[tpvalley]

[jeffrey19621]

Music to my ears Thanks for the posting.

[chuckbear1961]

Very nice engine you have. I have a Lister LR-1 wich is very simular to that one you have.

[WimpeyPlantFitter]

It was very rare a mixer would come back from site with a dip stick insted a 6in nail! "your" engine is a compact model

[pangavamanos]

Beautiful engine. To bad it's not your anymore. Bet you had fun with it while you had it.

[pangavamanos]

What sort of HP do you suppose it has? Very nice!

Thanks.

@pangavamanos Hi, this particular PAZ1 is rated 2hp at 1250rpm - other outputs were available; in this video the engine is running at closer 900rpm. It is a lovely engine and now quite hard to find in such clean and original condition, but sadly this one is no longer owned by me.

[Theoutdoorsguy1]

@enpeemac Why'd you sell it? She starts and runs GREAT!!!!

[enpeemac]

@Theoutdoorsguy1 Lack of space, sadly. When I think of all the 'stuff' I've let go over the years just to make room for more stuff - if only I could've kept it all :-(

[Theoutdoorsguy1]

@enpeemac to bad, good engine

[electronick450]

@enpeemac can you please tell me what paint it is originally

[enpeemac]

@electronick450 Most Petter engines were Mid-Brunswick Green BS 381C shade 226, later Petters could be Brilliant Green BS 381C shade 221. I believe this engine was in the later colour (looks different to my original Listers).

hey guys i just want to know that all these engines imported from india

whether its petter or lister

[05clenharth]

@shudra14 this is not an import, it is a british petter

[electronick450]

hello i have a petter paz1 and a petter aa1 i was wondering what oil to use because my petter paz1 smokes badly thanks,

nick

[enpeemac]

@electronick450 I use SAE30 monograde, but I doubt this has any bearing your engine smoking. Mine smokes a little (doesn't show on the vid) which is probably due to me never getting it up to full working temp and running it below its rated speed. If yours has run without any significant load, it could have glazed the bore. Try getting it hot and giving it a hefty load to try and break any glaze. Other issues could be a dirty injector or pump timing out for the running speed.

[electronick450]

thanks i will try the oil but do you no anything about converting old mono grade oils to multi grade because i have a petter aa1 and in the workshop manual it says 10w in winter and 20w in summer and i would like to get the modern equivalent oil

[electronick450]

@enpeemac i was wondering were to buy those rubber seals on the injector pump because mine have perished and yours look new

[enpeemac]

@electronick450 Regarding multigrade, a 15W40 would be fine. My PAZ1 had a rebuilt injector pump before I bought it, but I would assume the pump rack dust boots would be available from a diesel repair specialist. As an alternative, very similar boots are used on some automotive brake caliper designs (VW Audi). Do a google image search on "caliper guide boots" to see what I mean. You may find that your local garage may have something suitable lying around.

[electronick450]

@enpeemac thanks for being so helpful i have been looking for the rite type of oil for a long time,

[Bidone1967]

Nice Petter engine. Starts very easy.

[Mcflai]

Thx for sharing. It seems its a quiet engine, it works very well.

[Xerxesx20]

Nice little beastie.

I've a '54 Petter A1 myself but I hope to add a diesel to the engine shed soon. 8-)

[cmsch180]

runs nice and smooth, good looking engine[:

[kw1984]

You've got a great engine there Nigel. Just been re-watching all the PAZ1's. Most PAZ1's, like mine, are are in extremely poor condition. The type of condition where there being sold because they are completly shot! Maybe mine will be like that by the end of summer! (Hopefully) But you can't beat the originality of yours.

[enpeemac]

Thanks Kieran, I think I got lucky with this one - & I only paid £26! Seems to be a lot changing hands right now but at the same time they still get slated by so called engine enthusiasts - I can't work it out.

[reyeb]

That is a nice tidy engine. The fuel pump look like brand new.

[geoff390]

cant wait to get my coventry victor AD1 up and running!!!

your engine is great!

[Bevoin1970]

Blimey, it doesn't take much cranking over.

Was it already warm ?

[enpeemac]

Yes I cheated, that was a hot start!

I'll get around to making a vid of a full cold start someday.

[angamoos]

congratulations on getting the engine restored!! great engine. gives a nice exhaust note

[angamoos]

Where did you get spare parts for this engine from?

[enpeemac]

I was very lucky and only needed to replace the filters, all the internal components were within spec.

[angamoos]

blimey that was quick! mine is the opposite of that!!!

[tomterahedrob]

is this the 6.5 hp model?Im looking to buy one that looks like this.They say its a Lister Petter, weighs 173pounds.

[enpeemac]

The highest output variant of the Petter PAZ1 was 3hp (@1800rpm) and these weighs over 250lbs. I think maybe the Petter AC1 could be the engine you want, though to produce 6.5hp I would guess it'd be running at over 3000rpm.

[01DodgeRAM1500V8]

are you going to put it on anything? cool Diesel sounds sweet

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

that is the sweetest diesel engine... listen to it run like a new engine!!
