« on: May 07, 2019, 03:49:54 AM »
Hi, I have a 6-1 lister and having trouble with my voltage. the voltage is producing 70 volts and not sure what to check or how to adjust the voltage. I took ever wire and connector out and cleaned the connections one by one making sure not to put any thing in the wrong spot and made sure every wire was tight in the control box and is still putting out 70 volts. there is a component in the box that looka like you can adjust it. it a spool of wire about 3 inches long with a band over it with wires attached. not sure if that's the part that need adjusting .i will try to ad pics tks

Original Lister Cs Engines / stratomatic 6-1 oiling
« on: April 08, 2019, 08:33:23 PM »
 On the hub before the flywheel on both sides there a screw on top of the hub. Is this for oiling or just oiling on a rebuild. I change the oil regularly but was wondering if I have to add oil to this location and is there any other areas for oiling . I know you have to grease the cam and the bearings on the generator on both sides, Thanks.

Original Lister Cs Engines / 6-1 muffler
« on: June 14, 2011, 02:27:37 AM »
 Hi Guys, i was going to make a muffler out of a regular propane tank for my 6-1 lister. I was wondering when you cut the hole on each end of the tank how long should the pipe be inside the tank and do you block both ends of the pipe inside and have holes in the pipe. I read alot of post on here in the past but couldn,t see anything on this subject. Any other info on how to make the muffler will be great to know. Thanks alot Rob.

« on: March 08, 2011, 03:16:09 AM »
Hi Guys, i started up the lister 6/1  over the weekend and left the compression valve screwed in possision for 4 hours, Do you think this will cause any damage buy leaving it in. I have another question, to decoke the carbon of the piston a guy told me to spray automotive intake valve cleaner in when cold and wait10 minutes and start it up,He said you will see alot of grey smoke for awhile and will be great after. Has anybody tried this, thanks so muck. Lister Rob.

Original Lister Cs Engines / oiling a 6-1
« on: May 14, 2009, 05:55:25 AM »
 hi guys, i read in a post here that there is a spot on the head to add oil and i can,t seem to find it. It said that there was a hole to add 50 mls of oil  close to the lifters.  i filled the valve gides with oil  and greased the rocker shaft, grease in the push rod tops and was wondering where this hole is or am i mistaken. if so does anyone have a picture so i can see and if there are other spots that would be great to know also. thanks.

I know of the brushes and bearings but is there anyting else i need to know, like a better brush or bearing or other parts or tricks for installing parts. And is there another way to boost the voltage besides increasing the rpm. Any help will be great. Lister Rob.

Original Lister Cs Engines / cs 6-1
« on: June 18, 2008, 07:49:46 AM »
 I have a cs 6-1 and the rad hose broke and got hot, let cool down and never had any compression. Took it down and the head was cracked, replaced that with new pis. rings .I measured the ring gap of the new rings at the bottom of the cyilinder and the gap was 18 thousand, the book said no less than 12 thousand. Put it back together and is burning blue smoke. I homed and cleaned the cyilinder, is there a front or back to the pis. posistion. I have the no. on the rod faceing the oil cover and the dipper is faceing broud side but the book says it sould be end on and cut like a nife but i was afraid to move back because i might not get any or much oil splashing.I thought about putting in 10 thousand over side rings but i was not sure and it maybe to tight .Any info. will be great thanks.
Lister Rob.
