Many thanks

But... let me see if it pays my efforts.

Remember that the fuel tank still a pain in the arse... to stanch it.

Lets see how it behaves.

Cross fingers...

Ps: all tubing is copper plated... to give it some charm.

Hi Everyone

First project it's almost done!

After fine tuning the new gibkey, and tap it, it's ready to be fired up... Same modus operandi of the other one.

This one took me almost a year to rebuild.

Nothing like a pic with the before and now.

Hi Everyone

While the heads are not in order to mount again, the flywheels have come down to paint.

Actually at this time already has the primary.

It remains to do the cleaning and painting of the sump.

This weekend I was promised a few railway sleepers  to seat the Lister.

I think it will be fine on them.

Cheers

while the parts do not arrive to finish the machine ...

One more water pump (Italian) seized in repairing after 10 years of service.

A primer paint to hold on for a few more years, a pair of new bearings, lubrication, stainless steel screws, a fan harnessed from another pump and is ready to install again.

Have a good week.

Hi Jd

Do you see any inconvenience in making the manuals available in my thread here: http://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8395.msg100104#msg100104.

Hi Everyone

It's almost done! Oil piping copper plated... fancy isn't it?

Just waiting for the oil seal and new gibkey from UK, and after I'll give it the first crank.

Fuel tank still an issue to solve... but i'll make it.

Have good weekend

Hi Jordan

It's not a white line, its a refletive stripe, in order to reflect laser beam to reader.

And, yes, that digital it is fairly accurate.

Hi Bob

I'm very glad you appreciate it, just because you deserve it.

In our life, simple things, and sometime tiny,  can make a huge difference.

We all have our sins. Now I know I have one less...

By now think priorly in fully recovery of your hands...and Narelle.

Have a safe week.
Cheers

Hi Acoburn

From this site it seems to be a realy D, that somehow had been cuted in power out, or I mean fixed speed. But it's a jewel!!!

I'm also loking for D manual. In OLX.PT there is a guy listing one for 250€ (I said it must be gold plated... lack of parts, and who knows or else). I offered 100€ and he said he'd rather send it to scrap (SOB).

Take a good care of it... truly.

Hi Evereyone

Bob, don't worry about the museum... It's just some 50's madness.

I'm coming back from basement... closed crankcase, torque cylinder and head, timing and starting to straighten oil tubing.

Time to go bed.

Cheers
