Project aside Lister 12/2 - Dynastater disaster striked
« Reply #331 on: July 24, 2021, 10:15:25 PM »
Hi Gentles

Remember I had a restoration aside Lister 12/2 - a Penta 6A, 1971? And the dynastarter was refurbished? (see here: https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8320.msg104124#msg104124)

After put it on the engine, all working good, dynastarter firing the engine nicely... after tuning idle rpm, and max rpm, it never started again with the dynastarter.

Tried another battery to see if the issue was from there.... and nothing. Thamn, maybe the dyna have some issue, I think.

All disassembled and... thamn, dynastarter is busted. Worst, rotor had windings destroid. Thamn!

Lesson learned: a few meters of nylon twine in the front copper coils had prevent the disaster. (Think was the full throttle that put centrifugal force in coils, and they just open to the side, and destroy all thing)

A few pics to show the disaster...

And now I have to rebuild it all! All windings.

Take all coils from rotor, search for new ones (or someone who make them), counting turns, make a jig to wind new ones, etc, etc

Hi Gentles

Looking around I find a shop that can make hairpin coils, but.... (allways a but) they dont have 3*1mm flat copper wire, they need at least one old hairpin sample (all busted now!) to make the jig... and if (onother thamn word) I find correct copper wire they will charge... 125€+vat for labour.

In other hand found this retailer in Germany (https://www.simon-auto-shop.de/epages/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen/Products/AN9098), with new armature, and costs 59,5€+P&P. So Im gone order a new one!

And found at same retailer voltage regulator (https://www.simon-auto-shop.de/epages/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen/Products/RE1065N).

Will see how to manage it.

Cheers

you might try romaine electric in seattle, the may have a rebuild armature
or at the very least they can have yours rewound, or even provide you with coils.

they are great folks to work with, and they seem to come up with a part for all sorts of stuff from all
over the world.

phone number 425-264-1700 and they are located in kent washington
i know they work with folks form all over the world, and are a pleasure to work with.

also fwiw, a few years back they bought out a rewind shop in southern california, and the women they have doing the rewinds/coils are excellent and the prices are very good.

if you have  a serial number off the case, they can identify the unit and get you a price while you wait in 99% of cases.

did business with those folks for years, and i have never found another company to match their experience, service, or price.

fwiw

Hi Bob

Thanks for your support, but...Im in the other side of Atlantic Ocean.

Customs here (and there too) has a tiny hole net to catch and tax from abroad stuff, and are 24/7 aiming to shot at anything that cross the ocean.

Take a look at the price my keystock arrived from USA (https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8320.msg102563#msg102563)

Postage is very expensive! labour is expensive.

Already ordered new rotor, and voltage regualtor.

Project aside Lister 12/2 - Dynastater disaster - New armature, new bust
« Reply #336 on: August 14, 2021, 12:25:31 AM »
Hi Gentles

there's nothing wrong that can't get worse! (people sayings)

New armature arrived, and... Its only 60mm diameter (original 68mm), longer than original, and commutater thiner and less segments. THAMN!! (second disaster)

I think i'll have to send it to Pakistan to get fixed. (where craftmen, masters is the word, still exist)

DOUBLE DAMN!!

More money to south!

Another pearl found - a 6/1
« Reply #338 on: September 25, 2021, 07:07:28 PM »
Hi Gentles

Im looking forward to be retired (just joking), but i'm expecting to have more time to dive deep in villages and found lost pearls like the one I found. Another 6/1 of olive oil plant.

The (ancient and wealthy years ago) state still has in front door a royal shield.

DIGGING HISTORY IN MONUMENTS
« Reply #341 on: February 11, 2022, 10:15:32 PM »
Hi Gentles

For us (I mean all members... ok, some enthusiasts too) have itches and scratches eveytime we see some old rust, scale rust, all sort of rust. You all know what I mean!

A few days ago a I was told we (dont ask, dont tell) have a warehouse in an old fortress, where had been there a power plant in the old times.

The stand of the engine (see pic) was something not strange to my eyes, but mesures are out of my knowlege range.

Take a close look to give a help, because plate states CS engine (10/2 or 12/2) but my tape say it doesnt match to CS 10/2 fixing centres (56cm*38cm).

Here are a few pics to joy (stand, daily fuel tank, rusty plate and door key to fortress  ;D ;D ;D, and revealed plate) and give your thoughts. Please.

Is this a CS (10/2 ~ 12/2) 1951???

Stay safe.
Cheers
VP

Ps: I love that door key!!

DIGGING HISTORY IN MONUMENTS - wrong approach
« Reply #343 on: February 18, 2022, 01:41:27 AM »
Gentles

My very deep apologies, because my wrong approuch to engine stand.

removing more rust scale, I could found fixing centres that can lead to other approach. So, previous centres I think they are for alternator, and now I found 60*30cm holes.

Anyone can say if this centres are from a CS (10/2 - 12/2) or  JP engine?

2 pics for the rant.

PRESERVE HISTORY

Hi Gentles

If all has gone, at least the last link to history will be preserved.

And to do that a frame will do it nicely in my living room, or my office. Do you agree?
