Hello, Sorry I have no information regarding lister engines. Good luck.

It might have very worn out piston rings and but low compression. But it is very easy to start. Sold this gen-set 2 years ago. (Was going to fix gen but divorce got in the way)

[mrstuart143]

low compression or what.

[rsambrook]

never tested compression, but high enough to start from cold@mrstuart143

[rsambrook]

I think it was 3kva. I sold it last year.

got an air filter or did u just take it off for starting it

[g7txu]

@diymania there's normally a blanking plate there when it was not factory fitted

[g7txu]

I had a similar but I believe later one. The emblem on the top was the only difference, but this was 20 years ago so I may be wrong. Good to hear that sound again. It used to be used in many cement mixers of the time too.

Did you not use the decompressor to start? had to every time when it was cold

[rsambrook]

@g7txu

de-compressor level is missing,
