Petteroids / Lister Petter AC1
« on: February 05, 2011, 07:09:18 AM »
I just bought a Lister Petter AC1 that I intend to turn a gen head. My AC 1 is a 6.5 bhp at 3600 rpms.
Here are pictures of my engine:
My questions are, is this considered a very good to excellent model? Is it one of their more durable models?
Also, for genny use I have to have it operating so that it turns the gen head at 1,800 rpms to achieve 60 hertz is it? I am assuming I am going to have to rig pulleys to achieve this, but, is there a way to do this by throttle or governor and extending the life of the engine at the lower speeds at the same time?
Thank you for your advice and input.
