Your setup looks nice. By watching you start the Lister, I thought that your fuel rail was on while you were cranking. When I start my 16/1, I get up speed, flip the fuel rail on and release the compression release. What size is your generator head? Thanks for sharing your videos. Robert

Hi Robert,

Yes I had the fuel rail on. I was trying various things to see what worked best. Flipping the fuel on after the compression release seems to work most of the time. I have a 6.6kW generator. I'll be posting my electric starter setup soon.

i have a 1951 6/1 lister dursley startomatic plant , the difference in the running is like day and night , the old british listers are pretty smooth , also did you find any casting sand in your engine , ive heard of a few people who have ? took some cleaning and major stripdown but worth it ,

[dieselworld]

Your IP timing could be off. Is it adjustable? Can you advance it a few degrees?

Put a real hot pug in her and give it good 3min to warm up then start it.

@BOMAGBANDIT yes you are correct if all what you say all checks out ok check to see if cylinder is shimmed correct to give correct compression. it may be combination of things but i think most likely a timing err

To the Rough Running, maybe mismatch of crank and flywheels as can have a counter balanced crank OR flywheels but not both or neither

if you get to 90 doing that!

@worldvoyagers Hi, don't see the electric start video yet, you have that sorted? I saw a clip with an electric starter from a truck driving a small rubber wheel on the fly wheel, and also a small petrol engine doing the same duty, but then you may have two damn motors that give you a hard time.

Hello there Folks.... Thanks for the vidclip..... I have read up quite a bit about the 'India' made engines.... Seems like some Folks import them with bore only rough machined undersize, totally strip the engine to remove all the casting sand residue and machining swarf. Then bore and HONE TO SIZE for correct clearance. This apparently make a big difference to the compression ratio and engine life. I hope this helps.... Keep well and geetings from New Zealand

I live in England and I've heard of people starting a Lister CS just by grasping a flywheel with each hand and giving a good tug. With an engine in good condition it will fire as soon as the piston goes over compression. Of course the genuine ones have "Listard" chromium plated cylinders. I fear that all that cranking could be bad for ones health, maybe there was air in the fuel line or a leaking injector. Hopefully it will improve once it has been run-in. Consider colloidal graphite?

wood love to see it under full load
