v-12 gas 3,200 cubic inch engine

[saffronwales]

seriosly, climax?

[BlooDish14]

climax LOL

[agt155]

I guess this is a British Coventry Climax engine.

[theboredredneck]

whats something this big used for?

[NHLGUITARMAN]

CLIMAX IS RIGHT!

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

sounds like an alco

[zanuha]

How many gallons per mile?

[hpjunky70]

So i take it the little engine is a gas burner and that starts the big diesel? Kinda cool. I live about an hr away for where that monster lived and worked so long ago.

[ericchevy1999]

@hpjunky70 Bolth are gas the big one uses a gallon a minute lol

[kraigcassida]

@hpjunky70 yea its also known as a "pony motor"

[Bill2Board]

That thing is not wallet friendly.

you can practically hear the money disappear when it starts.

[produKtNZ]

@Bill2Board Yea, but burning money has never sounded this good! :D

[95integranick]

will this fit in my yugo?



[thinkpad411]

To all the people wondering how you could crank the engine without a power source: engines as big as this usually have some kind of adapter at the starter sun/pinion gear which would use planetary gear reduction, to fit a socket or hand crank onto.

[uradragon]

incredible, like totally awesome

[MrDieselfumes]

thanks for the info, interesting engine

[MrDieselfumes]

what is something like this normally used in?

[FILIP1901160597]

@MrDieselfumes Its used in tanks and big flat ships that carry load. :D

[McmullenEJ]

@MrDieselfumes mostly used in applications labeled

"incomprehensible"

[Blargaldalien]

Chuck Norris just stares at it, and it starts, out of respect.

[flaviupodina]

lol its name is CLIMAX

[bobjr94]

I would like to hear that engine running with a load on it

[oBseSsIoNPC]

You know you have a big engine, when you need another smaller one to start it with!

I love fun facts!

[jdubcbr600]

huh, huh, thats a lot of engine to be using a pull starter!

[Viatox]

@jdubcbr600 The pull starter started the small motor, which started the big motor.

[optionen100]

Nice Starter :D

[daand12]

But does it blend?

[wv02m]

I wannna put that in a boat

[ivanhoe0007]

OOOH dude this engine sounds like hungry gojilla

[BigHeadFarm]

I wanna throw that bitch in the Subaru and see how she runs...

[domokid]

Because its cooler?

[RegrebEwuNews]

Ein herrliches Triebwerk! Der Startvorgang ist auch toll!

[mountainbiketheworld]

i climaxed when i heard this thing.........



[85projectcar]

whats with the little four cylinder?

[domokid]

@85projectcar

To start the bigger engine, obviously

[85projectcar]

@domokid i ment why would they have just put an electric starter on it

[wadesta1986]

@85projectcar You would probably need quite a large electric motor to start that thing, more than likely one that requires a power outlet, which would limit where you could take this motor. They say it was used to pump water, so I would say that they would want to move it all over the place.

[vasilii821]

Какой звук!!!

[Kolinsky19]

This is ideal engine to my Mario cart!

[elitecssplayer]

..............gas

[michaelovitch]

The question is : Does it fit my lawnmower ?

[macktheknife888]

52.5 litre.

[bulltexan1]

Because of the massive vibrations put out from this engine,,men standing near it for over a minute would get raging hard-ons,,and after five minutes,,well,,you get the picture.

Hence the name "Climax".

[Ultravore1]

Climax.... lololol xD

[teletubbykiller54]

Hey now there's what a prius's engine should be doing! Used as a donkey engine for a BIG fucked up V12!

[MegaZsolti]

@teletubbykiller54 that would die out under that v12 :P

[99rsk]

if you''re a real man you kickstart the thing

[MakinYouBad]

Notice they used a Mazda 4cyl as a starter for this thing. lol

[ericchevy1999]

@MakinYouBad Its actually a hercules flathead 4cylinder

[CCLLHALIFAX]

Keith Lemons starting an engine



[tinderinc]

looks like 4 spark plugs on top of the starter motor... is it a small 4cyl starter motor that starts the rest of the v12?

[jgmagoo1]

@tinderinc Yes, exactly.

[tinderinc]

@jgmagoo1 pritty cool setup I wish my lawnmower had that motor

[redkingrd]

lol that engine needed a little engine to start it lol

[KakashiHatake209]

pull start the starter to start? o-o

[Genis85]

haha climax.

