  • (7-3-2015) enjoy a cold start of a bus that has not run in 2 months. I believe it lost its prime hence the extended cranking required.

    Love the way it can still start up, especially for a 1960's bus

    So glad to see a fellow Fishbowl fan! She's a beauty! For a few seconds there I thought it lost its prime, but it did kick over and growled like a classic Detroit.

      Dana Danarosana the fact that these buses dont have poweres steering makes me doubt if the bus would have even entered the 105 without crashing and blowing up at that sharp turn

    • @Dana_Danarosana
      @Dana_Danarosana 8 лет назад +1

      ***** I don't believe that ANY bus wouldn't have rolled during that turn. It's all entertaining... but it's also all fake... except for Sandra Bullock driving the bus... that always happens. She's Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines' best and busiest driver. Look for her on your next ride on the Big Blue Bus. :-)

      The later Fishbowls (5305/5306, 5307/5308) have power steering. Plus, it shouldn't be too difficult to refit it with PS.

      Very cool! I've never really learned much about buses despite my interest in cars. I think I might have to change that now as buses (especially old ones) are also quite interesting.

    AC Transit had a shitload of these into the 1980s (they might still use a few on occasion), The were gradually phased out by the M. A. N."Accordion" buses, Gilligs and Van Hools. The AC Transit system was put in by Oil interests to replace the electric "Key" system.

    Quite obviously you're loosing fuel prime. Because it started immediately (good engine) but then died and had to crank a long time to get the fuel re primed. I also have a transit bus that starts immediately too but keeps running because of a sound fuel system. Possibly the check valve is leaking.

    Those "fishbowls"(GM and FLX) came in varying sizes...in feet:
    40, 35 (respectively four large sliding windows and, in front of the exit door on regular transits or small window on suburban/shuttles, three with two behind the little window on the GM and door for 40 foot
    and just one window behind the entrance and (for GM again only) small window on passenger side), 30 feet, and smaller (the so called "baby" fishbowls.) Those could be as small as 32! Look for baby fishbowl on the search engine!!

      It's the transmission. Designed for driving on city streets. That's why they are slow

    • @josephheston9238
      @josephheston9238 6 лет назад +1

      Well if you want to keep it a V-drive, put in a V-730 or 731 transmission (just find a spot for the keypad shifter if a 731) or if you want to convert it into a T-drive, put in a HT-754 (just make sure to reverse the rotation of the engine), then it will go faster. The VS-2 is basically a HD Powerglide.
