I cannot speak for any one else, but there is nothing more I would like to have is an original Lister

But, my finances have put all my non-essential purchases on hold for a while :'(

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Anyone going to Portland IN show?
« on: September 07, 2009, 03:58:16 AM »
My dad and I were there on Thursday.

On our last tour of the Swap Meet area, I saw those also.

The CS was chugging away on the back end of a trailer, so I could not get to close to see much. I took a couple of pictures, I am not sure how they will turn out, I have not downloaded them off the camera.  The "Omega" twin was in the back of a pick up truck.

Sadly, they were both out of my price range, or I would be the proud owner of a piece of history.

I agree, thanks for getting it back. ;D ;D

This is the only place I have found that has the extensive real world experiences available for everyone.

compig, thanks for the link.

I was all over George’s site when I stumbled on to the link you steered me about the CS.

Now to get the book, read more and then find an engine.

Thanks for the replies!!

I guess I know even less than I thought.

Yes, I am more interested in the liquid cooled, but knowing which ones are air cooled is good information to have.

Is the book on ebay.uk or the US version? I am located in the US.

Thanks again.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Model Designations??
« on: March 17, 2009, 07:10:59 PM »
I have a question.

Is there a place with the model numbers (CD, JP, CS ect) with a description of the design and operation? ???

I am thinking of getting a Lister or an Indian copy, but I am confused about which model I would be satisfied with. I think the CS is the only copy that the Indians make. :-\

The CS is the only one I somewhat understand. I have found a couple of sites that list the different engines, but there are no pictures or descriptions.

This fourm is a great wealth of information. I look foreward to reading it every day, even if I do not understand all of what is said.

Thanks!!

Other Fuels / Re: alcohol

From what I have read, as long it is not used for consumption, you can use anything for distillation.

You only need about 80-90 deg C, if you were to try to extract as much of the ethanol from the mash you will need to run it up into the low 90’s.

With these temperatures you could use the cooling tank or radiator of your engine as a heat source. You can make a heating coil to put the apparatus on to heat, or a double boiler set-up.

Keep us posted with your results.
