Lister TS2 slow to shut off.

(1/2) > >>

smokey1:
I have a 1980's Lister TS2 mated to a Dyna generator head that was removed from an old light tower. It has needed some tlc to keep it going but recently it started this new problem.

After it has been running for a while, when I de-energize the run solenoid, the engine shuts down but it sounds like it wants to restart by stuttering a few times.

It does stop but this is a new problem for me. I know that the fuel pumps should be disabled when in the stop position but I don't know why or how some fuel is still intermittently getting to the cylinders. Can anyone shed some light  on this problem?

Thank you

dkmc:
Dirt in the fuel or failing seal on the fuel solenoid?

AdeV:
Is the fuel rack being fully closed when the engine is shutting down? If it's open just a hair, it could explain the desire to run on...

The stop lever seems to go all the way to the off position and the fuel is clean. I don't know about a failing seal in the fuel solenoid, this is an external electrical device that moves the stop lever to run and back to stop.

Keep a close check on your crankcase oil level.   If you are getting oil past the rings, it might be trying to run on that !!
