6/1

[mikenash]

Bought this fellow the other day and collected it this morning

Came from the estate of a chap who collected old engines and whose widow was clearing out the shed

Described as a "good runner" - might be true

Prices are funny . . .

I missed out on a not-particularly-good 3/1 a few months back that had sat in a shed and hadn't been run for 20 years - it went for $1500 to some insane person

This one I paid $600 for - which seems fair

If this is OK I should have two good runners, and two dismantled-but-probably-useable units and a bunch of spares

Apart from a set of grooved SOM wheels, I reckon I have all I need

Nice find. I'm still looking for a good CS.

What are you wanting the groovy startomatic flywheels for? You driving stuff?

Hi can anyone help. I am restoring a lister cs startomatic and I am having trouble with the electrical side
When I switch on the decommpessor sollenoid clicks out giving me compression and away it goes but several seconds later the decompressor solenoid kicks in and shuts the whole thind down. Can you help?

They're a bit heavier and should smooth out starting loads.  Yes, got a couple genset heads I'd like to drive one day

Whereabouts are you if you're looking for a CS?

Cheers

Rural Whangarei, but I do get around a bit.
