Hi everyone,
Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place, I couldn't find anywhere else to post it.
I'm looking into buying a Lister HB2, from what I gather it's 24hp, 1855cc, 2000rpm.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find much more information than that, except that it's made between 1958 and 1969.
Are they a good engine, suitable for running a decently sized 230v 50hz AC generator? I understand that I will need to get the generator running at 3000 or 1500 rpm depending on the generator, to get 50hz. When finished I would intend to run it for backup when the power goes out, and if I have excess fuel, run it to put power onto the grid to lower my electricity bill.
How is parts availability for this model? Anything in particular I should know about? Are they direct or indirect injection?
All help and advice here is greatly appreciated, thanks.
