Straight Vegetable Oil / injector
« on: March 28, 2020, 02:34:41 PM »
Has anyone increased the pop pressure of the injector on a Lister cs 8/1 running on WVO or is this not a good idea?

I am running on wvo only The engine and 1200 litres oil are in the same building its well insulated so the temperature is around 35*c summer and winter I do not thin the oil other than the temperature of the building the engine runs for 14 hours a day with 1 hour gaps as all the heat goes into storage heaters.
I am just looking to get the original 1959 Lister CS 8/1 to run to its most efficient?

has anyone tried this method of timing?
is this the same as the spill method and is the first spot of fuel on the flywheel meant to line up with the zigzag injector mark on the flywheel. for veg oil another 5*
What do any of you think?

Is this a good way to set the pump timing? ( see the youtube video) It looks very good to me.
how far advanced do you recommend for running a Lister cs 8/1 on straight veg oil?

Is there any of the governor linkage or anything else inside the governor case that has to be disconnected before I attempt to remove the case. this explanation may be helpful to anyone else that has the same problem.

thanks for the advice, This is a genuine 8/1. Is there enough room to get it out over the cam shaft and governor? or do you have to release the cam shaft at the Double v flywheel end as well.

I have tried to remove the key from the flywheel. I have had heat on the flywheel but not to much as I don't want to damage the seal at the crank shaft. I have made a puller for the key but it wont budge. for the moment I am having to live with the oil leak.
any suggestions?

Hi bob
I have taken of the oil pump and was going to pull down the plunger above the oil pump to renew the seal the one with the flat plate on the bottom, the one marked number 5 on the pump diagram.
Is there something that holds it in because it only drops down 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch then solid! Is there a retaining screw or do you just use more fores.
I have a new plunger on order it should be here on Saturday so need to get the worn one out to renew it and the seal I am also giving the oil pump an over-hall withe a new parts kit.

can anyone tell me if it is possible to renew the two oil seals on a Lister CS8-1. one located above the oil pump (on the engine) and the other below the injector pump, without having to remove the flywheel and the housing over the governor.
is the oil seal pressed in from the out side or the inside of the housing.
