Cummins Hyster Part 10: First Start after rebuild, How to Bleed an Inline Pump Fuel System.

In this video I bleed the fuel system of air and do the First start for the 8.3L Cummins after rebuild. It seems to run great! :-) None of it was pre rehearsed you are seeing the actual first fire. It looks like it should make a good power plant for the Hyster 15K off road forklift. Still some things to button up to finish the engine but ready to go into the forklift now.

No matter how many engines you’ve built, that first start - with no leaks - always puts a smile on your face. Especially when it’s a “Franken-Cummins!

[@ruperthartop7202]

Well done Brian, she sounds sweet. Thanks for sharing

[@Abom79]

Nicely done! That engine sounds good!! Got to love a good ole Cummins

[@bcbloc02]

Thanks man! Especially one that is all mechanical and if it will run over it will run. I love simple and reliable. :-)

[@thomasutley]

Sounds good from here. I’m excited to see how you develop the mounts and other interfaces to the lift now.

[@Donkusdelux]

Gotta say, this channel is much more enjoyable then Aboms nowadays. keep up the good work brian!

Wow, thanks!

If it is not leaking anywhere, you must have forgot to put oil in it :)

Love the smell of diesel fuel in the morning!

[@bcbloc02]

I always find it interesting how different diesels smell different too. I can identify most of my equipment by the smell of a cold start. LOL

[@johng8473]

Nice... Way to go Brian! Never had a doubt you would make it run. Really enjoyed this series of videos. please keep em cummin....:)

G'day, Brian! Thumbs Up! 👍🏼 Enjoyed the video! Oh, yeah! That is "Sweet!!"... I'll second that motion! The suggestion about, bringing in the Hyster forklift! You can really tell this rebuild 8.3L Cummins is a 'Torque Monster'... Very smooth running, and sounds totally awesome, too!! Terrific job! Thank you! Cheers! 😊✌🏼🚜❤️

Brian She runs Smothe, 63 psi running oil pressure! You Done GOOD! HI Baily!

Way to go Brian a real great rebuild. That thing runs like it should now put it in the fork lift and lets hoist up something.

Awesome job. 8.3 Cummins are great old motors . We have 3 in case Ih magnum tractors .

[@morgansword]

Not bad for a hillbilly I have to say.... I was born in N. Carolina so most likely one of my legs is longer than the other too. You an Bailey can celebrate tonight with meat that still has a bone in it. Glad its all together and running. Last engine I put back together was making one out of many laying in the shop. It was just the 5.9 but still it felt good cause I was crippled and so my brother had to do what I told him to do. I had a bunch of known good parts and gaskets from several kits and some out of the boxes they came in. From pulling to fixing to install was three days and he was tired... me, I was so happy to see it run as he needed that little four fifty case dozer bad and I just needed to feel needed again

[@RockingJOffroad]

The 8.3 in my Freightliner looks a bit larger in the truck! I’ve always liked that motor in my truck!

[@thefretfiend]

Tight engine, no leaks, good oil pressure, smooth operation, sounds good. NICE!

[@bcbloc02]

Everything it should be! :-)

Thank you for putting out another video this week.. I wanted to see this motor run.. Probley not as much as you did thoe.

[@bcbloc02]

Didn’t want people to have to wait too long.

[@carguy3504]

i seen sleeved engines pull in the rings ( take the temper out of them ) do to over heat with no coolant in them, the sleeve can not transfer heat away with no coolant just my two cents seen it happen with in a few min's

[@stephenpeterson7479]

Nice work!

[@jtthill5475]

There was never any doubt it would start and sound great. The next part will be more fun, exploring the unknown of fitment. Thanks for sharing.

[@larryrobinson7492]

I still see know way in Hell that fits in place of another engine. You the Man, I know you got the will and the way. I've been a Automotive mechanic for 30 plus years and you just can't put a ford engine in place of a Chevrolet engine normally. Dodge makes me want to Puke but that's just my preference. Nice job on the rebuild. GET ER DONE

[@bcbloc02]

If it won't fit I will get a bigger hammer. :-)

[@mep1624]

Brian, i honestly have not seen you so happy in the several years i have enjoyed your channel. Great to see. Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and experience. Super valuable and entertaining. Hello from 🇨🇦

[@SportsKid006-milbert]

Amazing work Brian! I've been enjoying this rebuild

[@bcbloc02]

Glad to hear it!

[@CapeCodCNC]

I say take the 5.9 out of the dually and put this in the truck maybe even with a 9 speed Road Ranger. Oh ya 1st gen crew cab with an 8.3L!! The 5.9 is still overkill in the forklift. Love the first start of any rebuild just puts a big grin on your face!!

[@bcbloc02]

I have a different first gen destined for a repower. :-)

[@kevinriese6384]

I am a little worried. you make a clean spot and your ocd kicks in we might not hear from you for a year. Just saying god bless.

[@bcbloc02]

I don’t have time for ocd. I have too much to do.

[@jimsvideos7201]

A younger guy on here (KT3406E) came to the same conclusion about running without coolant for a moment. I wonder how long it would take to make any real difference.

[@bcbloc02]

At idle probably several minutes. At idle you are looking at egt's in the 300 something range usually so given that a cylinder only sees those temps for about 1/4 a cycle it would take a long time to get the castings up to the 200deg temps they often run in normal operation.
