Listeroid Engines / First good 6-1 run
« on: September 24, 2018, 09:02:42 PM »
I had my first good run with my Listeroid 6-1 Saturday. I call it a huge success, the culmination of many hours of thought, elbow grease and studying the wisdom of others. Particular thanks to George Brekenridge.

The 6-1 is coupled with Harbor Freight 10KW, 3600rpm, 2-bearing head. It was found still in the box on Facebook Market Place for $200 at an estate sale. While the 6-1 will never put out much more than 3KW at the reduced power it should outlast me. This simple, unregulated brushless head handles the unbalanced 120V / 240V loads much better than the 3 brush type Chinese ST-5 heads I tried.....

The rudimentary flywheel balancing / equalizing I did two years ago is pretty close. It tends to slide a little bit under a 2500 watt load, but that might be because the governor is drooping 8hz from 62hz at no load to 54hz at 2500 watts...... (In the picture it shows 61hz at load, but that was after a manual adjustment.)

I'll work on the governor next.......

___SOLD____
I used this successfully with a Lister clone 6-1 and an ST generator.
Diameter is 8.25
Gooves = 7
Standard "K" section automotive
38mm bore on the Taper-Lock bushing (not 1-1/4 as marked)

The generator was junk, so now this nice Taper-Lock pulley can be yours for $50 plus actual USPS or UPS actual cost from Florida USA.

Thanks for looking...

Listeroid Engines / Has anyone tried using a pulse-type fuel pump on Lister / Listeroids?
« on: April 17, 2017, 08:25:21 PM »
I'd like my fuel tank to be mounted in the base.  The pulse-type fuel pumps seem efficient and inexpensive.  Has anyone made them work on a Listeroid application?

Thanks,  Bill

Listeroid Engines / Are my flywheels typical?
« on: January 26, 2017, 07:14:27 PM »
I'm new here so Hello to everyone.

I have a 6/1 clone I've considered a Kit Engine for a while and have just found time to work on the thing.

I've stripped the castings down, and painted everything.  During the Flywheel inspection I was not impressed by the quality of the casting.  They do look good now with flash, sand and mis-matches ground out. 

In my effort to match them I made a 2" shaft with ball bearings and used that as an easy way to use the "string and bucket method" to match them.  Interestingly enough the key slots are in the correct location compared to the geometry of the wheel, however the both wheels settle to an awkward position.

I'm not sure if I figured out how to link a picture but the settle with the counterweight about 10 degrees from center.  It takes about 7 oz of lead at what should be the three o'clock position to get them close.

Other than that they ring OK and are within about 2oz of each other.  It appears to be a combination of mold mismatch and porousity in the castings.  As bad as they are, they are remarkably consistent.

Thanks,  Bill
