I've been reading the forum for about a week or so and decided I'd post a hello. I'm your basic tinkerer with a small backyard machine/welding shop. (Mostly hobby stuff for my own enjoyment and making stuff work/run!)
I've had an interest in Listeroids for a few years now since discovering them on the internet. Fortunately, I'm in the process of moving from an urban area, (I'm in Warner Robins now) to a rural area (Schley County) and I hope to get a Listeroid genset for back-up power and just watching it run. I sort of rediscovered the Listers after doing some research on off the shelf back up generators. 3000 hours just doesn't sound that great and I'd hat to have a 3500 rpm screamer running all night and day if I really needed it. I really think a Lister would be the way to go. I'm also pretty interested in fooling with some WVO in the future.
I really enjoy looking at, and listening to, the videos of these motors on the internet!
Anyway, just wanted to say Hi.
Any pros/cons of single cylinder vs twin? I'm thinking that a single has fewer parts so there's less to crap out.
