Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Alternative use for a Lister CS 5/1

Tom,

Thanks for your suggestion. We had also considered that and its going to take abit of tinkering to get it to work properly.

I'll keep you all posted.

I've a frost crack to fill up first, looks like the guy before me liked to use gasket glue on everything!! Plus some sludge to disperse in the sump.

Guys,

I'll try and answer a few of your questions.

After eventually meeting a guy local to me who came and had a look at the engine we have decided that the governing problem is probably due to the fact that the foot pedal throttle is directly connected to the bottom of the governor rack linkage (the L shaped piece) thus there is no spring and hook as would be present on standard CS governors.

Currently the rod connected to the governor linkage is sprung but doesn't allow the linkage to move when the governor wants to reduce the power.

We intend to restore the standard CS governor spring and hook and check the engine runs ok. After that we'll see how the foot pedal should enter the equation.

There is only one fly wheel. The other end of the crank goes straight into a gearbox that gives you forward and reverse and two for speed gears.

The engine is cranked through the rear of the gear box.

Originally there would have been a belt on the flywheel that would have driven a fan mounted behind the original radiator.

Any more questions???

I'm after a few parts if anyone has any going spare:

Fuel pump pawl, check plate, pin, pulcrum pin, check plate nut.
Rocker greaser end cap.

Hi, I've justĀ  come across you forum.

I have a Lister CS 5/1 in a Ruston road roller that I use to roll our cricket square with in Cambridge, UK.

Although it runs and starts first time, it has a tendancy to gain speed. Any ideas why this would be?
