Original Lister Cs Engines / Lister 9/1 Flywheel PTO
« on: September 22, 2016, 07:37:52 AM »
gents,

i am building a PTO shaft to mount a pulley on my JP1 flywheel end.

the engine is in a rather awkward position for me to take the flywheel mounting dimension.

can anyone help me the 3 bolts PCD dimension and the flywheel step dimension to center the flange. all helps greatly appreciated.

all,

season greetings.

i am writing on behalf for the author.

these 2 engines are now available for sales.

if you are in this part of the world, and you are keen to acquire it, pls pm me.

author has now migrated to a south america country and attempt to import these 2 engines the last few months has proven to be futile and costly.

both are genuine Dursley unit. the spoked light flywheel unit was rebuilt by author with some Indian spares. the startomatic unit is all original except for a mico fuel injector.

All other parts (barring the cowling, which make it a VA and not a CS) are the same as a CS.


Not quite  ;)

The crankcase on a VA has a different stud configuration for the cylinder barrel and cylinder head, the VA has 5 x 5/8" BSW studs compared to the 4 x 3/4" BSW studs for the CS

Also the rocker pedestals differ, in that there are two pedestals on a VA, verses one for a CS.

Hi Listard JP2, i am helping a fellow enthusiast to restore his VA.

i have a question. is the injector the same or a different kind comparing to 8/1.

since he stay 300km away, i want to make sure i have the right injector when i pay him a visit.

i spent far too little time with my dad as i grew up. but our common love for these old irons always bring us quality time together. he is 83 and he has a memory of an elephant. he can tell me the torque for various size of bolt, the size, the spec of these engine, all at his finger tips.

2 3/4 inch crankshaft, 3 inch main journal. 4 bolts con rod bottom end. these engines are incredibly oversized and over engineered. every part of the JP is just massive.

Dursley origin replacement parts are left over in the shop from 30 yrs plus ago. i had just bought a set of valves, con rod bearing and top overhaul gasket set. 4 1/2 in std size ring set is not available although oversize is. these are Repco, Australian origin. Bearing is AE, UK origin.

more to come when i start to rebuild the JP.

yes, it was a HR2W. i was sort of tricked by the water pump and the belt guard.



this Ruston 2VTH was done deal



started to work on my JP1. i have no compression. most likely a worn valve. valves was not jammed. the unit is actually in pretty good shape. injection pump was not seized. camshaft lobe look great. gears/bearings are good. will give it a through overhaul together with my dad when time permits. the Withworth socket set and common open ends are Stahlwillie in KingDick tool box. it has work on many Listers and Rustons. i inherited it now.



the man and the boy

gents,

saw a few new pm in my inbox.

my apology for not responding.

somehow, after i was booted out by using my dynamic IP, i had sort of resign to the fact the LEF is no more my cup of tea.

but then now that i am on fixed IP, i get log in.

many had asked for parts/engine from China. sorry again folk. i was labelled cheater, rip off burger etc for the good of the hobby so let just say that i would not be selling more engine or parts. one forum member was cheated 3 engines and he thinks it was me although he deal directly with a party in China

if however, for life saving circumstances, i can direct you to link up directly to the manufacturer in China.

Those look like a clone of the Yanmar V-twin . Built in both horizontal but mostly vertical shaft configuration for HP lawn equipment applications. 
     There is a demand for the horizontal twins. Diesel Motor cycle enthusiasts swap the V twin diesel into bikes that used to have V twin gas engines.

I have a Yanmar L10. I will post some pix for a side by side size comparison. Not being familiar with big bike or American bike frame, it appear challenging squeeze. Particularly the added radiator.

I will leave that to the master craftmanship within us. Interesting you mentioned the Myanmar v twin, is this water cooled too. The Chinese has the L10 in v twin configuration but air cooled.

"all aluminum"   What about piston, liner and crankshaft ?    Geared cam, belt drive or chain ?  interference valves?

 And if they are EPA blessed, what about the Peoples Republic of California CARB ? (the same folks who invented the dribble gas can, you can't fit the nozzle in your car tank, sealed air tight, and when transferring fuel, more dribbles on the ground, than into the intended target)

Mike, with my limited understanding of English (i am a Malaysian chinese) , i hope to answer you correctly.

sorry, my bad. when i refer it as all aluminum, i was just referring to the cylinder head and the bottom block. i may have confused myseld with the automotive industry lingo as my toyota was advertised as a all alu D4D engine. btw, this is a 2.5L common rail, turbo direct injection diesel with 5 micro pulses per firing. thats what the brochure said.

the piston is of course alu. the rest are steel and some plastic parts.

talking about your CARB, goog old Ford of US of A in Malaysia had just introduced a new ranger 4x4 with 2.2 Lit VGT common rail diesel all alu engine and a 6 speed autobox. it has about 130hp and 300kNM of torque. within our highway speed limit of 68.75mph, the engine sings at 1900rpm!

i am beginning to suspect there is some sort of conspiracy thing going on by the auto indistry in not opting for fuel efficent vehicles in your country.

Looks like a very nicely done package! Can we get them with SAE flywheel housings?

Maybe we should stuff a container along with a batch of alternators!  :laugh:

dieselgman

Dieselgman,
not sure if the SAE applies to these PTO type of output. but i have seen unit coupled to Leroy Sommer head with just a adapter plate mounted to the engine block, the head has a hollow shaft front end with taper and screw on with a long screw from the rear for single bearing operation. this little engine is rated at 19hp at 3600rpm so shd make a compact standby unit. the speed is governed electronically. either 3000rpm or 3600rpm. there is no option to adjust unless you opt for governor less operation.

i have contacted Marath** and Stamf*** OEM here. we need to sort out some matters before it can be loaded into the container bound for NAmerica. let see.....

i think it could be a right standby unit for the storm inflicted cut out in the US of A where portability is a priority. this engine is not recommended for off grid use as i see it. the single horizonotal or your aircooled Lister would make a far better choice for duty operation.
