Generators / 4.5kva output
« on: October 10, 2018, 10:59:42 PM »
what is the safe kw out put for a 4.5kva 230volt bkb generator on a Lister CS8/1 could I pull 4.2kw without doing damage? the power is being used into storage heaters and a immersion water heater on motors are used.

what would you say the maximim amps for the 4.5kva alternator as not to overload it?

Original Lister Cs Engines / Big end
« on: October 03, 2018, 11:48:29 PM »
I am having to renew the Big end shells on my Lister CS 8/1 because of a knock I put a length of thin soft solder all the way round the crankpin nipped up tight this measured 7 thousand all the way round this would be 14 thousand of slap! wouldn't it?
The worn crankpin measures 2.496850 at one side and 2.496063 at the other. it doesn't seem to be oval.
Do you think that this size would be permissible?

Original Lister Cs Engines / electric meter
« on: September 23, 2018, 06:11:46 PM »
hi can anyone help. I have a Lister start-o-matic I installed a old type electric meter ( the type with the rotateng round disk) to keep track of how many units the were produced and used by punting electric into a storage heater

the problem is that when the meter is connected the auto start fires up the generator even if there no load switched on.

what type of digital meter is suitable I need sump-thing that will record and keep the total units used for years even when there is on power being used.

Listeroid Engines / 24 volt

HI, I am new to this and I am in need of help. I have been doing up a Lister cs 8/1 I have got her running by the way of a lot of new parts. my problem is that the BKB alternator only will put out 1.4 volt at the terminals at the box on top of the alternator I have not connected any battery's to it yet. the 230 Volt out put seems OK although it is 227-228 at 850 RPM with 3 kw load.
