression heat it has will be lost and it will not start.

Regarding worn cylinder blocks, I know even with a petrol engine excessive blue smoke @@keithammleter3824 is a sign of of worn cylinders, valve guides and piston rings. But due to the scarcity of serviceable Leyland Napier O350 cylinder blocks the Tiger Cub owner had no choice but keep the worn block in service,. Lack of pre heating, like glow plugs makes starting difficult, ask any owner of Polly Perkins 'P and R' Series diesels notorious for poor starting in cold weather.

Engine definitely needs a service. It shouldn't be smoking that much. Its like a 2 stroke gas engine that is running too rich.