[stevenmorookian16]

That engine runs pretty clean. I like it.

[Dav123xyz]

4 cylinder pony/starter motor........

I wonder he could pull that over. Nice one.

[sz42781]

I just climaxed

[belfast479]

any engine that impressive deserves a little scrape and paint

[mowrman100]

I must have watched this 20 times since May, 2011. Always makes me smile!

[ravingking]

thats a fucking BEAST

[tinlegs1000]

for a second there I about shit my self when he started it with a rope lol

[CUBEoneVX]

Damn that engine needs a smaller engine to start it lol.

[kraigcassida]

That damed pony motor is a 4 banger, lol

[thebowboy1]

mean while in russia

[scott93257]

That's a whole lotta Torque and Horsepower...AMAZING engine... What are the ratings of that thing? That guy had some arms to pull start that 4 cylinder donkey engine... No easy task...I have a Ford Focus out there I should give a try :D

[xFiveNineJeepx]

Will it fit in my Jeep?

[rickmanranger]

haha video man thought he started it with that pull cord! (thats the donkey engine eejit) sorry but thats quite funny

[rickmanranger]

haha video man thought he started it with that pull cord! (thats the donkey engine eejit) sorry but thats quite funny

[MrThebull09]

My dick is bigger than this

[scott93257]

@MrThebull09

Sir I have a lot of respect for ya then XD

[BTE1991]

please find a way to put that in my truck

[ZyGa737]

haha yslalem ze tego 12 garowca będzie na szarpak odpalał :D

[KOSECKI999]

@ZyGa737 to żle myslałeś i naucz sie pisac potem wypowiadaj

[clubtcb]

that's going in my monster truck



[TuttyFruttynuts]

I hope its the camara making it sound like a Peugeot 106.

*Hears the end* Oh right.

[MyMIXmedia]

That big engine is like a grandfather.

[stlchucko]

You know it's a huge engine when you need another gas engine to start it

[intheshitter]

Surprised there was no smoke.

[durko83]

i thought it sounded pissweak, untill........

[Qball914]

lol at having to start a motor......just to start the motor XD

[1helluva86]

that's one big weed wacker motor....pull start ha

[TheWarrenos]

it sure made me climax

[jf892]

that thing is a tree-huggers worst nightmare :P

[realvanman1]

Poor little engine hardly gets any exercise unless the big one doesn't start right away LOL! But I would like to know when it was made and what the HP and RPM ratings are...

[dezamet023]

How many horse power is it? :O

[Osw719]

an engine to start an engine? enginception??

[samfb9]

isnt that the guy that sais holly willabooby

[Pinups2Showboats]

HP?

[xxschlager420xx]

So to start the engine, you need to pull start a smaller engine. lolz

[820coke]

so wait does he pulls start a smaller starter motor to start the larger one ?

[control177]

@820coke yes its called a pony moter alot of tractors in the past used them to start up the main engine

[chuckbear1961]

Now thats a great engine. Slow speed and long life! I seen that engine in person at several shows.The 1,200 rpm speed makes it ideal for a large 6 pole 60 HZ generator. The pony motor is the same little engine used in the Allis Chalmers model "G" rear engine tractor......Makes a Ferrari engine look like a toy!!!

[TheDrutters]

@chuckbear1961 Size-wise, sure. Technology-wise, this is a toy.

[avonsearider]

すごいエンジンだねぇ！

[chena3]

that's a beast...

[LanceCampeau]

Cool... and engine to start another engine....

I like this idea.... MORE ENGINES, BIGGER ENGINES.

[neolexington]

That looks like something that would come out of Saginaw for sure.

[Lighthead440]

no smoke at all wow

[sigurd1979]

I love the pull string starter motor

[jaggass]

its something like a 50 litre v12

[Nikkodemis]

Thumbs up for the engine being called CLIMAX

[GooglFascists]

@Nikkodemis Yes because it meets 4 requirements every redneck worth his salt

needs to "get off":

1. Its LOUD

2. Its DIRTY

3. It BURNS prodigious amounts of EXPENSIVE FUEL.

4. It SCARES WOMEN.

[Malcrosternus]

MacGyver after 30 minutes in a hardware store.

