Lots of interaction in the last few weeks. Where you lot come from?
-
That starter is the real MVP
-
Honestly, the best diesel cold start video on the tube.
-
That was the most satisfying cold start I have ever heard in my life. I really appreciate you sharing this!
-
Omg that thumbnail sent my brain somewhere else
-
This is amazing how a Cummins diesel generator still starts very well in cold weather, even after 15 years stopped! I hope you share this video on another platforms such as Instagram.

My 1974 Pontiac Catalina with the Pontiac 400 cubic inch/6.55 literV8 engine and its very large two-barrel carburetor used to start like that in Winter. A few of the cylinders would start first, then more would eventually join the party. Never left me stranded in cold weather.

I'm amazed every time that the batteries are able to continuously supply the starter with power for 45 seconds. And that the starter does not burst into flames. With slightly weaker batteries, there would be no emergency power here, not even after 82 seconds. It's reassuring to know you have such a monster by your side. :-)

Loved the video from 15 years back, love this one. See you in another 15 years! haha
-
Gotta love the sound of a 14ltr Cummins.. will really sing once its under load, Bet your not on Gretas Christmas card list now!
-
Brilliant! Genuinely amazed to see this getting fired up again. Superb!
-

-
Good ole old start cold start, greetings from the USA, happy holidays to you
-
Brings back memories from my old marine engineering days..... Have a good Christmas Simon. Take care. :-)

That exhaust leak needs fixing as it's pumping smoke into the building, the outside exhaust is huge!, looks like a bit of industrial chimney pipe.
-
A very close cousin of this engine is used in quite a lot of trains. By turning it on its side and rearranging the cooling system somewhat, it can fit under the chassis of a carriage along with a hydraulic transmission. The sound is very similar too.
-
Lol... That's for greta...love it Simon
-
Good to see the exhaust leak from the original video is still there.
-
Wish I had one of those badboys in my garage, that cold start would cause some fun with the neighbours!
-
Good to have you back !
