Thanks everyone. Can`t wait to get back home to the bits in the post to have a crack at it. Glort, you got guts to admit to that, respect you for that old chap. Mick

Thanks Cobbadog,
When I get back from a working trip I will change the governor springs and free up any sticky bits. Good call on air leaks, I must be sucking air into the carb or gaskets so that's the next job. Cheers. Mick

Guys, thanks for the comments re the rough running Lister A. I have a new rather strong spring on the throttle adjuster so I have lengthened that with a bit of locking wire. Today I noticed that the governor springs do not reset back to an idle position so I will change them Maybe then I can get a good datum to start from. I am not sure about the carb slide valve in the air inlet, is it admitting too much air so that the adjustable air valve is only just cracked open. Any comments ?
Cheers Mick

Hi 38ac,

My fuel is opened about 15degs from closed which seems reasonable and I can easily admit more fuel but that makes it worse. The air is only just cracked from full closed and closing or opening makes it run at top speed with no control or starves it of air. There seems to be no sweet spot between. I wondered about the governor valve, if that was preventing a happy setting. ? My Lister D is great but this Lister A is really difficult to set right.

My Lister A will only run at a very rich idle with barely any air valve opening - any ideas please ?
