1968 CE8 commer truck TS3 knocker first attempted start

First attempt to see if it will start, that was at the start of the clip, with lots of Aero Start.
Next Two attempts are also with Aero Start.
The Fuel injection pump is not squirting any fuel to the injectors, or it would keep running. So will be working on this next.

Why no one commenting on this beautiful truck

i remember fitting a new starter to mine in the late 60`s / early 70`s. Tried to start it, nothing. Checked the fuel lines and they had air in them. That`s weird, but I bled the system and tried again with the same result. I tried it 3 more times with the same result! Then I happened to look down the next time and the fan was going round the wrong way1 They had sent us a left handed starter.

I loved that truck. 6 speed box and a 2 speed axle, it would do 72 mph.

What is making the hissing sound before he cranks it over ?

[@phantomrose1999]

I am spraying starting fuel into the inlet. Fuel injector was blocked at the time. It’s been rebuilt now but not installed.
