Sounds like she's Cummins L10 powered

That's because she is powered by the Cummins L10. In this case the L10 has electronics as the bus is a 1993 model (the 1987-88 and 1990 Flxible Metro B's used the mechanical L10s).

She sounds great BTW! Both MARTA and Cobb Community Transit also used to have Cummins L10 Flxibles with Voith trannies.
Cobb Community Transit also had some Flxibles with the Cummins M11 and ZF.
They sure did, and I use to love riding them too, and at times they sound like the Series 60 even at idle, "just in my opinion."
That D.C. MetroBus Flxible Metro sounds like the Santa Clara VTA ones.
