There's a range of Amish thinking and behavior. Some are pretty fair mechanics and carpenters. Others can be complete hacks.
If they mostly treat their engines like they treat their horses, they probably can supply a pretty long income stream.

Interesting story. They are getting schooled.

Also if you are not in a hurry keep a watch on Marketplace and CL as they still pop up from time to time in new and slightly used condition. I  directed a buyer person to a new old stock 8/1 just last month that was on Marketplace and extremely cheap

I've bought 3 that way.

There is not much they can do about importing air compressors but IF they would find a way to call them not importable you would lose the engine, plus pay a fine, plus pay to have it destroyed.

Yea, but if they figure out the real goal it gets risky. I mean it's only a $45,268 fine. Well, plus $45,268 per day, so....

I'm just curious if big brother figures out the air compressor thing, if all involved would be in some hot water.

It's really about time someone's built a dynomometer for these engines. Not me tho.... ;D

How difficult would it be to do some testing and determine efficiency of each?
Power in VS power out?

Listeroid Engines / Re: Hot Water Circulator Max Temp Rating.

Seems odd as temps in hydronic heating systems can get up to 180-190F in normal operation.

Mike, you might want to read my thread. There's a video of mine running in the posts. Both sound about the same at 1800
Might want to take the pan off & have a look?

I'll wager 20 Attaboy's it's oil pressure sensor or safety switch.

Listeroid Engines / Re: Net worth of a New Metro 6/1 ?
« on: August 22, 2023, 02:54:13 PM »

You might be right. The interest group is small for sure. Right now I'm more of a collector than a seller. There are a number of engine
shows in the region and I've only ever seen one 6-1 one time. There is however plenty of money based on the collections I see, and prices posted on what's for sale. It's possible someone would want a Listeroid when the time comes to sell them. They are rare in this area.

Listeroid Engines / Net worth of a New Metro 6/1 ?
« on: August 18, 2023, 06:17:27 PM »
Please throw your opinions here, of what a brand new Metro 6/1 (partly apart) would possibly be worth today......?
Looks unmolested and preserved well. Light weight spoke flywheels
TIA
