Still some brackets missing, found they were on the fuel tank. Was the first run in the new location.

Very nice! My VA is still a waiting its turn in the shop.
-
Beautifully quiet for an air-cooled unit
-
Great job.
Looks and sounds really nice.
-
Sweet music. Nicely done!
-
Wow! Did you re-balance this engine or is this just the incredible superiority of the original Lister?
-
It's like a symphony!

Thanks for all the nice replies, its missing some brackets so when I speed it up the air casing is resonating and touching the flywheel. Brackets were welded to the fueltank support still need to mount them.
When you speed it up it does start to 'walk" a bit. It's an 8/1 with alluminium piston maybe that helps to keep it more ballanced. I have a 6/1 som thats really not as ballanced as this.
Greetings Bernhard

A little ''walk'' or front to back movement means it's slightly overbalanced...which gives you the least vertical movement and is often the best compromise.

Hi Everyone
BruceM, good tip, that's why it's worth being in this forum! Many years of experience!
As Butch says, something has to stay here (in the forum) for the future (generation) ... that no one knows how it will be...
Havea shiny day

Great job . Just about put me to sleep

Very nice! Like those VA engines. Pity they are very hard to come by... wonder why they were not as popular as the water cooled engines?
-
The VA was produced only for a short time as compared to the CS and (I was told) cost more. They also were slightly less fuel efficient due to the power required to blow air and having no control of the operating temperature. They were much more popular in certain areas of the world than others. Here in the states it is not terribly difficult to find one, I have one sitting in line to go through the shop one day.
