Listeroid Engines / Finally brought home a roid
« on: June 26, 2018, 02:39:04 PM »
Hi all, from Manitoba.

I picked up a GTC a couple weeks ago, after wanting one for about 8 years. Location, spouse, and money were the problem factors discouraging my purchase. These important considerations have been addressed and she(he?) is sitting in my barn waiting to be mounted up.

I poked around in the crankcase (unpainted) with a strong light and found it to be clean. It was recommended by the seller to specifically check around/behind the cam; reaching my fingers in as best I could, it seemed good too. Dabbing small pieces of white cotton up there showed only oily residue. Oiled and fueled, she started easily and I ran it for about 1 minute, then drained the oil. That's about all the time I can spend on this til late fall/winter, but it was a thrill for Dad (83) and me too.

And if anyone is curious, it was fairly smooth -more up/down than side motion- mounted on a heavy angle and C-channel frame with wheelbarrow tires. The wheels were really to bring the engine into the barn; they will be removed when the frame goes onto concrete pad (16"thick).

I have found good information in the archived posts and look forward to contributing if I can. I don't get into politics or arguments online.

Good day folks
