Here's an electric start conversion for your interest

I've been intrigued by the many and various discussions regarding cold starting aids for Listers. Living in a climate where the temperature range does not generally drop below 10 degC (50 degF), such aids don't really feature on my to-do list.  However, I did "discover" a cold start feature on my Massey Ferguson tractor when I bought an operator's manual, and I thought it might be a useful suggestion for those that do have to use hairdryers, propane torches and the like to get their Listers going in the dead of a North American or European winter.

The Thermostart feature is a type of glow plug or electric element with fuel piped to it via a thermostatic valve fitted into the intake manifold. I've never used it on the MF tractor, and I just turn the key straight past that position on the ignition switch.

I looked on Youtube, and sure enough, someone else has documented a demonstration.

Apparently it was manufactured by CAV but is quite an archaic concept in relation to modern diesel engine design and emissions regulations. Has anyone considered this for their Lister?

 not for the faint-hearted....

I came across this advertisement - it seems there is a difference of opinion as to whether an Indian made engine, apparently produced from original Lister moulds, is actually a Lister or not. That this engine is branded "OMEGA" suggests not, despite what the seller claims. Anyone heard of these?
