Unique one cylinder diesel boat engine starting up

Bolinder Munktell BM 1051.

[@s.a.3882]

That's a proper engine for a boat.

[@FlatlandMando]

Yes, forget the water skiing or burning figure eights with your personal water craft.

[@michaelbranscum]

Might as well forget fishing with that loud clunkity bang bang

[@tpalmer4829]

That one-banger will last for 83 more years!!!

[@manitoba-op4jx]

only 83???

[@REL602]

That's how long he's gonna go in circles until he straightens out that rudder.

[@iBackshift]

The combination of the engine firing with the slight howling of the gear train, what a relaxing sound. 5 stars!

[@pjofurey6239]

For civilised fellows, this is a most relaxing sound .ideally followed by fresh fish on the bbq and some choice ale

[@cslloyd1]

I enjoy an engine where I can hear the various internal pieces each doing their thing.

[@eby6114]

First time ive ever seen a steering wheel sideways on a boat. Pretty cool

[@zenshy2139]

Se on ruori

[@user-xd6uy1bo9g]

There's something magical about a low revving, single cylinder oil burner.

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

I remember that sound! We used to call them put put boats, back in the sixties! Brings back some memories! Thanks for sharing!

[@tomthumb5445]

Puts puts were single ling hit and miss motors, but kinda of like tham.

[@joepearce3033]

​@@tomthumb5445In Australia a putt putt was a Blaxland Chapman single cylinder 4stroke petrol engine.

[@tomthumb5445]

I will look it up, maybe i can hear one on YT.@@joepearce3033

[@anouararoua955]

this type of engine will never let its owner fall into the sea

[@smljohnstone]

I love old Lister Engines like a watch ticking you can count the strokes.

[@wcswood]

Imagine being out on the water enjoying the peace and quiet and this guy shows up to fish.

[@brian.7966]

yes exactly.

[@noturfather1106]

Id wanna fish with him

[@sock501]

When was the last time you heard an outboard boat motor pass by? This is so much quieter. He couldn’t violate a no wake zone if he tried.

[@eby6114]

Quieter than any 2 stroke

[@thomthumbe]

My grandpa was a farmer/rancher. Among all his equipment, he had an old John Deer, single cylinder, two stroke. It had a huge flywheel on the side. I swear you could put that thing in granny and at full speed a person could easily walk that fast. But damn if you could almost make it climb up a vertical brick wall. It was easy to count the power strokes from that piston. It had two tires on the front in a V shape that nearly came together when the tires met the ground. The “gas peddle” was on the tree, or rather the steering wheel column. I was driving that beast when I was 10 years old. On the farm everybody worked, especially during harvest. Even schools let the kids out for a week during harvest.

[@sailortristan]

Brings me back to the days of messing around with a Yanmar 1GM10 on a Farr30 (Mumm30)

[@jbunchbball]

I keep looking at restoring a boat, or building a wood boat glen L style, but I keep coming back to how bad I want a small diesel inboard motor for it, this thing sounds awesome.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Put a new 4 stroke on it. You won't be dissapointed. They are nice and quiet.👍

[@noturfather1106]

​@@JamesJones-cx5pkbut this sound is what makes it so good.

[@epicgamer785]

@@JamesJones-cx5pk but then you cant hear it

[@axolp]

No electric motor can give you such vibes.

[@nedkent5239]

Might be the coolest thing ever!

[@CJSHM]

Sounds like my old YSE8 starting on my boat.

[@standheizungenrehbein4575]

A real Water-Tractor... love it!

Nice sound !

[@anthonyburke5656]

They may be unique now, but, in my youth they were ubiquitous, I really liked to “chug” up the river.

[@Turbo4Joe363]

Lol....every fish within a 5 mile radius can hear that thing coming! Sounds just like the Chevy Vega that my vuddy drove in high school. 😂

[@patriciahutson]

Egera Station in the 60's , water pumps when no wind for windmills plus one at the Homstead for Emergancy lighting. We used Carbide lamps elsewhere

[@Hikoripeyote]

Had one save my butt in gulf of mexico

[@pankr4cy]

It works like my S15 Andoria tractor :) Sounds good:)

African Queen boat Bogart at the helm da captain

[@petebribble4651]

My thoughts exactly! My favorite movie of all time. I have always thought it would be cool to recreate the African Queen, and recently wondered if a single cylinder diesel may be the way to go rather than the steam engine. And what do you know, here it is!

[@jeffreylockhart8292]

@@petebribble4651 why not. I remember many inboards where I am from in the 60's marine boats where I am from but none using hit and miss only gas fired motors . Plus I don't think many people would buy all that gin and pour it overboard. You know on the set both the director and actor were heavy drinkers and drained them bottles before filming that scene filled them back up with river water and Hepburn who possibly was against the drink? Had fun draining them .

horsepower on that single cylinder? 🙋🇺🇸👍

Very, Cool.

What is average fuel consumption?

[@tansugunal]

Is that Albin Motor ?

[@alpe5801]

how does this engine qualify as unique? Was it a prototype?

[@tansugunal]

Albin brand ?

[@tonycamplin8607]

That engine isn't unique, there were and still are hundreds of them around.

[@jamesdoiron8456]

So awesome

[@frixux]

What brand engineer is it

[@fabriciobarroslima]

Tobata?

[@bigtater29]

That's the shit.

[@Perfer-gw6ir]

I hope you are wearing hearing protection.

[@aaron___6014]

Are these old diesels more efficient than a modern engine?

[@OldRustyEngines]

I don't think so, I'm guessing this engine is made to deliver much torque per horsepower.

[@grigoreeufonistul]

[@john_doe668]

@@OldRustyEngines lmao torque per hp

[@eby6114]

​@@john_doe668Torque and horsepower are both measurements of an engine's power, but they describe different aspects of it:

[@john_doe668]

@@eby6114 i know what they are. It was a joke goober He literally said “torque per horsepower”. Horsepower itself is dependent on torque, since it’s (torque • RPM)/5252

[@jamesranker6275]

I think that’s called a hit and miss engine isn’t it? I’ve only ever seen one other in my life

[@timgreen4137]

No. It's a single cylinder diesel.

[@JRotten]

It's an old Detroit Diesel. Hard to tell, but either 53 or 71 (rated in cubic inches). Used for pumps or generators. Military surplus in the 60's.

[@urmum6867]

wait did that engine just reverse the way its rotating!? if so thats really cool
