Where could I look for this technical handbook? Any name, site?

Central Georgia Generator ( in USA) sells them along with a few other ST related items such as rectifiers, slip rings etc.

Ade, I wish there was an economical way to get a 40foot container of those CS engines over here, maybe a transporter beam or something, ;D  You have been around long enough to remember the container load fiasco of 15? years ago. Gary saved it after the originators dissappeared and then got stuck with most of them due to no show "buyers"

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: Lister CD - New life, from grain thresher to show off piece. Start to tweak

Gentles,

The toy is going slowly.

Today managed to drill and tap M5 hole to put a set screw in order to prevent or stop(??) the bearing to spin inside its housing.

Remember I pulled easily the bearing?

Lets see how it goes.

This trick was - once again - one advice of my friend Mr. Pedro, from VEICOMER (https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=9555.msg111186#msg111186)

A pic to showoff.

Cheers
VP

PS: image without properties still rotate.

AdeV, Gentles

Many thanks for your time, and stubbornness (bien entendu!).

The catch is: Before was all ok! why change what was ok? (nº 1 rule of computer science engineering - my humble degree).

But, I can see you are at Linux (was there 20 years ago), so Ill follow your lead. 1st rule here is to share good info with our forum members.

Keep the good work! Covid took us a few Master minds of stationary engines.

Cheers
VP

AdeV,

Indeed!

But there some pics (above) that the thumbnail now is horizontal because I edited the image and rotated it -90º, and so when you click it the resize will show it as I intended to be seen.

I mean I cheated the resize tool in order the pic be shown "right".

See below pic showed with the hint on original, and after in the one edited.

Cheers

Hey VP - apologies, I didn't reply to you (been v. busy...)

I think, in order for the thumbnail/main image to display in the same orientation regardless of how you rotate it, you need to make sure you save it without any EXIF data. The EXIF data (which most image editors preserve) tells the display device what orientation the camera was in when you took the photo. So where you've rotated the image, the display device (computer) sees that the EXIF data says "rotate 90", and it rotates it... and now it's "wrong". Equally, I'm not sure that the software that generates the thumbnails for the site honours the EXIF data (I'd actually be surprised if it did), which would explain why the thumbnail is portrait but the image is landscape, or vice versa...

All I can suggest is, when you modify a photo for the site; find & de-select the option to save EXIF data. e.g. for gIMP (the defacto standard Linux image editor), when you export a file, the options dialog that pops up has "Save EXIF data" checked by default - un-check it and the photo will appear how YOU want it, and not how the computer thinks it should be.

I don't know about the US - but interest in the old Lister plodders in the UK has dwindled too - engines don't come up very often, and they tend to sell at sub-£500 ($650ish) prices when they do come up.

Thank you very much, this information is very useful for me, as everything is put to halt. Here attached pictures as promised and, if possible, send me e-mail janis(at)cedrus.lv .

The std crankshaft journal diameter is 57.11 - 57.10 mm.
With a minimum worn diameter of 57.02 mm.
The std crankpin diameter is 53.97 - 53.96 mm.
With a  minimum worn diameter of 53.86 mm.
I would have posted the pages from the technical handbook, but for some reason the site does not allow me to post any attachments.
