Has anyone heard of an LP 60? There's a gent with two of them on a crate; he says they're 14 years old but never run. No starter flywheel housing. They also say Onan on the valve cover.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Air Filter Part Number?
« on: June 24, 2009, 03:12:33 AM »
I'm trying to find a new air filter for my Lister HB2. Does anyone have a part number? The filter's round, 8" wide and about 3 or 4" tall. Engine looks identical to the HA2.

Off the subject but I had to share this. A couple of weeks ago I found a Complete Mitsubishi 6DR5 power unit with 3 hrs on it for $500. It's been sitting on a shelf for 7 years. Inline 6, 85 hp @3000 rpm. Very quiet and smooth running engine. A little known fact is that this engine was offered as an option by Dodge in 1978 in their half ton pickup before the Cummins. Diesel powered Darts were exported.

Thanks for all the info, I appreciate your time. I haven't had time to get into the twin disk pto as of yet. I did change the oil. The old oil filter had a manufacture date of july 1998. The engine definitely sat unused for many years. I start it occasionally and it always hits on the first stroke. I will be coupling an ST style head to it soon.

Looks very similar to my engine. It looks like it has the compression release on the valve covers. My engine sat for a decade, and after a thorough cleaning of the fuel system, and an oil change, it will start on one cylinder on the first compression stroke. I was told my particular model was built to run 40k hours. It's 40-50 years old and runs perfect.

I sprayed a flame of wd-40 at the intake and she fired up. This engine sat up for 10 years. It runs great and will start on the first compression stroke. It's rated at 2200 rpm. What happens if I run it at 1100 rpm? The twin disk pto will not disengage. Any ideas there?

Thanks for the help! I finally have some time to tinker around today. Hopefully I will have her fired up soon!

The model is HB2. Same as the HA, but runs a little faster for more power (26hp@2200 rpm). The rack moves to the left against the spring pressure. When the knob is pulled up the rack moves to the right. Only way I can get it to go back to the original position is by reaching inside the engine with the cover off and moving the rack manually. I'm not even sure the engine will start. It's been sitting for years. I tried starting it a couple days ago and it was belching smoke out of the stack. I've heard if oil is placed in the cylinder it will raise the compression and help it start. Will starting fluid hurt the engine? I had a perkins someone sprayed and it cracked the piston skirts.

I'm confused. The rack position doesn't change when I move the throttle. The knob I referred to has me confused also. It seems to have the rack blocked somehow.

I have an air cooled engine with bryce berger pumps. There's a shaft going thru the pumps that move when a knob thats on the crankcase cover is pulled up. The shaft has to be manually moved back to the left while pulling up on the knob. What is the shaft for? How do I manipulate the shaft without removing the engine cover? I'm trying to start the engine. It's been sitting for a long time. I cleaned the system and have fresh fuel at the bleeders on the injection pumps. Any ideas? How is fuel turned on and shut off? How are the injection pumps driven?

Thanks

Engines / Lister HB - HA
« on: May 06, 2009, 03:42:27 AM »
I've began working on a HB twin. Does anyone know if parts are interchangeable with the HA model? The fuel system is filthy. I'm cleaning the lift pump, filter housing, and all of the lines. I'm impressed with the individual injector pumps and the copper lines. This engine design is well thought out. If she fires and runs good, would it be wise to replace the rings, bearings, and have the valves lapped? I hope to buy a CS engine as a primary and keep the HB as a back up.

The numbers are correct, it's an HB2. Is the HR a better engine? Are overhaul kits available? Can this engine be started by hand? Can the injection pump be rebuilt?

I live in Memphis Tennessee and I'm not aware of any parts houses here that carry English diesel parts.

Thanks

Greetings, a friend was given a large air cooled original Lister engine yesterday. It says 26hp 2200rpm, serial #138 HB 219. It has a twin disc pto and compression releases on both cylinders. It was run last year but has been sitting since. Any info/parts available? Is this engine worth restoring?

Thanks!

Anthony
