Good output.14.5 amps if you run 240 volts, nearly 32 amps if you run 110 volts. Here in Australia the only appliance that would require that amount of juice is a large electric hot water cylinder. I will be very interested to know what she maxes out at.

Hi 38ac, I definitely had serious wear on that end of my camshaft. I put it in the lathe and turned the shaft down to fit the next smaller size bush.So I now have an original CS with a metric oilite bush at that end. I also had a lot of wear in the governor weight pivot pins, I reamed them out to fit the next sized high carbon steel rod I could find.
I suspect that some of the wear problems I found were due to poor maintenance by previous owners or the amount of hours it had done.

Hi Weirdfish, Rob at Old Timer Engines in Australia has 5 in stock according to his web site. He will ship overseas.

Hi NickS, there should be an identification plate on or around the crankcase door on the other side of the engine from your photo. I note there is no starter motor, so it`s either a hand crank start or it has an alternator head with a built in starter motor.

Hi Macguyverkevin, looks like you have some serious problems, I do hope you have not fried the pistons. They are aluminium and will seize without sufficient lubrication. You are going to have to dismantle to asses the damage if it has not freed up as it cooled down.
I doubt the problem was caused by external the fuel lift pump, these are a diaphragm pump and if the diaphragm perforates they do not pump any fuel and the generator would not start but check it anyway.
Much more likely to be an internal fuel leak, if you remove the crankcase door you will be able to see the three fuel injector pumps. Each pump has a banjo bolt connected to the low pressure fuel inlet pipe, check each of these for leaks. Each pump has a high pressure pipe coming out of the top, check each of these for leaks.
Remove the three rocker covers, you will now be able to see the fuel injectors, each of these has a high pressure fuel pipe connected to it. check these for leaks.
Let us know what you find, good luck.

Hi Jase, yes there where a lot of different SOM control panels. The very early units had selenium rectifiers/diodes/capacitors and large mechanical relays, as technology improved Lister started using printed circuit boards and modern silicon compomponents. Please post a couple of photos of what you have so we can give an assessment of their suitability. It would also be useful to have some idea of what you are trying to achieve.

Hi Guys, I would be expecting to find resistances of between 2 and 20 ohms. The diodes should have zero ohms in one direction and megaohms in the other, most diodes have a white or silver band around them at the negative end.
You need to flash the field winding/windings to recreate an electromagnet field/fields. I generally use a 12 volt car battery for this. I would recommend having a look on YouTube before attempting this, try to find a generator that has the same configuration as yours and then follow their instructions. It is also possible to re-energise a generator by using an electric drill or angle grinder, start the generator, plug in the power tool, pull the trigger and manually rotate the chuck in the correct direction. If you are lucky this will produce enough of a back EMF to allow generation to ramp up.
Let us know how you go.
