... What's the story/advantage of the motor? Do you use it to start AND generate power with? Starter only? Generator only? Why would it be a more efficient...
this Lister LV2 is very close to me geographicly, can anyone tell me if this is a water cooled engine, ans any problems obvious in the pics, I know the pumps...
Hi Mike I use the permanent magnet motor to start the engine AND generate power with it. It should be more efficient than an alternator as there is no need to...
Hi John, its air cooled and the holes are for priming with oil for cold starting, they should have plastic plugs in, which you remove and pour oil in then the...
Mark, it is on Ebay, once I learned it was ait cooled, that was the end of it, founf new 8/1 cs source in Kansas City. think that looks like a better bet. ... ...

... Note to self: "read first...then answer" OK, you are using a permanent magnet MOTOR. That works, but I'd rather have diodes over those brushes any day. No...

... The CS is pretty good at responding to varying power loads quickly, but the overrun issue was a concern which is why i made sure that the motor handled the...
Many ac alternators have brushes as well. the gm 10si car alternator for instance. permanent magnet alternators like our axial flux have no brushes, as the...
Does anyone have an original Lister CS fabricated steel start-o-matic base (not cast iron base)? I'm looking to replicate one and would like to get some exact...

Can anyone recommend insulating material for my exhaust and heat exchanger. Tried rock wool but that can go on fire ! All suggestions welcome Philip...
I recently aquired a number of batteries and want to use them to supply 240 volts to my home. my question should i go for a 5kva ups or a 5kva inverter/...
If you are going to bore and sleeve, no problem. Ring grooves can be made wider, if the rings are sloppy, and brought back to size for a standard ring set(if...
You might be able to get a new oversize piston from these people they are lister main agents and have still got a good selection of spares available. The only...
