biodiesel, woodgas (Synfuel), methane/natural gas will all run these handy little motors. Unfotunately they are illegal to import into the USA I understand something about emissions? The muffler is fixable just run it into your biodiesel algae tank and let it buble the co2 thru your biodiesel source.........
this diesel engine is a type with precombustion chamber. The manufacturer says for Diesel oil only. But lots of people use vegetable oil from rape. Start and stop with Diesel and the warm engine runs with vegetable oil. You can save a lot of CO2.
Import is illegal into the USA? It´s a shame. What about free global trade?
We in Germany can buy those engines from India. If you built CHP on a commercial way, you could have problems with emissions, perhaps.
@dm8mm They only recently became illegal, last 10-15 years, I remember one used to power a water pump when I was a kid. I found you video when looking thru wood gas (syn) fueled setups. I guess the precombustion on your would make alternate fueling a problem........
ja, der Motor hat eine Wirbelkammer. Der Motor ist ja ein Nachbau des Lister CS. CS steht für: Cold Start. Der Motor war damals der Renner, weil er wirklich in der Kälte sofort ansprang, ohne Lötlampen oder Zündfix. Der Trick ist, das Volumen und damit auch die Form der Wirbelkammer zum Starten zu verändern. Statt der Verstellmöglichkeit befindet sich an der Stelle im Zylinderkopf ein Stopfen. Bei Kälte springt der Motor sofort an. Pflanzenöltauglich: ja andere machen das auch
search the web for TOPLAND DIESEL and you will find the manufacturer. Here in Germany the price shipping via Hamburg Harbour is approx. 1000 Euros without tax. For 1000 Euros you get just 700 pounds of Heavy Metal. Not so bad, and the sound is for free :-)
@dm8mm Coleman Powermate with a Tecumseh 10HP, got rid of it awhiles back. Loud is an understatement. There's muffler upgrades sure....but it just sounds like the whole engines making noise.
Nice Listeroid. You are lucky... Your Jib keys are nice and heavy and they stick out far enough to get a puller on them. The acoustics in your garage give the diesel ignition sound (the soft knock) a beautiful tone. My Metro 6\1 came new from India with a "bent" rod (it must have been made that way - I can't see how it would bend during the test run) . I'm going to mount the Listeroid to a big concrete block and run a generator with it. Thank You for sharing - great video!!
...sorry with your Metro engine. And 10000 Miles away from India. You know in India are a dozens of Listeroid manufacturers. Wrong manufacturer? Mr. Wichern in Germany made tests with Lister CS clones from different indian manufacturers over the years. And Topland is actually the best. I choosed the most conservative version of that engine: lowest power on lowest RPM, plunger pump, bush bearing, and the piston is of pure steel! Conditions for a long life.
I hope in the beginning of 2011 I can post a video of my new Slow Speed Diesel Engine with 3400 ccm engine displacement. Compared with 1,4 liters here. Single cylinder!, 600 1/min and 10 kW with my generator.
A bit more close to "Das Boot" ...we must wait ;-)
@dm8mm Don't You know the movie "Das Boot" by Wolfgang Petersen 1981?
The scene, while Johan (chief machinist) does listen to his diesel with a kind of stethoscope? That sounds exact like your big 1 cylinder.
3400ccm? also 1 cylinder? Woow! I'll like to see that!! I love slow ruming machines! Bigest one I've ever seen was a big Lanz Bulldog (about 10'000cc, 1 cylinder!!) which does smoke rings. That was so amazing!!
you are half way right! We are lazy and start the engine with that "electric motor". If all is allright, we only have to give full throttle and the motor becomes a generator!
Thats the trick with those asynchronous motors. As a motor is has 1460 1/min as generator 1540 1/min. Approx. in that case.
Is that a Fuking motor?

1. Laufen die auch mit anderem Triebstoff wie Pflanzenöl?
2. Was kostet so ein Teil und wo bekommt man so nen Generator her?

Du musst mal meine alten Kommentare lesen, da steht alles zu den Fragen schon drin!
Kurz:
Ja, dieser spezielle Lister (Topland) läuft auch mit Pflanzenöl.
Der Importeur ist Herr Wichern, Querenhorst, Preis war 1000 Euro netto frei Hamburg Hafen.
Noch weitere Fragen?

Please make a 10 minute video of this engine running - happiness!! :-))))

I sold the engine a few months ago to a person who will drive a circular saw with it.
With the two flywheels this is also a good application.
So, what can I do for you?
Since yesterday I am the proud owner of a big 3,4 liter single cylinder Diesel engine. You can find a first video here on my channel.
The 3,4 liter engine @ 460 RPM and full load on a video? I am also curious for the sound ;-)

Looks like an electric motor turning the Listeroid,
instead of the other way round.

That runs great! Sounds just as good as the Lister original!
I wouldn't run it for too long on load without a propper cooling tank though.
