JK6 Governor ???

[dieselgman]

Anyone know of whereabouts for some governor parts for Lister JK6? ... preferably in the U.K.

Eng no 38JK6R17               1500 RPM            90HP
Alt no 307430     type RF19AK/6  CRPO     70kVA/66kW 0.8pf

I believe the owner is seeking the entire governor assembly.

Many Thanks!

Is it anything like a JP4 governor?

I am hoping for someone with some experience on this model ... We have not yet searched out the parts listings.

The JK6 engine was never produced in vast numbers, so the more unusual spares will always be tricky to locate, the best chance of finding these parts in the UK would be Sleeman and Hawken.

From speaking with a retired Lister Petter service engineer (who at one time worked on the JK6 assembly line). He is of the opinion that there is no commonality between the JK6 and JP4 engines in this respect.

From the same source, I may be able to get access to a JK6 workshop manual (if he can find it). Hence if the owner is able to expand on what they need, I could at least quote some part numbers for reference purposes.

Thanks Listard!

Sleeman it will be for continuing the quest!

I have had no luck with the manual, but this item has since surfaced on ebay UK, and since the JK6 is a linear development from the 616 engine, then this manual may be of interest to the JK6 owner.

We have the 616 manual here, did not know it was precursor to JK6.
