Listeroid Engines / What glow plug to use
« on: March 27, 2008, 05:31:11 PM »
I just imported a few 6/1 COV plugs and will be drilling and tapping them to accept a 12 volt glow plug.
Does anyone have any suggestions what brand/ part number glow plug to use?
Would also appreciate hearing about anyone's experience with glow plugs on an 'iod.

Petteroids / Mini Petteroid parts needed
« on: January 02, 2007, 10:18:32 PM »
I need a fuel pump and injector for a 3.5 hp mini-petter from Ashwamegh.
Please let me know of any sources you can think of.
I got this machine from Joel at Power Solutions, He's left the trade, I think.
The good folks at Ashwamegh appeared helpful at first, but seem to have faded away, no email replies for a few months.
Thanks!
Steve

Listeroid Engines / Re: Specific Fuel Consumption

I have a few barrels of transformer cooling oil (mineral oil) that I'm using as fuel for my Metro 6/1 from Crosby.
I was considering using it as coolant, any advice?

We have a 3.5 MP by Ashmawegh here, and haven't learned to like it yet.
See Smoky Petter Post, that's us.
Where would be a good place to buy parts for it in the US?
We are thinking about replacing the injection pump, what do you think?
Here are the latest videos of the thing running...

Anyone have parts for these?
(Or a 6/1 Listeroid for sale)

One more thing to note; This particular engine was built by Ashmawegh.
I think Power Solutions is currently buying their engines from another supplier.

Petteroids / Thermostat needed (?) for 3.5 HP Petter
« on: June 14, 2006, 09:52:04 PM »
I am working with mkdutchman, trying to unsmoke a mini-petter. (see post by mkdutchman)
Some say we need a thermostat, some say thermosiphon takes care of itself.
What have you experiences been?
What type of thermostat are you using and where can I get one?

Just to get a few things straight; I bought the Mini-Petter from Joel Koch at PowerSolutions, not from Utterpower.com.
I was directed to Joel from Utterpower and was under the impression that the two are in this together.
Not so, apparently, since communication with George at Utterpower.
I bought the Listeroid CD from Utterpower earlier, and was not dissapointed, and recommend it for any new owner of Indian Listeroids.
The problem lies with the quality of the product and no person, both George and Joel have been helpful in our ongoing efforts to get our Mini-Petter going.
The post above was not meant to  hurt or embarrass anyone, just to share what has been our experience with the engine.
The free exchange of knowlege is the beauty of the information age!

Fattywagonman,
Would you consider building a pm alternator for us?
What is the difference in efficiency versus an oem alternator?

YES! a Petteroid forum is needed.
We are in the middle of trying to get a 3 hp Ashwamegh mini-Petteriod running. Intend to run an alternator/ batteries/inverter setup
Got it from the folks at  utterpower.com/ Joel Koch a few months ago.
Lots of sand, they sent other crank pin bushings as the original ones were scored like you would gag over.

We tore it down to the last bolt and cleaned up.
Now we are waiting for aother cam shaft as the timing was irrepairably off, tried to tinker it out with shims under the injector pump and fiddling with clearances, even slipped the timing gear a notch, which helped a bit.
Hoping the new cam shaft will be machined by someone who didn't use some white powder :P instead of curry with his lunch.
Can always use the sand in the children's sandbox.... ::)...
