Sorry to drag up an old thre and but this sounds very similar to the issue I have now. What was the fix in the end that got it going?

Engines / Lister D won't start
« on: October 29, 2023, 04:07:48 PM »
Hi all, new to lister engines and need some help please.
I have a lister D that I bought after it lying idle for years, 1961 DH 2hp 700rpm, most likely from a cement mixer. Float was mangled and bowl very dirty so I cleaned card and filled the bowl with fuel and managed to get it to run briefly until fuel ran out. But since then it won't fire for me. It's getting fuel, timed as per Google instructions with a new plug and good spark, compression is ok but it just won't fire for me. Is there something I could have setup wrong?
All help welcome.
Timed to the ignition mark on flywheel with a WICO series A if that makes a difference. Flywheel and engine are matching numbers so I'm pretty confident it was left idle since the mixer was retired and not been pulled apart before