[TheNiZzEShow]

@Malcros MacGyver doesnt need hardware he will just transfrom a software store into a hardware store.

[VREDFOX]

@Malcrosternus

or Chuck Norris just thinking about an engine

[leocrazy0987]

Looks like an old train motor

[Globus601]

sounds like a Bugatti Veyron >D 

[TeCrda]

a civic 1.6 vtech engine to kickstart this one LOOL

[MegaZsolti]

this isnt a vtec, this is a lot better than honda engine :P

[waynerd23]

how much do you want for it? I have a girl I need to impress... I would extend the front of my '90 Nissan Hardbody to fit this.

[BlacKSacrificE]

Well fuck. That starter motor is a 4 cylinder in-line. That meaty, meaty bastard pull-started a Honda engine 0_0

[DeserTBoB93535]

@BlacKSacrificE No jap crap there. That's a Continental.

[BlacKSacrificE]

@DeserTBoB93535 either way, that meaty, meaty bastard is pull starting a 4 cyl engine. I'm ok with that.

[jsesTM]

@BlacKSacrificE yea i was just thinkin that myself. i should go try to pull start my datsun and see what happens.

[HouTexCowboy]

Starting an engine with another engine is old school technology, Its camely called a pony motor. The old days that was the best way to start big engines like this, the big usually had some way of depressing the exhaust vavles so the pony motor couls start it.

[RRMF77]

@HouTexCowboy they have a compression relief rod that opens exhaust valves .050" it has adjustabale fingers that you set with a feeler guage alot of engines run the pony motor exhaust thru a pipe in the intake manifold to pre heat the air / this is old school but was effective as at the time battery and starter tech. was unreliable !! pony motors also have a two speed transmission and a dog clutch 2 speed is rollover then start

the first speed is to lube engine before start .

[1fornone]

I want one...Don't ask why

[Sprosapiuz]

2 stroke?

[bait28]

Who else at the first few seconds though he was actually trying to pull start the main engine.

[colbycous01]

no wonder my water bill is so high a gallon a min!

[MrBowtie95]

So this is kinda like trying to start a Semi with a go kart basically

[gullreefclub]

Using a Pony to Start the Stud Horse

[snaremj]

good lord, the starter motor is a moped engine. hahaha

[scottjinx]

Shit wen the vid first started i thought damn that big arse thing sounds like a 120Y Datsun then i realized it was juz the starter motor :)

[shstrang98]

Climax is a good name. Was the starter engine 4 cylinders? I thought I saw 4 plugs.

[mpwelk]

the pony engine sounds like a rusty Cavalier

[DarkKhanXX]

Gotta love V-12

[superstormj]

If you have to start your engine with another engine, you might be a redneck... ;)

[sfenodonte]

cc 8229,6

litri 230,9 per minute

[Lotus49b]

Ahh i love these meetings... Nevermind the actual engineeres who made them.. these guys get togeather and rev their engines.. and say... look what i bought!

[deman1877]

what's it used for?

[douro20]

Zenith carburetors, eh? Isn't it rather odd for an American-made engine to have English carburetors?

[fool4Jesus52]

In the sub I was on we had 4 Fairbanks Morse 38D81/8 engines. Two crankshafts, 10 cylinder, 20 pistons. We had a piston break and as we had drilled for a crancase explosion we did what we had to do to secure the engineroom. Never saw smoke so thick. The pistons would meet in the middle of the cylinder. I say HUH alot. Very loud.

[QuadLogic126]

@fool4Jesus52 Fairbanks Morse sucks at making engines. Their designs are from the 30's but yet somehow people still buy these mechanical failure-prone fuel guzzlers.

[mikem1524]

its pretty funny how that has a pull start

[broski1993]

Fuck, at first I thought he started the engine right away and I was like, what!? It sounds like a fucking four banger!

[itsapplied4]

IN texas we call that a Pony Motor Starter..Used to be on a lot of larger equipment ..this one looks like it is a continental or red seal . Not rel sure..

Excellant clip though!

[feritsbum]

In the UK we call the starter engine a 'donkey engine'. Sounds better than pony motor don't you think?

You know, like a donkey will carry a load where as a pony just trots around!

