Listeroid Engines / Re: RIDDLE;

Welcome to the forum.
I absolutely rely on the great people here who have helped me to learn about these wonderful engines. Ours is for backup power, when the grid goes down, but I usually end up running it to make power, just for the fun of it.
Been 3 years now, and this old lunker has run like a swiss watch, no major issues.
Ok, to be fair, the fuel leaked, the exhaust broke off, there was lots of paint sticking things and it took a bit to get it all together, but overall, what a great toy this has been.
I went to the local scrap yard, and bought a couple of very large I beams, 8", X 6 ' long, bolted it all together, then to the floor. This thing ain't goin nowhere, and runs very smooth. Tie it down good.
