I know what you mean/ it only takes one time and you learn how to discharge it/ I still have a scar from my first mistake/  for size that is one of the strongest magnets and especially for the price/sid

just a thought on putting magnets in the sump//good idea. but you need the magnets first and good magnets are are bonus around the shop.I have them stuck on every thing. I can not work on anything unless I drop small items on the floor or worse in the grass.so a good source of magnets ( free) in that old junk microwave oven.I even pick them up off the street. especilly the small ones that are easy to get in the truck.  if you take the microwave apart you will find 2 very strong roung magnets.but the  only down side is they are in the mag. tube. and do not come out on their own.. you have to put the mag in a vice and tear it open. which usually results in a few scratches and a little blood but a good pair of gloves solve that problem. now for the other warning... be sure to discharge the capicator first/ just short the 2 top terminals of the capicator with an insulated screwdriver.the newer ones are usually no problem but if you get an older one , if might still be charged. sid

just reading about oiling the rocker shaft and could not remembering oiling mine.but I checked and mine has the small grease cup on the end. just to show how many different ways they can make these listers/I am sure that parts are available to change over to the small grease cup.it would be a simple change and would save oiling.  on a daily basis/my engine is 6 years old so I guss they dropped the grease cup to save a few pennies/a nickel here and there and pretty soon you have a quarter.

just a few words on the 3 hp mini petter/ hotater is correct on the alignment of the governor arm/ it has to be correct and not binding/ I have 3 petters and the difference in them is amazing. I have 2 of the 3 hp and 1 of the 5 hp/one 3 hp and the 5 hp are made by one co. and work flawless but the other 3 hp petter is made by another co.and is almost a danger to be around/ I would never run it around people or with the air cleaner on. the first time one of these run away.. you know what fear is. you can not stop a diesel buy turning the switch off.that is the reason i run it with the air cleaner off and a rag to stuff in the air intake.. everything on it either leaks or falls off/ the fuel line are a joke/ that braided surface only hides the problems/grind those things off and get a new hose for it/ the other 2 petters are made by g.g. gear of bombay and are a pleasure too run/ nothing leaks or falls off and start the first time and will run all day/but I will keep the other one for spare parts.I could never sell something that dangerious to some one/ also I have an 8 hp lister also by gg gear/believe it or not I have it mounted on a 5by 10 trailer and I am able to run it and with out too much bounce. after it gets warm, it will purr all day ,the only work it does is pull a corn mill at times/..but it is a pleasue to run/I have had it 6 years and have done very little to it..just the usual bad fuel tank/but it was easy to correct//. I guss it would be a lot different it I had to depend on it 18 hours a day for power. now I only use mine for fun.. still love to hear them run.
