Hi all, I was at my pals place today and his engine has the iron piston in, I ask him why he wanted to change his alt and he say that it's arcing. He can run...
Sorry guys - a HUGE backlog of messages!! You get the boost because the propane is injected into the cylinder (how I'm not exactly sure think its into the...
I think it's fairly new as it's come from an industrial cement mixer, I had to remove from a self build site, there are a couple of things that I need to know...
My understanding is that the 6/1, 8/1 and 10/1 are the same engine, with three different sizes of flywheels tuned to 650, 850 & 1050 rpm. Hence, it would be a...
I have had the misfortune to have a system (gas injection and diesel) like this come through my workshop, admitedly it was on a 4 cly jap motor but the...
Peter This is a fairly comprehensive list of the differences between genuine lister 6-1 & 8-1 engines. 1. 6-1 flywheels are larger diameter and heavier than...
... At 100% efficiency, you will see 746 Watts per HP. You won't ever get that. Expect a solid 3KW from 6HP, you might get a little more, but not much. You'll...
Dear Peter 1 HP = .746 kW, as engine shaft HP A generator in this size range would have an efficiency in the range of 80%. So... 6 HP can provide 6 x .746 =...
I can run 180 RPM reliably, but there is no way I would run the engine at that speed for anything other than short periods. Diesel engines must be ran loaded...
The need for running a diesel engine loaded, is all to do with having enough heat to burn the full adequately. If you want to run your engine slower than spec,...
We run a 6/1 at 350 RPM, no mods except a thermostat on the cooling loop. It does well for us running like that for 8-12 hrs a day, 6 days a week, keeping a...
At least you do have the sense to run the engine hard a few times a week. As Cummins and other reputable manufacturers have stated in the engine data, the...
Dear Peter Very interesting! This is a simple question with a complex answer. It would be very easy to measure this speed with a tachometer. Without a ...

List, I ran my 6/1 down to about 180 rpm. This was about the minimum speed of reliable idling. Somewhere else someone suggested running the engine in a "hit...
... Just as an aside, the I didn't see that the original poster said anything about the minimum RPM for "idling" - he just mentioned minimum RPM. If the point...
With all the talk of what RPMs, HPs, etc For what it's worth, I am going to throw out an utterly unsupported anecdotal inference that there's probably...
The hit and miss engines hold the exhaust valve open at the governed rpm. A Lister modified for hit and miss would have to do the same, as well as holding the...
Hi all. Is there members who have just 12v/24v car/lorry alt on there engines to run an inverter and charge battery, I'm intrested in there rpm and output....
24" pulley on the 6/1, a 2" pulley on a 150a 12v truck alternator. 650 rpm at the lister. feeds my 1260ah 12v battery bank, that feeds my 3kw inverter. Steve...
Hi Steve Do you know the rpm and amps of the alt at 650rpm of the engine. cheers P ps how many battery are you charging. ... 650 rpm ... inverter. ... there ...
Correct me If I'm wrong. 650 rpm * 24" = 15360 rpm at the rim of the engine pulley. 15360 / 8000 rpm (of alternator) = 1.92" (alternator pulley size). I...
