Nice job. No music, no talking over the top, no revving the nuts off it when it's cold. Sensible and enjoyable. Just to listen to it warming up is a great start to the day.

Brings back memories... Drove MC7s and MC9s for about 4 years back in the mid 1980s...all had 6V71NAs. Flatland Motorcoaches. 315 miles from Bloomington IL to O'Hare and back. Usually had a few hours layover and just let them idle and catch a few Z's after lunch... soundest sleep I can remember was being sang a lullaby performed by the Detroit Diesel Municipal Orchestra! Miss those days and nights, never a breakdown in close to a million miles! Thanks for the Memories! Bruno Biava ⚓

Put a hair dryer or heat gun into the intake, preferably without the filter. starts a lot faster. Propane torches or weed burners work too. Heat up the manifold on the outside first, then stick the torch in the intake and start cranking

When I drove school buses, we had an old international cab over bud we’d use as the spare bus. I came to the yard and someone used my bus for an after school run and damaged my crossing arm so off to the international I went. Thing took like 5 minutes to start but when it did, the damn smile on my face hearing this engine roar made me always want to take that bus 😂

In the 1970s, I used to drive a Commer two-stroke lorry (a TS3) in the UK, it was always a pig to start in cold weather. I used to take the top off of the air filter, light a piece of newspaper and drop it in, then run around and turn the key - believe it or not, it used to start really well with that proceedure.

@holysirsalad Жыл бұрын

Sounds like the official startup procedure on a Field Marshall! (sans the blank shotshell) Detroit had an "arctic start" package that included a burner that mounted in the air intake. Just a nozzle spraying diesel and a spark plug really. I think there are a couple other manufacturers that did similar, including an electric version.

With a Detroit , the 8 second rule works wonders. Crank the engine for 8 seconds , allow it to sit for 8 seconds . It does not overheat the starter, does not drain the batteries to quickly and acts as a pre heat. I had a 8V92 Silver in a 79 COE PETERBILT. I miss that Truck.

Reminds me of when I was driving a tow truck part time and had to bring it home with me over night. Winter time, and I had to plug in the block heater. I did, and went to bed. Got up at like 3AM for the first call and the block heater blew the fuse, and was colder than a witch's tit. Took about 20 minutes of fiddling around before I was on the road.

I’ve started many an old school mechanical diesel the exact same way. Crank it a couple seconds , stop a couple, crank it again, stop , crank nail you build a little heat in the cylinders then when you have just enough it starts and you don’t overheat the starter. Looks like it was at least 20 degrees F or less

What's the ambient temperature? Glad you didn't use any ether, a lot of people seem quick to turn to the ether to get these old diesels going. But surely there is some consequence over time.

Yeah they become what's known as ether dependent It's like a drug they get a sniff of that crack and they wanted every single time. So many of those older ones would come dependent on it I had a shiny 290 that was like that when I bought it years ago the guy he threw the piss out of it constantly and that was the only way you could get it started it needed that crack.
