Start a Diesel Engine with Cqstart Spring Starter

The engine in this video is Cummins NT855, using Cqstart spring starter PN3102.
Cqstart spring starter, is designed to replace the electric starter in emergency like hydraulic starter or air starter. It is maintenance-free, water-proof, explosion-proof, lighter, user-friendly and requires no external power system. "Manpower only, Mechanical starting, Diesel engine emergency starting solution".
Our starters are widely used in military, marine, lifeboat, mining, fire pumps and agriculture, applied to the engines of Cummins, CAT, Perkins, Deutz, VOLVO, DOOSAN, etc.

Wish all vehicles had this as an emergency option to start the vehicles.

That is brilliant and I had read about the concept....but never seen it in operation. It makes it possible to have a diesel engine which does not have electrical components (and complications). Thank you

[yogeshnagar]

They should have made a auto reccoiler while the generator is running so that next time when you start the generator you just pressed the button.

When I was a little kid, I started all my cars by winding up a spring. Sadly, they didn't run very long before I had to wind them up again.

Still better than the hydraulic starter we had to pump up each start

The single most requested spare part? The crank handle.

These Thai chaps do great jobs with their NTA-855 engines. Whenever in BKK I sit in the Shangri-La garden and just admire the sweet sound under full load and almost no exhaust smoke.
(Sold Cummins engines for 40’years when they made dependable engines like these.) RIP all dedicated Cummins guys who made this possible

That CUMMINS 855 started up beautifully

This is very good innovation to save battery and money also

[angelo_giachetti]

If yer old enuf you may remember when Sears push lawn mowers came with a spring starter.

HOLY WHAT!
BEHOLD THE RECOIL STARTER OF DEATH....
being a mechanic who has worked on recoil spring starters...: I can only imagine how dangerous that is if someone took it apart

[bonusnudges]

Those staters only work on engines that’ll start first bump over compression . If the engine needs more than one bump over compression, you’ll be there all day trying . I’ve had engines that didn’t start first hit on compression with these starters on, and have had an absolute ball ache with them . They are ok on new engines, but worn ones forget it

Spring with clutch... good idea bruh...😀

[hamayokosplender]

Respect our engineers and one like for them😄😄😄

[anthonionesbitt]

I have that same motor in my peterbilt 359, it's a Cummins Big Cam 3 400, grate motor☺️👍

[ArunKumar-kxwy]

Excellent option. This must be made as a common accessory for all vehicles like first aid box.

[A_vida_segundo_um_autista]

i think this is way better than electronic starting

[smohammed]

Well this is the 2nd mechanism to start the engine by means of hydraulic pules as an addition to battery start up or compressed air.

Lovely to share such a video with non mechanical/engineer viewer.

Хороший стартёр, вот бы на машину такой.

Wow! That's how my lawnmower starts
