need help identifying what kind of "Lister" engine I have please!!!

[thoralin]

I have a wierd variant of a "Lister CS".  It was made in England.  All it says on it is "PEK".  It had one flywheel, with an extended shaft that is held in place with another bearing mount after the flywheel.  It can run on gasoline OR diesel as it has a magneto and sparkplug factory installed.  Along with a fuel injector and pressure pump for diesel.  It has an exhaust spring compression adjustment lever, and POSSIBLY and diesel commpression valve changeover.....not too sure though.  It looks to be a 6/1.
 
I can't find any information about it.
 
I plan on trying to start it this weekend.

Any ideas  





Here's the diesel pump, governor and magneto:

That is about the weirdest thing I've ever seen, what in the world is the tubular assembly that sticks inside the flywheel?

The piping could be for a clutch/brake assy I saw something like that on a 40ft dragger boat in Rhode Island in the 50's the engine was a lister blackstone.

My apologies Gentlemen.

I should have mention that the pipes coming out of the flywheel are (believed) to be for water cooling the drum. The engine from my understanding was used as a test engine for differnt fuels. The load was friction on the flywheel. To cool it they dripped water in the drum and it spun around and was thrown into the larger pipe and back into the tank.

The prevoius owner recently passed away unfortuneatley.

Any idea who made this engine?

Greetings Thoralin,

No idea on the maker, but I'd also post your pics on the SmokStak forum.  They have more members and you might get more info there.

If you ever decide to sell that engine, please let me know.  I'd LOVE to own that!

Very cool!

Best,

Steve

Hi Steve.

Just got the darn thing and u already want me to sell it?!?  Not yet.

I put a description and pics on smokestak.

I think some of the old(er) generation will be needed for this one.

Thanks for the interest.

Whats all the tar paper for? Got a re roof coming up?

[thoralin]

hey Fab,

it's for my brothers roofing buisness.  Good eye though!

Any idea's on the engine? I was told it might be a Sirrone, Pelapone, or National

Does this narrow things down at all?

thanks.

The Pelapone name might just match up with PEK but I have zero knowledge of these... ask me about Lister and we're good to go!

Peter from UK stationary engine and Smokstak figures its a National DSSH.

It is a National based on it's engine design, but am unsure to which exact model yet.

I'll see if there are any more markings or names hidden somewhere.

Thanks to all who have helped me thus far.
