I have a Lister  ST2 and I was considering the Harbour Freight 10kw generator head for a standby home generator. They seem to have pretty good reviews. The problem being is I don't want to run my Lister at 3600 rpm[if possible]. If I use pulleys at 2 to 1 ratio to keep my rpms at 1800 to 2000 rpms will the Lister have enough power to run the gen? I wouldnt be loading it to the max.
   I would just be running the LP furnace[in winter], 1/2 hp[220 volt]  well pump, some lighting and maybe an occasional 120 volt appliance.
   I am retired and on fixed income so money is a caution. That being the reason for the Harbour Freight gen head at $329.

   Hello all,
 I have a Lister ST2 with 2 plungers that go thru the air shroud and screw into the intake manifold. I can find no reference to them in the Service manual. They are shown in the parts manual and just called an "oil reservoir and plunger".They look like they are closed on the bottom [ no orifice]. Are they for some kind of a starting aid or a pre-lube for the upper part of the cylinder before startup?
