Petteroids / 3 Lister Petters for $20!!
« on: August 22, 2009, 06:09:37 AM »
Woo Hoo! ;D

 Bought 3 Lister Petters from work today for $20!  I almost needed a paper bag to breath in :o

 So what I have is 1 running SR1 (1 cyl air cooled 7.5hp)  (S/N 5266SR1A21)   Needs some TLC  injection pump leaking fuel into crankcase and blew out crank seal.

 And 2 LPA3 (3 cyl air cooled)  (S/N 4300528LPA3A079)  1 running...  1 missing injection pumps sitting out in the open for 7 years :'(

 The mechanic that works on the ground support equipment (I work at an airport on commercial airliners) says "I don't know anything about diesels" so these engines have been just sitting needing simple repairs.

 Over lunch the ground support equipment manager (Bill) handed me a new in the box Lister Petter injection pump for the SR1 "Here put this in your lunch box you will find a use for it" ;D   
 
 "Oh I have all the shop manuals for the engines you can have those too" :o

 All came from light towers at work and were sold to me for scrap value. I may get too keep the generator heads too but Bill was undecided on those.

 I should go buy a lotto ticket..... ::)

 I will post pictures when I can.

Listeroid Engines / Leaking intake valve
« on: June 29, 2008, 10:41:27 AM »

 I was doing an inspection on the 6/1  Have the intake and exhaust off and noticed a fair amount of air leaking past the intake valve when rolled over to compression. :o

Exhaust was leaking also but not as bad.

I'm thinking pull the head and send it in for a good valve job.

Ehhhh just an excuse to hear some stories from you guys ;D

Everything else / Trojan T-105 Battery
« on: June 15, 2008, 01:09:12 PM »
I just brought home 8 T-105's from work (2yr's old) because after an over-nite 10 amp charge some cell's only had s.g. of 1.175.

Now the equipment they come out of just have a simple 24volt 20 amp 3 stage charger. (Genie 19 foot scissor lift -4 batteries in series per unit for 24 volt system)

I found by giving them a good equalization charge and after sitting over-nite I get an s.g. of 1.300 on all cell's :)

I will be adding to this new bank because management won't let me take the time to equalize the batteries in our fleet (30 plus unit's)

Boss said "I don't want to mess with that crap just put in new batteries" (At a cost of $400+ per unit) :o

For you off grid guys what do you do to bring a battery back other than running a de-sulfate cycler/equalization charge?

Has anyone used any of the liquid/power products that you dump in the cells to "make them like new again"

My other battery bank is C&D tech AGM's so I don't have to do much to them.

I'm tired of reading stuff on the net and would like a real world "This is what I did/worked for me"

Yes it's 5 am on a Sunday, I have a pregnant wife so sleep is a bit hard to come by these days ;D

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Changfa 170 or kubota EL300?
« on: February 23, 2008, 06:19:57 AM »
I keep eyeballing a kubota EL300?

The kubota will run me $100-200 or so more and I deal with them every day at work.

Now the changfa I have read a LOT about, and I like it!

I know you guys will steer me to the changfa but I'm throwing out the question anyway.

I have been wanting to build a 12 volt battery charger/ ac gen for quite a while now. ::)

Generators / Power Mite Generator Question
« on: February 14, 2008, 04:26:22 AM »
I just picked up a Power Mite generator from work. It's made by Fabco Power Chester, NY.

It is a model PM-110, 110 volt 3500 watt. It has 525 hours on it. The unit is not operating. It was burned up some how. I only get 8 volts out of it.

It came out of a boom lift. Boss decided to spend $1,100 on a new one instead of overhauling this one. ???

Does anyone have information or experience with these generators?

Listeroid Engines / Thermostat W /Radiator
« on: November 18, 2007, 07:41:39 PM »
How has a thermostat / radiator/ thermo syphion setup worked for you folks with 6/1 roid's?. Also how did you guys incorporate the thermostat into the cylinder head/cooling system. I will use a fan with the rad of course so the thermo syphion will work.

Sorry if type is bad. I'm typing from my phone. I love technology!
