For anyone in Australia this might be worth a look https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lister-6hp-Diesel-240v-3-5kVa-Generator/283011641205?hash=item41e4ceef75:g:8cEAAOSw8SpbJfL9&rmvSB=true

Sorry for letting the cat out of the bag, for what it`s worth I won`t be bidding on it.

The Brush generator head on that has two bearings so it could easily be utilized with a roid. It has two slip rings for AC generation and brushes and a commutator ring for starting. I believe the ST1 ran a 12 volt starter setup (my ST2 runs 24 volt).

Air cooled works very well, the flywheel acts as a blower driving cool air through the vanes on the cylinder block. You can get a shroud that allows you to vent the hot air outside.

I would never use the SOM facility with modern electrics. I have rigged a single light bulb to start mine, I then throw the cross over switch once she`s up to speed.

Most of the relays and solenoids can be rewound and the electronics rebuilt. Publishing the manuals would be a great service. Give me a shout if you buy it.

Good luck,

Bob

Hey Glort, I saw that the vendor had re-posted the SOM. If you were looking for a project, to keep you busy, that would probably be it. If your looking for an off the shelf generator buy a Honda. Apologies for the blasphemy. :laugh:

My ST2 took hundreds of hours to rebuild by the time I had rewound all the relay and solenoid coils. Dieselgman supplied all the mechanical spares at a reasonable price, despite having to ship them half way around the world.

Very glad I did it but it`s not for the faint hearted or anyone with a job.

$5700!

Good grief.

You could have a brand new 12hp delivered air-mail to your door for AU$2000 - most of that is the shipping price!
