I’ve tried and failed to find any documentation online of this Hawker Siddeley generator + Lister motor setup I recently got my hands on. One of the pictures of it in https://photos.app.goo.gl/Z1C5Uaax3wZRaGdH7 has the plant number L07993/003/PB and other details, but does anyone have any more info of this specific model? Like its name or when approximately it was built. Do any manuals or other documentation exist of these beasts?

Hi, Looking for some help. I have a DC Gen set removed from a 1964 Motor Yacht. I've overhauled the LD1 and the DC Gen but have no info on connecting the wiring between the Generator and the Switchboard. This was removed by the owner of the boat. Does anyone have a woring drawing of a DC power generation set and switchboard? All components are badged as Lister or Lister Blackstone.

Good to hear from you sirpedrosa.

in 8 hours of running it has added 5 liters of diesel to the oil, that is too much in my opinion ?
I will order new fuel pump elements from S.E.P.

Funny you talk of a new water pump, i was looking at them today. but i have been advised not to increase the pump as the extra pressure, (it pushes water 250 meters and up 30 meter high), it could break the pipes underground .... i dont need more problems

hope all is well with you.

hello all and to Sirpedrosa.

Yes it has been some time since my last post. I hope everyone is well.

 My trip to the UK ended being almost 5 months long.
I ended up finishing a 1954 Bentley R type and restoring the veneer woodwork on the interior but kept me there far too long.
I returned 3 weeks ago, right on the start of fire season.
So i have bought a new fire fighting water pump and a professional fire nozzle, this meant a lot of new plumbing work to get new pump to connect to water tanks etc and i have also covered our goat barns with water sprinklers so they will be safe during a fire.

Back to the Lister..

So i was working like crazy to get the Lister finished before leaving for the UK and only had time to run it once, started great and ran much better, the 120,000 liter tank filled quicker than ever, filling it in 3hrs20mins.

it had new oil, 15w40 but i will have to check later when down at the pump. oil filled to about 10-15mm below oil filler hole.

While i was away my son in law had started the Lister with no issues,
so since the rebuild it has been run 3 times with a total of 8 hours in 2.5 - 3.5 hour sessions.

Today i went to check the Lister for the first time since my return.......... and im now worried !!!

I found the fuel injection pump (opposite end from governor) was very wet with diesel and also on the floor.
I opened the sump and it is VERY overfull, with diesel

Now i am worried i will have destroyed all my work and the new bearings

Here is a video i have just taken, sump was over full by 5litres of diesel

Here is a short video of its first run after the work. https://youtu.be/_LCV5uf_DdI

Just to add the sump never filled up this much before, i think cleaning the injector pump has made the leak worse and cleaning the grease away has allowed, I think, diesel to run down the side of the tappet and directly into the sump as the lower part of injection pump around tappet hold diesel.

To add to my luck my truck broke the cambelt last week.. and as fire defense is more important i am having to rely on friends for a lift to buy supplies.... My large tank is almost out of water so i will have to fill Lister with new oil to run it until i can get some new injector pump elements sent over.

Cheers
