What's my Lister?
« on: April 09, 2007, 11:59:13 AM »
Can you assist me in identifying my Lister? I think it is around mid 1950's and on the plate attached it states, 3.5 hp, 1,800 rpm, serial 1820LD17. It starts with a hand crank and compression lever (cold start I think). It runs a 32 Volt generator and I would like to know more so I can maintain and recondition it when required. Thanks.

According to your serial number it's an LD model motor, single cylinder, CW rotation, serial number 1820, made in 1957.

cheers

Thanks very much John. This will assist me in the other challenge of why the engine stops when hot.
