Engines / Lister SL2 Oil Filtration
« on: May 30, 2017, 08:01:52 PM »
Hi All,

Doing a bit of setup maintenance on my lister SL2 SOM.

Doing an oil change and noticed there is no filter, so i realised much should settle in the sump. That in mind, i decided to remove the side plate and remove the muck and clean the gauze.
Lots of sludge in there.

I've compared the manual to the engine, and it looks to me like there is no strainer in this engine either!? Manual shows it the full width of the sump, but i have nothing.

Would some one have removed it?

Cheers in advance. Oh, engine is 1961 by the way.

Hi All,

I had some issues with an SOM, lazy starting, smoke and no output. Anyway, I've located the faulty component, which is apparently a suppression capacitor. The generator is 4kva and is badged as a Lister unit, though from what I've read, it is likely made by Brush.

Anyone have experience with this part? I found the spec listed as .25uF 250v 60A, but I've struggled to find anything suitable, especially this shape. I've also seen people who have bypassed it and made a nylon bush, any negative effects? Anyone done this?

Cheers,

Jonny

Generators / SL2 Start O Matic Manual
« on: May 19, 2017, 09:57:26 AM »
Hi All,

I've just got a Lister Genset and joined the forum for some help/advice that I'm sure I'm going to need!

Firstly, does anyone have a manual for a 1961 SL2 start O Matic Genset? I think the number is 442, or maybe 422. I have the SL2 engine manual.

I nearly had it running last night, but ran out of steam winding it for bleeding, its making all the right noises now though. Electric start was sluggish, but the batteries I was using weren't great! The auto start seems to work but not sure the solenoids are working for the rack and decompression...

Any advice welcome!

Cheers,

Jonny
