Gary,  do you sell the belts as well?   Or do you have a recommendation on where to get them?

Things I want to Buy / Re: seeking CS 8/1 Aluminium Piston
« on: December 16, 2015, 10:53:33 PM »
I got a 6-1 that mistakenly had a aluminum piston instead of the cast iron.  I decided to put it together with that to try it.  It balanced very well.

They should be viewable now.

I didn't know there was a private setting.

Lister Market Place (things for Sale) / Listeroid 6-1
« on: January 01, 2015, 04:25:50 PM »
It seems as I always have too many projects and too little time. 
I have a 6-1 built in the summer of 2013 from DES.  It was thoroughly cleaned and sealed.  It was only run for minutes to fine tune the balance.  It has not been run to break it in yet.  It is balanced very well.  It will run just on 2 4x4's sitting on the garage floor.  I have an upgraded fuel filter installed.  I also have a new ST-5 from CGG and I have the pulley for the generator head.  I also have a 12 volt starter from one of the members.  I also have a gib key puller as well as a glow plug (not installed).  All that is needed to compete is a radiator and hoses and a belt.  This would be an excellent engine for on a cart since it is balanced so well.

I am selling everything together.  I will not part it out, because if it doesn't sell, I will eventually finish it.

$3640.00 cash only, picked up only.
I have an engine hoist and could load into a low trailer.

Located in Central Pennsylvania.

The following video's are of this engine running fastened to 2 4x4's which are just sitting on a concrete floor.

I do have the belt off.  I will try the synthetic oil. I plan to get the friction starter as soon as I have the funds.  Plus this old body doesn't work as well in the cold as it used too.
Thanks

Listeroid Engines / cold weather starting question
« on: November 30, 2013, 03:33:55 PM »
I have a new 6/1 which I put together this spring.  I never had any problems starting it.  I wanted to see if it would start in cold weather.  It's 10 deg F.  I can't crank it through the compression stroke.  Is this normal or did I get weak?

Listeroid Engines / Re: Gib key broke while running
« on: July 07, 2013, 04:17:41 PM »
I'm having computer issues, so I can't post pictures for the time being.

The flywheels were not on backwards.  I just tried that and I can't even get the key to start in.  When I said I couldn't get the key in all the way, it was out 1/2 inch from the mark where they were originally.  It's not like they were barely in. 

I pulled the other key to compare the two keys.  There is not as much sheared off as I had thought.  Only the very end is broken off.  I had thought that they keys came out to nearly a point.  Bad memory.

It seems as the key must have come out and as it was coming out, is probably when the end sheared off. 

I put the other one back in and it stopped moving about 1/2 inch from where it was originally.  I then turned the flywheel so the keyway is at the bottom and tried driving it in further.  It did go in farther and is now about 1/8 from the original mark.

I soaked them for a week and had to use the breaker bar on the key puller to get them broke loose.  I will post pictures tomorrow.

It was a new listeroid.  Very minor marking of the crank.  The center of the flywheel has a spot where it looks like it was turned on a lathe. 

I found the largest piece of the key, but not the small piece. I assume it ground up to nothing in the center of the flywheel.

Listeroid Engines / Gib key broke while running
« on: July 06, 2013, 12:38:14 AM »
Does anyone have any insight as to what would cause a gib key to break?

I had the shafts, and keyways and the keys clean and dry when I installed them.  I used a 4lb hammer and a punch and I thought that I had them in plenty tight.  They weren't in as far as they were originally, but they were no longer moving as I was driving them in.  I was careful to not hit them off square.  There were no obvious defects in them when I removed them.

This was my first time running the engine.  ( a 6/1 ). I ran it 3 times for no more than a minute as I was balancing it.  The next time as it started, the key broke.  Luckily the flywheel stayed on the shaft and just spun there freely until coming to a stop.

I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Thanks

Listeroid Engines / Re: Camshaft end tapered pin
« on: June 19, 2013, 02:17:04 AM »
I'm starting assembly.

How hard do I drive the new tapered pin in?  When I removed the pin it was really drove in there.  Thought I was going to need heat to get it out.
