Listeroid Engines / Flywheel energy
« on: September 29, 2021, 01:34:01 AM »
This was an interesting video of someone who added a flywheel to their listeroid 6/1. He’s claiming he can pull a 15kva load, not sure about that but I wonder if this would help with the pulsing on a one lung?

Well gents I’m on the re-assembly path and have come to the point of attaching the piston rods. The first piston measured .001 with plastigage but when torqued down to 55ftlbs would not turn (I did oil them up). I added one shim to each side of the cap and still too tight, added two total to each side and it spins freely. Can you add 1 to one side and 2 to the other? My shins came in a rebuild pack that came with the engine they are about as thick as a pop can sidewall (I can measure them if that helps us come to a clear answer).

CHEERS!

Thank you 32 and 38, I losses the housing bolts and the bolt holding the center breaking, spun it a few times and tightens everything back up (spinning it between tightening each side and center) and now it turns easy. Thanks again!

So I am in the rebuild stage and am test fitting the crank shaft and cam shaft, I set the clearance on the main bushings and there is very little play in the crank back and fourth almost imperceptible. But the crank seems difficult to turn, at least more than I would imagine it should be. I’m assuming that should rotate very easily with one hand at this point (no flywheels or rods attached).

The one I ordered on fleabay said New Jersey location but no matter, you can bet that either NJ or Ca. is  drop point for an overseas shipment and they are coming directly from China.
I plan to set up a test stand and a load, probably a fan and give the thing a durability test. My guess is if it lasts 10 hours with a heavy but not full rack load  that they will run a while.  Not much metal there as compared to an L48 Yanmar that's for sure.

Hey 38ac, did your engine arrive? If so what are your thoughts?

Okay so I'm having a lot of trouble getting that cam lobe off, not giving up just a little stuck. On top of that, I noticed that the other end of the camshaft (side with the gears) has a pretty good wobble to it. What is the best practice to straighten that out? (I couldn't find a bent cam or bent camshaft thread). Thank you.

I agree great little engines. I have used this one to start my 240v well pump, and the startup watts on that is 5kw. It didn't even blink.

Thank you for the guidance and responses for the cam lobe everyone. Also, thank you 38ac for getting those exhaust valves and guides shipped to me so fast! They look great.

I decided to take the whole engine apart but have hit a small snag. The camshaft goes through a small bushing in a small casting whole on the side opposite the gears. There is a cam lobe added to that side to drive that sides fuel pump. That lobe has to be removed in order to remove the rest of the camshaft! I have hammered pretty good (4lb hammer and flat punch) to get the pin holding the last cam lobe off and no dice. Does anyone have some tips for getting a very stubborn cam lobe pin out?

Did you have to adjust the timing on the fuel pump to get it to run at that speed or were you able to do that in the factory configuration (minus the lighter spring)?

Here’s another guy that snuck an interesting gem by watching eBay listings.

Yeah I've never seen another factory built one like this before or since. I even looked on the internet for a picture of one, the only pics I found are of this one before it was restored. This price is for forum members only. It's listed for more money elsewhere online. I do have a spare EA300 engine that I think I will hang onto and build a diy gen set if I want another with this size and capacity.

That's really cool, for that price I'll probably order one up too. Are they shipping directly from china or u.s. based stock? The ones I found were 6hp and some said they were being shipped from California.
