Hello,

I have my Powerline 10/1 exhaust manifold connected to a series of 2" nipples and threaded couplings before making it to the vertical muffler and then to a 10' piece of 2" vertical rigid. Is it normal for black oil to leak out of those fittings?

Thanks,

Listeroid Engines / Solenoid To Cutoff Listeroid Powerline 10/1
« on: January 01, 2014, 07:59:39 PM »
Happy New Year,

May you enjoy a year free of Obamacare, the NSA and the IRS.

Can someone recommend a device that I can use to cutoff my generator automatically? I just ordered a smoke detector with a set of dry contacts. Now all I need is something to pull up the lever at the governor when the smoke detector closes its contacts.

Thank You,

Jim

Listeroid Engines / Powerline 10/1 Smoking
« on: December 27, 2013, 09:33:25 PM »
Hello and Merry Christmas,

I ran my Powerline 10/1 for about 10-minutes, turned it off for about 10-minutes and then ran it again however the second time I ran it it started smoking profusely. I could not see too much because it is in the garage and visibility was quite poor but I did notice quite a bit of smoke coming from the air filter. After shutting it down I took the cover off of the air filter and the filter is black and there appears to be a ring of some sort of crud around the top of it.
I put some oil in it before starting it the first time but it ran fine the first time. It only started smoking the second time. I am wondering if the muffler system got full of oil from the exhaust the first time run and then during the 10-minute rest the oil drained back down into the manifold and then flowed into the intake manifold somehow. I have a 2" diameter by 6" long pipe nipple at the bottom of the muffler to catch stuff like this though. The generator sounded like it was running pretty good but just smoking.
Could someone share their thoughts with me on this issue?

Thanks,
Jim

Listeroid Engines / Water Reservoir
« on: December 15, 2013, 11:16:22 PM »
Hello,

I have a Powerline 10/1 with a huge radiator attached to it. It has a 5-gallon plastic bucket for a water reservoir tank. Can someone please recommend to me what I can use as a metal reservoir tank instead of my 5-gallon plastic bucket?

Thank you,

Other Fuels / Reuse old Furnace Oil Tank
« on: October 02, 2013, 11:40:12 AM »
Hello,

I've got somebody who wants to give me an old oil furnace oil tank that sits in his yard exposed to the central NC weather for decades. I am guessing that there is rust inside the tank but do not know how to check. If there is rust inside there, is there anyway to clean the tank out?
 I would like to store diesel in this tank. Are there any special guidelines that I need to follow in order to keep diesel good for years in storage?

Thanks,
Jim

Lister Based Generators / Ready To Mount Listeroid 10/1 7.5kw generator
« on: September 21, 2013, 02:28:19 AM »
Hello,

I've got my concrete block poured with 1/2" All-Thread anchors. The block is relatively level. I have a horse stall mat ready to put in-between the generator frame and the concrete block. I was wondering if someone on this forum could help me by advising me as to whether or not I should use grout and if so how do I use it to make sure the generator is perfectly level? I have been reading several threads on this forum and I am confused about whether or not I should even use both the rubber pads and the grout. If I use both do I apply just enough grout on the block to make level, let dry, lay pads and then set generator?

Thanks,

Lister Based Generators / Running Powerline 10/1 at 650RPM
« on: September 14, 2013, 03:18:51 PM »
Hello,

Would it be detrimental to my generator if I ran my Powerline 10/1 at 650RPM instead of 1000RPM. Utter Power talks so eloquently about the sound of a Lister running at 650RPM that I would like to hear it first hand. Of course I would have to change the pulley on the 1800rpm 7.5Kw ST head. But it may increase the longevity of the engine.


Thanks,

Jim

Lister Based Generators / Gib key sticking out 2 - 7/16" on Powerline 10/1
« on: September 08, 2013, 10:55:29 PM »
Hello,

I noticed that one of the gib keys on my Powerline 10/1 is sticking out 2 - 7/16" while the other gib key is only sticking out 2 - 1/4". I would like to get 3/4" more clearance on this shaft in order to install a shaft collar. Can someone please recommend how I can tap the gib key and the flywheel each in a little bit?

Thanks,

Jiim

Engines / Is Anti-Freeze Okay?
« on: September 02, 2013, 12:07:56 AM »
Hello,

Is it okay to use anti-freeze instead of water to cool my 10/1 Powerline Listeroid? I am not using a pump to circulate the water. I am using a radiator though.

Thank you,

Jim

Lister Based Generators / Lister 10/1 inside attached garage.
« on: August 02, 2013, 12:04:19 PM »
Hello,

I am thinking about putting my Listeroid 10/1 with 7.5kw ST head inside my garage for permanent use. This setup will allow me to tinker with it in comfort. My two fears are fumes getting into the house and fire spreading into the house. Are there any ways that I can do something to solve these two issues?

Thanks,

Jim

Things I want to Buy / Powerline Listeroid 10/1 manuals
« on: July 19, 2013, 02:57:12 AM »
Hello,

I just purchased a Powerline Listeroid 10/1 with a 7.5kw ST head. Can anyone recommend to me where I may purchase manuals for this engine and type generator?
I have just ordered the Utterpower CD but presume that I should have a set of manuals for this specific engine.

Thanks,
