Engines / FR2... going to try to start it. Advice?
« on: March 07, 2024, 06:37:25 PM »
FR2 that was used as a generator came with the property I bought.
The generator is disconnected and needs to be re-wound, but I believe the engine was ok. Hasn't been touched for 7-8 years. I don't have much experience with diesels...

-Hooked up a battery and gave it a bump, it moved
-Drained oil and old diesel
-Fuel filter seems clean
-Radiator is still full

Diesel tank is gravity fed... I assume I just loosen the bolt on top of filter until fuel comes out. Is it necessary to bleed where the lines go into the cylinder heads?

So after re-filling oil and diesel, handles up, lever to the right, and crank?

Lister Based Generators / Just bought a place, this came with it

Apparently was running not too long ago, I'm told the generator needs to be re-wound. Haven't tried turning it over yet.
This is an FR2? I looked for numbers stamped on it, and found a few... any more info would be great!
Also a pic of the tag on the generator at the end...
