Drain the  oil and try a magnet on a stick.   Sounds like the sleeves are seized in the pumps a soak in diesel might help

Time to take the camshaft cover off and check whether the bob weights move freely

General Discussion / Re: What generator is this ?

From your pictures it looks like one of the cross field generators and probably a lister SL2 diesel. Its worth what the buyer will pay for it.
Those generators didn't like starting motors a modern generator with a separate voltage control works better for that application.

If your genset is the one I am thinking of it is an SL2 and the solenoids were used to pull the throttle of its stop and the other one operated the decompressor levers It will be fixed speed at 1500 rpm.

One thing to check is the value of the capacitor in parallel with the D relay if it is too small D will chatter and release

Doesn't look too bad in the video. If it is solid mounted to the fame you will certainly get some vibration from the Lister twins. The battery needs to be on rubber mounts or it will have a very short life.

You might be on the right track with the lift pump. If this doesn't work check what happens with the pump linkages. The engine should start with full fuel and then move to minimum fuel position. if it moves back to full fuel as it dies you have a fuel supply problem. You will need to have the fuel pump doors off for this and probably somebody to start it while you are watching.

Don't know if you have a Hr3 manual but timing procedure is in section 3 page 37 of the manual. If you don't have one I can send you a P.D.F.

There is no way you can crank it without operating the decompressors. To test get a spare injector pipe and bend it so it points away from the fuel door then you can check the injector atomisation on any Lister motor.
