Cold Start 1990 GMC Blue Bird Bus

Cold start at 19 degrees

[@matts4290]

Its definitely running like its cold, but it still sounds real healthy.

A GMC gasser, with a 5 speed, AND Air Brakes??!?! lol Perfect Bus!!! A throttle lock would come in very handy in those winter months so you can lock the gas pedal and it won't idle down and stall out on you before the engine warms up. I put one on my bus, and it's paid for itself 10 fold now! haha

Mine has the lock on it and it reallymakes life worth living when you own a bus. Plus I swapped out the old quadrajet carb for a 600 Edelbrock and its like a completely different engine!

1. Push the brake pedal. 2. Turn The key into the Run position.

@crankitandfloodit For buses, for trucks, the Kodiak/Topkick chassis with TBI gas engines came out in '90.

[@MrWill1985]

@charles8010 Its a manual. From seeing the gear shifter it is manual. School bus Automatics the gear shifter is on the dash and this one is mounted to the floor. And automatics that are floor or dash mounted have a button on the handle to push when changing gears and manuals are all mounted to the floor and have no button but do have a clutch you have to press with your left foot to shift gears.

@crankitandfloodit not until 1992 did GM switch from the old C series chassis to the Kodiak/Topkick chassis which had TBI.

[@newfoundrooski]

Sounds like this one has a 366 V8 in it!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Looks like a great bus. Needs some work on the choke though.

[@charles8010]

[@charles8010]

Carburetor or injector?

[@mardocheb617]

Nice bus ,how's it like being a bus driver I bet it's fun

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

Me gusta el autobús

[@MrWill1985]

@charles8010 Its regular gas. From looking at the fuel gauge is says Unleaded fuel only and unleaded fuel is gasoline. Diesel fuel only will say Diesel Fuel only. Plus from the sound of the engine I suspected it was gasoline since Diesel sounds completely different then gasoline.

[@charles8010]

And the odour too

[@dr.saltyballsack69]

exactly like mine.

[@dr.saltyballsack69]

except mine's still yellow.

[@emersonzentz4316]

Is the old girl still around?

[@charles8010]

Transmission Manual or automatic ?

[@charles8010]

Regular gaz or Diesel ?

[@gajda1984]

Seems like it is running too rich.

[@gajda1984]

This should have been powered by a Diesel engine!
