    i did say that the cummins 6bt is a good engine. we used it here in the uk till about 2001. the 6bt was fitted on lightweight leyland daf trucks or buses. it worked better in the trucks since they had 130bhp or 150bhp engines and had a manual gearbox. the buses with the 6bt was only offered with the 130bhp and an allison at545. it wasnt very powerful in buses but they did its job.

      +michael jagger This one has the at545. It does ok. Its main selling point is that replacements are cheap, since nobody wants them. I would definitely prefer a manual, though.

    I have a cold-start video up from awhile back, and I think I showed the interior a bit. I haven't worked on the interior much since then, but I need to because cooler camping weather will be here soon.
    I have a little Kubota diesel engine I plan to build into a generator for the bus.

    It has rained almost every day for the past two months. Usually it is not quite as bad, and only rains enough to just keep the humidity at 100% to go with the 100F temperatures. This year, the mosquito larvae are drowning.

    Huh doesn't the bus have a low mounted turbo?

    That buckle has a problem. I need to find another one to replace it.

    is that big lever on the dashboard to shut the doors manually?

    Yes, it does! Hard to beat a good old 12-valve Cummins. I have one in a Dodge truck, too.

    That's a good idea! There would be a virtually unlimited supply of fuel to power it.

    Why such a high idle?

    • @Possumliving
      @Possumliving  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To charge the battery and circulate fluids more efficiently. It has manual idle control on the dash.

      One of my local friends spotted it for sale and told me about it. The guy who owned it was behind on some bills and had to sell it to get caught up. I hate it for him, but that's life sometimes.
