Detroit 6-71 Startup

[@Wasmachineman]

0:15 having watched enough KT3406E I thought that thing was going to runaway lol

[@MartinGamer6241]

Me too lol

[@fexploder3281]

I love these old engines, they just sound so good and this engine also looks pretty cool.

Its amazing how 2 strokes detroit come up so fast and run on so little oil. the cranks in there are ultra hardened and hardend than snowmobile cranks!

[@fexploder3281]

@@jlo13800 I actually didn't know those old Detroits ran on small amounts of oil.

One of the best methods of turning diesel fuel into noise. 😂

[@jlo13800]

And your transvestite 4 stroke joke series 60 will do the same to

[@ABRetroCollections]

@@jlo13800 Awwh, little baby with his Scania came to make a joke.

[@craigkopcho7394]

The 71 series engines were 2 stroke. I had them in generator service. The regulation was superior.

[@jlo13800]

Yep they respond fast.

[@mrceleb2006]

Awesome startup!

[@i_dont_care_about_roma]

DOUBLE GREASY

[@MadRhetorik.]

I have the same engine setup at work. I always start her up and let her idle at 750 or so for a minute or two then crank her wild. I know these engines can take the abuse but I try not to have it max rpm’s when I start.

[@glennjohnso310]

They don’t care too much about getting lube thru the engine and allowing the engine and turbo to warm up.😡

[@jamesdillard3583]

I had a tugboat that I used around the docks and it had a motor like that. So sad to let get cut up after all the hard work I did to keep it afloat.

[@lastone3926]

Yeah that’s why I can’t hear so well lol

[@jlo13800]

this is an ultra high perfomance 2 stroke

[@timgreen4137]

What???? 🤣🤣🤣

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@jlo13800not sure about that but they’ll run wide open all day so that are definitely tough.

[@jlo13800]

@@deborahchesser7375yes 2 strokes are far more robust that 4 strokes! look how heavy arctic cats new 858 is built and now letts scale that kitty up to 858 CID per cylinder v-16 for a tugboat!

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@jlo13800 I love trucks and heavy equipment, especially the vintage stuff. My cousin rest his soul, owned a 76’ refinery’s substation and ran 4-5 Pete 359’s. One blew a motor once and my cousin had a dozer with worn out finals but a fresh 12V92TA. He put that motor in that Pete and I swear it would run 100 loaded with an old Spicer 15 speed, crazy but cool as hell.

[@weofnjieofing]

Why are you revving it up so high from a cold start?

[@porcupinepunch6893]

That's a normal RPM for a 2-stroke Detroit diesel

[@rileydj8764]

I agree, worked on them for 8 years, that is not idle!

[@Adam_Poirier]

To answer your question correctly it's a generator. That's why it immediately went to full throttle.

[@paulhorton5612]

As it's a 2-stroke there's twice the power impulses per revolution, so it sounds like it's going at double rpm

[@Bob-j5o3b]

@@paulhorton5612 Yeah but it's not a low idle - it's running at rated rpm which, depending on the generator, could be 1500 or 1800 rpm or something similar. I'd say it sounds like 1800. In a vehicle application, a 71's usual range is 500 to 2100, same as four stroke engines like N series and 3406B

[@samuelegbert2199]

I’ve always heard you NEVER Rev a cold diesel….

[@littlesquirtthefireengine5478]

It's a generator, so it's probably set to go right to full RPM upon startup. Also it's a detroit so... oil schmoil 😁

[@jlo13800]

it doent harm these 2 strokes, even the 850 rotax etec in skidoos need to warm up a bit.

[@AlvaroFelix-wg8ej]

Maaa eso es todo ni la gastada de diesel

[@samuelegbert2199]

So no warm up necessary on a cold start ????

[@jlo13800]

Yes some 2 strokes can do that, even my 74 john deere JDX8 snowmobile i had as a kid with a CCW 440 wouldn't go worth a hoot until she warmed up a for 5 minuets.It would bog until she got warm! The Rotax 850 Etec likes to warm up a bit too!

[@glennjohnso310]

Only if you want the engine to last.

[@jlo13800]

@@glennjohnso310 This is true for any 2 stroke especial snowmobiles.

[@cotytech1740]

This is a Generator setup so they are designed to start up at 1800 RPM. especially places like assisted living and medical. They are fitted with block heaters to maintain the heat around 100 deg.

[@glennjohnso310]

Some gen sets have a pre lube system that gets the oil circulating before start up.

Nothing like revving a cold engine to maximum RPM.

[@AmandaVanDenBergh-m2s]

Silly

[@jlo13800]

@@AmandaVanDenBergh-m2s Yeah my snowmobile wouldn't run right until warm.

Warm up , Nah !
