Lister Market Place (things for Sale) / Power Line Listeroid 10/1 Genset For Sale near Atlanta GA $3000 [SOLD]

« on: July 04, 2013, 09:35:18 PM »

As a hobbyist, I built this to power my workshop and for emergency backup power by following the advice found here - thanks gang! Works well to power my welder. No emergency use needed - yet. I has used less than a tank of fuel, so it is probably not or barely broken in.
It is located near Atlanta, GA, USA. I am posting on Craigslist locally and we'll see what happens.

Things I want to Buy / Re: Looking for parts for my AD1 Lister-Petter

« on: January 15, 2011, 01:13:31 AM »

I was hoping to locate the pieces to hand-crank the engine. It seems the pieces might still be available separately, but I am hoping a kit might be had with all of them in one group.
A fuel tank might be nice, perhaps a spare injector and fuel pump.

I am open to suggestions...

Re: Mike Monieth/listeriodusa1 and electric starter system

A while back I visited Mike at his shop in NC - great guy! Really knowledgeable and friendly, and man what a workshop! He turned my Stover-type flywheel for a ring gear which he had in stock. In one step both my major hurdles were passed. After a bit of fabrication I now have an electric-start Powerline 10/1. Can't say I've done much more that test it, but it does crank it over nicely.

Engines / Re: Non Rotating Tappet Fix

Hmmm,

I found my tappet faces were out of square by about .008" on the exhaust and .002" on the intake. The intake would rotate with fiddling the guide, but the exhaust would rotate only a bit and then slip back no matter what. Once the faces were trued they both rotate like mad!

Nope, no acetylene pranks for me.

Back in high school a buddy and I got hold of some pamphlets on firework manufacture. They also stepped you through common explosives like gunpowder, nitroglycerin, and some funny stuff made with ammonia and iodine crystals. We took it easy on the more exotic stuff once we made a batch of guncotton and tried using his mom's dryer lint filter to dry it out. A spark of static set it off, blew the door open! Flaming bits flew across the room into the tray of crude gunpowder and whoosh!!! Instant calamity - all smoke and flames, not much damage! I think we learned a valuable lesson, once we settled down...

You might try Tom Osborne, he's on eBay and is located here south of Atlanta, GA. He's where I got mine. He usually has more stuff than currently advertised.

He's got an STC 7.5kw advertised now, not sure what the difference is: 150231948253

No financial interest, just done business with him.
