Hi Jim

It's not "slightly loose flywheels", but quoting Butch (aka 38AC) a Guru of stactionary engines, in reply #180 (https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8320.msg100707#msg100707), it says, and I agree, was only slight corrosion.

I think that a loose fly will unbalance the engine, in the way you will notice emediatly.

Sizes where ok and I refit flys perfectly.

Be carfull of "a well tightned gib key" because gib is made of very soft steel, in fact gib are a mechanical fuse in order to shear if something suddnely get stuck (normaly pulley), and must be tapped with the right force - about this issue read Peter Forbes (aka Listerdiesel in LEF): http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/Articles/rrchapt6.htm

A few days ago (befor finish the 12/2) I read (I think was Utterpower) about best way to fit flys, and I did like this:
1 - A good clean of shaft.
2 - put some baby powder (yes, baby powder) in the shaft and push flys along.
3 - I left 1/4" (in fact 5mm) as 38AC advized, between outside face of the bearing housing and face of fly (put a 5mm steel rod in gap).
4 - snug gib key, and after a good tap in a long rod of brass with a mallet, to not damage gib.

I think Listers don't need any stuff like loctite - Lister are pure mechanic.

Cheers

Hi Gentles

Today being a holy day (Feast of the Immaculate Conception), the village parish made the traditional Christmas lunch. "Mutton meat a la Bajouquense", a party day not to be missed.

Some photos for those who appreciate "these holy days" ...

Have a good week.

Resurrection of a Lister 12/2 - The 2 cylinders running
« Reply #263 on: December 19, 2019, 11:54:05 PM »
Hi Gentles

I managed to launch both cylinders, and I realised nº 2 is running cold, so I got to twik the IP rod in the linkage.

See here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s-6O1MX5TDvZKIV8QO6mj2YvSNfWrKRg

A small vid. Don't mind the vernacular language. it's normal.

Cheers

Hi Gentles

After much argument with brand representative, today came the answer that the locknut has arrived, but also had the solution in sight...

Re: Resurrection of a Lister 12/2 - Relieve stress
« Reply #267 on: January 10, 2020, 07:40:40 PM »
Hi Gentles

Winter goes calm, the project of projects is finished (only the cooling tank and the proper kart are missing).

A few more occasional repairs: to another electric pump, give the old man's compressor a good overhaul, restore (if it can be) a dynastarter.

There is also a half-stopped project, let's see it gets somewhere, or just for scrap - for now it only spents my time, some oil retainers, a few ball bearings and special screws. At least I made a new tool for putting valve collets.

A few pics maybe give a better idea.

Cheers
