Lister Based Generators / Re: 1925 Lister 2T and Generator

Is it a 2 part paint that requires an activator/hardener? I have used urethane paint a couple of times and it comes like that but with the hardener in a second can. When added together it ends up being a gallon. Sounds like they may have forgotten to send you the activator.

Engines / Re: FR2... going to try to start it. Advice?

I suggest you replace the fuel filter now b efore you startputting new fuel through. Yes, you do need to bled the system at every point along the fuel lines. Once confirmed it starts run it slowly so to give it time to warm up then increase the revs a little bit but not flog it.
Then do all the rest of the fluids in the engine, oils and coolant and filters. These are tough engines and with a bit of care now will outlast the rebuilt genset again.

Engines / FR2... going to try to start it. Advice?
« Last post by clunker on March 07, 2024, 06:37:25 PM »
FR2 that was used as a generator came with the property I bought.
The generator is disconnected and needs to be re-wound, but I believe the engine was ok. Hasn't been touched for 7-8 years. I don't have much experience with diesels...

-Hooked up a battery and gave it a bump, it moved
-Drained oil and old diesel
-Fuel filter seems clean
-Radiator is still full

Diesel tank is gravity fed... I assume I just loosen the bolt on top of filter until fuel comes out. Is it necessary to bleed where the lines go into the cylinder heads?

So after re-filling oil and diesel, handles up, lever to the right, and crank?

Lister Based Generators / Help Needed on a lister brush set (wiring diag E1184855)
« Last post by Ernie on March 07, 2024, 03:34:41 PM »
I have a lister 2 cil Lister diesel engine and a Brush A.C. Generator for over 20 years. In the past the set was mounted on a trailer, they needed the trailer, i got the set. Informaton on the generator:
Frame SCTF 225 voltage range 380/220  and conn. Diag. E1184855 50 HZ and 1500 r.p.m.  I am looking for wireing diagram of the generator.  It has a 12 volt battery supply.
It looks like the SCTF 320, same conn. Diag but the 320 needs 24V.

The set is still working, i need the wirering diagram to see if it is posible to mound a modern AVR unit. There is no automatic start system, it was designed to start manual.
If someone have a copy of the diagram please mail it to me. (I dit a google seach and a seach on this forum no results)

Maybe it is possible to adjust the voltage from 220V to 230 and 380 to 400V.

Regards Ernie (Netherlands)

38ac, I've never said it, but I just read about it!   
Sounds like a lot of work on something that is almost bullet proof and would take a slight out of balance issue and laugh at it.
Look forward to hearing about how it runs and hope you haven't wasted a lot of swear words for nought.

Engines / Re: which engine oil for the lister D
« Last post by cobbadog on March 07, 2024, 10:13:28 AM »
Not sure of quantity for your engine. It will either have a dip stick in the filler hole or a flat section just below the opening. Do a Google search for a manual for your engine, it is surprising what can turn up for free. Sorry that I cant offer any more than that but other members will log in and be ab le to help more than me.
I only have 1 Lister, a CD 8Hp tropical model and it has a dry sump set up

Who says you can't polish a turd,LOL :D

Those oversize twins have a lot of continued issues. I tell everyone who brings one here to keep the RPMs low and output 16HP or less.

I tend to go beyond the original, but not too far.

Very Nice! I have been on the lookout for a Kohler light plant for years. They just never seem to pop up on the East Coast. I would love to find one of the 1200-1500 watt units with the OHV engine.

Awesome find on the paint too! Thanks for the info. I'm sure that will make a lot of people happy.
