Listeroid Engines / Re: Kirloskar help please!

I'm not up enough on those to give accurate information but if you contact DEV Precision Engineers in India I'm sure He can source and supply what you need.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Here is an odd one
« on: July 22, 2024, 10:38:14 PM »
This VA was just dropped off for a rebuild. Notice it has an SOM flywheel on it? Also has remnants of SOM linkage. I didn't know Lister built SOMs with VA power?

PM didn't go through?

I'm not sure, I've sent emails and tried the phone number I have with no response. Gary was trying to sell out several years ago. Not to cut in but if you cannot reach him and need Lister/oid parts I have most of that stuff in stock

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister 12-2 Flywheels

Quick question, have you had this engine running previously? Have you been around other twins? Reason I ask is no twin CS will settle in and run as smooth as a single.

There is some information in David Edgington's book The Lister CS Story but my copy has gone missing. The flywheels for cast iron piston 5/1 and 6/1 and twin counterparts have more off set weight than the trapezoid disk flywheels for an 8/1 and 16/2. Any round spoke flywheel will be weighted for cast iron pistons, any lightweight trapezoid disk flywheel will be for aluminum. The heavy SOM type flywheels could be either. Another thing on a twin is you must be certain you have the correct keyway orientation. The #1 side of a twin is the same as a coresponding HP (per cylinder) single but the #2 side is keyed 180 opposite. To check for correct key position decompress both cylinders and rotatebthe engine until one cylinder is at at overlap, the exhaust valve just closing, intake just opening. At that point the off set weight on that side should be down and the other side should be up.

Listeroid Engines / Re: 16-2 Fuel Pumps

Correct, the fuel pumps are not covered in the engine manual. You need to locate a Bosch or CAV pump manual or take them to somebody that knows how to check them as assembly is not terribly difficult but way to wordy for me to try and explain here.
Going back to my earlier reply
IF the pump operator is moving up and down.
And IF you have the air bled
And IF you have the rack open
And IF the pump plunger is not stuck
And IF the pumps are correctly assembled
Then they will pump fuel, there is just no more to it than that I'm aftraid.

Location always helps?

Bob, I had one of Gary's 18)1 engines here for quite some time.Never did find a use for it so it was sold just last year. They are rated at 1000 RPM, taper roller bearing mains, counterweighted crankshaft. The big end bearingvis a modern thin shell type. Mine started easily but like every other India engine I had it completely apart and made things right. Like any other engine of the type 1000 RPM is a recipe for disaster, 800 is just about it which reduces the rating. I never quite believed tbe 18HP rating. Similar engines from other sources are rated at 16HP.

Correct Bob, they have little in common with a listeroid. Bore is 130mm, stroke is 160mm vs 114.3 mm x 139.7  for Lister. They are also direct injection.

If anyone here buys that I have all the wear parts in stock, none of which Interchange with other size engines

IF the racks are free, you can move them forward and backward correct?
and IF you have them open, rack handle down, governor spring has them pulled open.
 and IF the system is bled of air
 and IF the plunger under the pumps is moving up and down when you crank the engine,
Then they will pump fuel

Hi Casey, here in the Midwest a running Witte set will fetch around $1500

You bled the infeed, that's only half the job. The line on top of the pump  going to the injector is the high pressure side. you can spin the crank for a long time and will eventually bled out or you can do it the easy way as I discribed in my first reply.

As Bob said the racks need to be open, from the linkage end that would be towards you. Next turn the fuel on and remove the high pressure line on the #1 side which is on the right when your looking at the oil pump and push rods.  Then loosen the fitting on the pump and remove it with your fingers. Watch as there is a spring under it. Then lift the delivery valve off its seat and wait for the bubbles to stop and then replace everything. Then go to the #2 side and do same. Do to the shape of the cross over line line you must let the fuel flow briskly to bleed it. A trickle or a few drops does not bleed it. After this you should have fuel coming from both pumps and you can finish bleeding the lines and injectors
