  • Now wouldn't that be just the perfect startup sound for a computer?? ;-)

  • @MrJohann64 Do you know, I have never considered that before but Im liking your style of thinking, that would sound great... ha ha :-))

  • Never seen a Blue Post Box with an engine in it and a cement mixer attached to it....before!!!

  • @itsmefergal LOL :-)

  • Great old engine! Turning it over a little bit not only gets the oil circulated, but it probably also preheats the combustion chamber. Which is probably why it started so quickly.

  • Thanks, this mixer has always been a good starter...

  • @david197407 yep thats how it works and even the modern listers dont have glow plugs to this day just good combustion chamber design

  • @minedronebiznis it heats / pre heats the combustion chamber purley by compression, some more modern diesels have a glow plug for preheat, but i'm sure this early model relies purley on good old compression to generate enough heat to do the job

  • @minedronebiznis Diesels ignite their fuel with compressed air, yeah? So if they are turning over, they are building up heat by compressing air in the cylinder.

  • @MrMoterKid how does it preheat the comb. chamber?

  • lol wow
