Petteroids / Adding a Petter A1 to collection - Just because! Fuel line done
« on: December 10, 2025, 07:37:29 PM »
Gentles,

In order to make a decent fuel line from tank to filter ordered (from china, off course!) some 6mm copper tube with 1,5mm thickness.

2 brass welding and voilá!

Raising the fuel tank ends up to be a very nice fit.

A pair of pics to the show.

Petteroids / Adding a Petter A1 to collection - Just because! Last bits
« on: November 29, 2025, 08:26:27 PM »
Gentles,

The A1 is almost complete.

Been tinkering the fuel fittings, and working to save copper tubing as much I can.

The "after market fuel tank" tap is below fuel filter intake - I know it can stay as is, working as siphon system, but I'd rather prefer gravity plumbing.

In this way I got to correct the position of fuel tank bracket by raising it 55mm. So I got to bend the up side and add an extension to the side (pillar).

The magneto guard is also finished, and I think it will be the last bit to put on, or maybe not, so people can see the magneto.

A few pics to the show.

Cheers

Alex, one of two! add shims or file (special knife) the shells. (https://www.youtube.com/@VintageMachinery) to see how!

You can put blue marker (https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=10036.msg113272#msg113272) to see wehre are the excess of babbit.

You have a rajkot bushes, not NOS Lister OEM? Is that correct?

Already sent you the torque chart of Peter Forbes (RIP) but, here is  (attached) more info I got saved from their page.

Dindt got specs for center bush torque, but general knowledge leads a free movement without stiff and inside tolerance. I think!!

My 5 cents for today!

Cheers

Alex, the "0s" are correct, but they are facing outside, hence I made inside marks. Take look: https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8320.msg102265#msg102265

After that is straight forward.

Stay tuned!

Cheers.

Petteroids / Adding a Petter A1 to collection - Just because! Fired up
« on: November 15, 2025, 04:30:27 PM »
Gentles,

The A1 is running! At 1st crank turn.

Final tweaks will take later time, but it ended to be a nice restore.

The old syringe took place as trial fuel tank as before.

A few pics to the show and the link to vid: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sq9BTHvAK2tImd4bBnsd5Dxh1dqOrf0M/view?usp=sharing

PS: Its a drunk engine 60ml of petrol gives less than 3 minutes of run.
PS2: After running the head nuts were loose, gotta snug them... again.

Petteroids / Adding a Petter A1 to collection - Just because! Mag is on place

Postman bring pack from States - at gold price off course!

Fortently my mistake in order (order points and condenser to AH insted to A, pics and price were same and only after paying saw the glitch.

Glad they are the same (to many models). They sent a nice package, with all instructions and so!

Things in place, and the mag attached, tweaked the fly to the closest point of spark. Lets see if all come together.

3 pics to the show.

« on: November 14, 2025, 10:26:46 AM »
Gentles,

The A1 is almost ready. Put it on the fancy kart and it looks nice.

Waiting for points and condenser from USA.

Needs to make fancy caps for petrol and kerosene tanks, and copper fuel line.

Put a fancy chinese air filter.

A few pics to showoff.

Cheers

PS: that spirit level is a nice touch, isnt it?

Petteroids / Adding a Petter A1 to collection - Just because! One setback
« on: November 02, 2025, 11:07:42 PM »
Gentles,

Things are going... again, but one more setback shows in.

Mag condenser gone to south. Search here, search there... all at gold price. Ended to order points and condenser from ebay. price exceeds the engine deal.

Meanwhile manage to make the handle extension that will have a fancy hand grip.

One pic to showoff.

Alex, please dont wanna be "GLORT" a person kicked out of the forum, for arsing forum members. And PeteDV is not helping!

Just clean up all as good as you can. You are in the right way, but dont be anxious.

We still have some gurus here - but some of them pass away with covid, and others are to old to type or see tiny letters on display - so go easy.

DONT PUT SODIUM ON LISTARD! forget sodium. clean jackets with jetwash, and after clean bores and put wd40 till being mounted.

For me so far so good. clearances and torque will be paramount.

Just my 5 cents for today.

Cheers
VP
