    Like another commenter said, a 2-stroke Detroit can’t run without the blower. There is no “intake stroke” on a 2-stroke. The piston comes down and uncovers the admission port and the exhaust valves open. The blower forces in fresh air which forces the exhaust gases out. The exhaust valves close as the piston starts back up, the piston covers the admission ports and starts compressing the air, the fuel gets injected near TDC, the piston is shoved back down, and the sequence repeats.

    A bit of advice. Bees will react a lot more aggressively if you freak out and start whacking them. You're basically releasing "Come get me" smells to the bees. Remain calm, go about your work, and try to resist the urge to whack the bees. Everyone will be happier by the end!

    Good morning! I was once looking to buy a transmission out of an old ice cream truck the scrap yard. Little did i know that there was a yellow jacket nest under the seat when I sat in it to make sure the gearshift wasn't frozen. It solidified my favorite saying "good stories usually are not good at the time" 😅

  • @rolengoldslick9053

    hey diesel creek! im a beekeeper
    honeybees are usually fairly calm, and are reluctant to sting due to it causing their death, they usually only sting if you are within about ten feet of the nest, or if you swat at them
    bees in a box like that are usually friendly
    hornets like yellow jackets are evil, end of story. they're not a type of bee, and they are evil.
    red and black ones are less angry but still not nice

    When I was in the DSNY, my garage had GMC 9500 twins, but they were known as cutdowns. They had the gas V6/Allison, and a big lift gate. They were used for snow plows, snow removal, and lot cleaning. They were replaced by a bigger tandem Brigadier cutdown with a 92 Detroit. Loved it and hated it at the same time. The bed could only be raised with the slightest amount of throttle, or the PTO would cut out. But the five inch stack on the driver side made me forget about that.

      I’m glad you took the path that you did. It was especially fun (it was for us) to watch you dodging 🐝. Without going through these steps, you wouldn’t KNOW what you now do….this time it is mostly scrap/crap and a few salvageable parts. The video was still worth it and your reputation of being the great rescuer is intact. A recap:
      🔥Recovery removal - lots of interesting stumbling blocks (some self imposed)…you pushed through and it was a success.
      🔥Dangling Mouse (and house clean-out) - some of the best content right there… you ignored it for so long that some people thought it was a comment generator on purpose. Nope….you bumped it multiple times and never even noticed until it was your head (pure gold). Huge success, despite the inability to revive the damaged mouse house…lots of learning for all.
      🔥 Character - being vulnerable, showing your own mistakes (and bee dodging), stubbornness or sticktoitiveness (it’s a word), and overall good nature is why we watch more than the learning. Stay the course!

    Someone may have already commented on this, (I did not read over 2,400 entries)... But for reference. Honeybees only sting in defense. Once they sting once, they die. Yellow Jackets and hornets are in the Wasp family. Those sucker sting to eat... so they can sting you several times and keep coming back for more. There are other differences as well.

    Far-From-Pro tip on pulling a shaft like the blower drive. If you can have the space then drill and tap the end of the shaft, for a shaft that size maybe 10-32. You can then weld the corresponding screw to a slide hammer adapter and use it to pull the shaft. It's a technique that served me well for many years fixing industrial equipment.

    A 2-stroke diesel dosen’t suck a fuel/air mixture into the cylinders via the crank as a petrol 2-stroke. It needs the blower to push air into the transfer ports, to fill up the cylinder with fresh air as well as help pushing out the exhausts. Fuel is injected at the end of the stroke… Won’t start without it

    A quick primer - wasps build bare combs under a protected space, hornets build enclosed nests aboveground, and yellowjackets build enclosed nests underground. Their defensiveness towards their nest sites is definitely something to be reckoned with! But if the nest isn't in the way, they are definitely a nice alternative to bug zappers in dealing with mosquitos and the like! Drone bees and wasps don't appear until late season - they don't sting; they have only one task in their brief life: mating with next year's queens.

      @@flydieselair Let's see here...
      " It would not start without a blower."
      Yep. Naturally aspirated. This engine is not forced induction because it has a blower on it because it requires the blower simply to run. Saying it is is like saying a jet engine is turbocharged.
      A Detroit 2-stroke equipped like this one is considered naturally aspirated.

    • @stuffchannel9604
      @stuffchannel9604 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Detroits and other 2 stroke engines that rely on mechanical air pumps to fill the cylinders and expel exhaust gases are naturally aspirated. Detroit Diesel refers to them as such. That changes when a turbo is employed before the blower to add boost.

    • @TestECull
      @TestECull 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@frankdodson3534 You very much are not correct. Normally, an engine with a blower on it is considered forced induction, but when you're working with a uniflow 2-cycle like a Detroit here, the blower is REQUIRED for it to run. There is no other way for air to be pumped through the engine. They don't use their crankcase to do so like a lawn tool two stroke does and there is no innate vacuum created in the cylinder when the piston descends because the exhaust valves are open and there are ports milled into the cylinder wall just above bottom dead center.
      That's the key difference. If you can remove the blower and still start the engine, then it is supercharged. If you remove the blower and the engine no longer starts, then the engine required that blower to function and thus it was naturally aspirated.
      In this case, because the engine can not function without it, it isn't a supercharger and thus the engine isn't forced induction. There is nowhere on a 6-71 Detroit you can measure any meaningful 'boost' when it is running. Additionally, if you see one with a 'T' at the end of its name, that engine IS forced induction because it has a turbocharger pushing air into the blower.
      "Not to be rude but if you are going to make comments one need to be a little more educated in the subject"
      Definitely need to take your own advice a bit here bud. You're definitely not a know it all, that much is for sure.

    • @MrEferrell
