- Very sweet sound of a leyland 600 engine in 2632 first start after doing some repairs to the injector pump
- John Lidstone
- My word that's an engine that sounds like it's worked hard during its life.....still got that Leyland 'crackle' on a keen tick over.
- Our ones in Southend didn't have a hard life so you don't get that 'heavy over-run' almost dull 'thump' to the engine note.
- Norman Julian
- I think this is from a first series 31 seater. OPS2/1
- Edward Parker
- Norman Julian yes correct
- Norman Julian
- Edward Parker good one
- Norman Julian
- That's what 2818 looked like after its first start up.
- All those fibres floating around in the air were what was left of the fan belts.
- John Lidstone
- yes that's a sight I've never seen.
- The only thing I've seen flying from an O.600 is diesel from a leaky injector pipe connection!
- Edward Parker
- Norman Julian alot of stuff blowing around is from high wind yesterday this one been started before just first start after i pulled down injector pump and repaired it as its old one was faulty.
- Runs like clockwork now
- Edward Parker
- John Lidstone no leaking injector pipes.
- The fuel is from bleeding
- John Lidstone
- Edward I wasn't referring to this video, but my own time driving Leyland Titan PD3s and AEC Routemasters with Leyland O.600 engines.
- Edward Parker
- John Lidstone yeah ok thought you were referring to this one yes it flies everywhere when you have leking injector pipe
