- My Leyland Atlantean AN68 finally starting up after 6 years of sitting idle. unfortunately it would only start with easy start and would not idle as the injectors seem to be blocked. :/ will upload more videos as i progress with this project. :)
Thanks to Denny for letting me use his video.
Worked on 0680 leyland engines years ago, forget about using easistart,if an injector spring is broken then the compression from that cylinder is forced up through injector so pumping air back in to the injector pump therefore causing airlocks.a simple way to vheck this is to remove injectore pipe from injector one at a time and turn engine over on the key the compressed air from the cylinder comes out of injector.
earlier today we finally got it running. and it sounds very good. i will post a link to it. :)
What an engine the 680 was they were good for a million miles and all city work not motorway miles beautifully engineered by British workers in British factory's real hardy machines
engines arent nothing to worry about go on forever if maintain but what kills buses is age and rust
And bad maintenance
WHAT A GEM!!
i got the time wrong of it sitting idle, it has actually been 16 years not running!
chances are, after standing that long the injector pump might well be rusted up or stuck as well if fuel's not getting to the injectors. Filters are likely to be clogged with muck after all that time too.
if stood for a while its either the injectors or rust in the fuel tank-hoses but banging the engine wont make it go any better
@Kitfugl i know. will need to clean the injectors out before we try again.
u cant compress diesel, so if injectors were blocked something would burst, they can be gumed up or worn.
Probably air in the system? did u get it sorted in the end?
Hi, yes we got it running in the end. 4 injector springs had snapped.
@@2694MAN Thats what big noel said it might be
The Back Was Boxy Cause They Had Huge Engines
The diesel fuel has probably gone off after such a long time. In addition the inside of the fuel tank will have gone rusty and you will probably be drawing all the crap through the system making things worse! Try fitting a gallon tank with fresh fuel directly to the engine. Oh and the accelerator pedals used to stick down in service...whats changed!!
no, it is park royal. :)
Any news on how the preservation of this bus went.
northern counties?
found out today that it has snapped an injector spring. not going anywhere soon. :(
did you get her running in the end?
cant be all wrong with it, would run on 5 fine