Diesel fuel price at May 2011 in the UK is around £1.40 a litre, Petrol is cheaper at around £1.35. There is around 3.8 litres in a US gallon and around 4.5 in a UK gallon!

We are being strangled into submission by the very people who we voted in to save us. Only the rich and celebrities mater in the UK now!!!!!

[elebeu]

@feritsbum Don't feel bad, we're going down the same road here in the U.S. thanks to our federal govt..

[cooterbrowntown]

pony motors cat had them on thier dozers for a long time

[SSRifleman]

Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. I like the "Climax" on the side !!

[175yam1]

nice

[trbf15]

on bulldozer's they were called pony motors

[HillbillyonaYZ]

@trbf15 Have also heard them called "donkey engines".

[LuckyBobJo]

The small engine is called a pony motor.

[travi3so67]

a pullstart .. for this ??

[crocodile2006]

Will this fit in a Honda Civic?

[ps3dethman1]

@crocodile2006 naa but the civic will fit in it =]

[Mrtriumphchopper]

Where was this powerplant built?

[Mrtriumphchopper]

Instead of manually starting, use a toyota camry V6!!!

[p470ddv]

They couldn't have given it a better name, it's class. I agree with wrangomonger, it would be serious under load.

[Nightwing690]

Chuck Norris has this on his motorized scooter

[hachibill]

@Nightwing690

ahahahahahahahahaahahahahha

[kdc43]

@Nightwing690 Norris is a commie-fag.

[Falcor097]

@Nightwing690 More like his toothbrush.

[EVAUnit4A]

@Nightwing690

No, his electric shaver.

[TheTruthSetlingUFree]

@Nightwing690

That was fucking hilarious!!!

[12Zylinder]

Is this a engine from a tank or from a plane, or a ship?

[BrasherCorey]

@12Zylinder Read the comments section. He answered that question 4 months ago.

[BNforever2009]

thats the first time i seen something like that.

[jeremylee99100]

how many horse power



[bernard240vdc]

in some cases the pony motor itself would have a electric starter so a huge engine then only recquired a fairly small battery that started the pony engine or pup engine as some called these and once started this little engine one did not have to worry about draining the battery if the big engine proves to be difficult to start

[reven92]

i want that small 4 cylinder pony-engine! :P fit a turbo, bigger carburetor and make a go-cart

[darvillej56]

Its called a donkey engine used to start another. was used on some older catapillers

[forku2umf]

I have owned (so far) 17 International trucks. ('48 to '74). Little do people know that most, if not all trucks were set up to (also) start with a crank. Ever notice those little holes in the lower grills that aligned with the front of the crankshaft? About the first thing that ever got lost w/these trucks was the crank. My '50 was the only I.H. that still had the crank behind the seat. 1/2 of an upward stroke (the correct way to start) was all it took. Make sure it's in neuteral!

[forku2umf]

It's called a "Pony Motor" (engine) Some old diesels had a carburetor, magneto and spark plugs on one side (inline engine) and diesel injection pump/injectors on the other. They would start on gas or kerosene and switch to diesel when warm. I worked on a Cad dozer that rope started a gas pony engine and it would turn over the diesel (w/comp. release on). There are a lot of things to learn about this stuff and have fun with. I had a '50 I.H. p.u. that I could crank start. They came w/cranks.

[dquad]

"Sir, what's the compression ratio of one of these engines?"

"It's 1.5:1. Allows for easy starting with your bare hands."

[trialsteam]

it wont be a pullstart

[juxonix8]

It has small displacement only 3.2 litres for 12 cylinders, so it's not making very high pressure inside the cylinder, that means its easy to start.

[2boredfortv]

@juxonix8 no no no, It has 3.2 liters PER cylinder.

[FORD427W]

yo should pait it

[rorybz]

What size is the pony motor?

[iggy151]

@rorybz Pause at 1:32...4 cylinder

[spaatzbound]

watching this just about made me climax

[123devinzz1]

30 gallons. thats one expensive oil change

[MrQuickvisit]

hey we leard you like to start engines so we put a motor on your motor so you can rev while you rev

[warmfreeze]

i just Climaxed..

[24preacherboy]

I want to make a motorcycle out of it!!

[JamesAaron1984]

Im from a club in Oakley Michigan. We have an engine identical to it all restored in our engine barn. It even came from the same place. Saginaw waste water plant.
