Original Lister Cs Engines / Removing injector English 6/1
« on: May 07, 2008, 11:59:53 PM »
Hi guys. I loosened off the nuts on the injector retaining plate and tried to bump the injector loose with compression but no luck. I was cranking the flywheels as fast as I could by hand before I dropped the exhaust rod but she just wont move. Not tempted to start prying etc and buggering something up so any suggestions are welcome thanks. Wont be back online for a couple days but I'll get back probably Fri night, thx again, Paul.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Really cold start Lister

Went out to start the CS today after 60 days of storage and had to use a torch to preheat the air intake to get it to fire !! Looking at a top end rebuild next spring and getting her belted up !!  Happy New Year everyone,  Paul.

Lister Based Generators / ? for my fellow Ontarians

When building completely off the grid do you still need an electrical inspection ? I mean independent of what your insurance company would demand. Thx

 Hi gang.At long last after a lot of problems with registering i am finally able to post.My name is Paul and I am in Minden Ont in Canada.I own a 1957 6/1 with heavy flywheels and the factory rad option.Unusual that the flywheels DONT have any grooves or coupling spots but it is mounted on a 1964 SOM cast base so Mounting a gen head should be easy.This unit will give us power for our cabin and either electrically or by belt run an air compressor to pump our water.Am wondering if under load it will generate enough heat to bother running it through an in floor radiant tube system or would the expense be not cost effective.This is a new engine for me and my first CS so it has been a great few weeks of tinkering and learning about it.The fuel rack is stiff so I am taking the injector and pump off and having it serviced by a diesel shop that is familiar with CAV stuff.Look forward to participating in lots of threads here. P.
