Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Importing a vintage Lister 6/1 into the U.S.
« on: January 22, 2026, 03:01:26 PM »
First I have heard of that.

After a little googling it looks like the "ancient engine" exemption was removed in 2023. That was the exemption for antique non-road use engines that allowed the import of original CS engines.

I am guessing that exemption which was intended for hobbyists and collectors was misused to import everything under the sun. That or the unchecked EPA under the previous administration cracked down on anything that didn't fall under their control.

Sad to hear.

Where are you located? This forum has members from practically everywhere on earth.

Also, nice collection. There are a couple I would be interested in if you aren't looking to sell them as a whole.

I have attached a couple of files that may help. One is the basic Lister manual which contains a lot of helpful info. The second is the wear limits data from the shop manual which I used to have scanned in somewhere but can no longer find so I just scanned in the relevant pages.

Thanks heaps for the docs!

You are welcome, glad I could help.

Could i ask, when i look at some of the old posts, i see replies from people but their post appears to be blank, why is that please..... i assume that is why some helpful info is lost/missing?

This forum has had some ups and downs over the years. There have been a few members who opted to leave and wanted their data scrubbed from the site as well as a couple who opted to "take their ball and go home" and scrubbed their own data in the process leaving a lot of posts edited blank. There were also some issues when a huge photo hosting site, photobucket, went from free hosting to an extortion model for hosting which degredaded a lot of posts.

broncodriber99.......
Thanks so much for sharing those files !!, i just knew there must have been more info available but years of asking Google only brought me the standard engine manual, im very grateful.

You are quite welcome, sorry I didn't get them to you sooner. Technical information on these engines is a little thin as they come from an era when most of that knowledge was passed one person to the next instead of being published.

How funny you have seen our YTvideos, small world eh?....... here is a small video, not public, of the milking parlour i built and is now working .... https://youtu.be/JSWc9z6WGc8

It really is. Thank you for the video. The parlor has come a long way and looks fantastic! Good to see everyone is doing well. I hope you guys will continue to put out an update video from time to time. They were always really well put together and Molly does such a good job with commentary. I imagine you guys are busy as can be these days.

Been meaning to respond to this thread for ages but kept getting side tracked. I used to follow your youtube channel. I came across it searching for lister videos and came across the series where you guys cleaned up the engine shed and got it running. I enjoyed watching you guys get the place cleaned up and liveable as well as getting the water system operational. I hope the goats are doing well!

Ade, please feel free to save these or post them somewhere conspicuous for future reference.

Gotta finish reading the rest of this thread. Hope the info helps.

It keeps the fuel pump tappet from rotating so that the roller stays properly aligned on the cam lobe.

Sounds like it may be something they identified and changed along the way in earlier years of production. The earliest CS I have been into was a 1952. I'm not sure what year exactly Lister went from the 4 digit part numbers to the hyphonated 5-6-7 digit part numbers, I feel like it was mid to late 40's to the 5 digit and then they kept adding another digit every decade or so.

You talking about the one pictured below that runs parallel to the bore? Every original cam I have seen has had one. May have been something that changed early on in production.

I just looked in my original parts book and they do show the pin installed in the sleeve in the illustration buy do not list it seperately. There are 4-5 parts in a CS that were sold as assemblies from Lister.

I'm not sure what happened with the LEF Gallery. I used to upload the photos there and link them to my forum posts but that stopped working a few years ago, or I forgot how to do it. The above method seems to work as long as the files aren't massive.

I you click on the "Attachments and other options" icon under the text box when typing a message it should open the option to attach files. There are some limits on file size and type though. I am attaching a photo for test purposes. Let's see how it goes.

I believe most of the Lister gen sets from that era were equipped with a "Day" tank. I would guess somewhere between 5-7 gallons for that beast. I believe the CS plants were offered with 2.5 gal, 5 gal, and 7 gal tank sizes.

The 2.5 gal was engine mounted, the rest were wall mounted as well as having the possibility of a bulk tank connection.

Hello and welcome,

That is an SR1 StartoMatic unit. Should be capable of around 3kw. There should be another tag on the generator head that will give you the details on that part of the unit.
