Hi all, don't have much money but I'm looking for a reasonable lister cs 6/1 doesn't need to have a genny with it or fuel and water tanks but I do want one that runs and doesn't have any water jacket issues. If anybody knows for anything please let me know, I'm in south wales but don't mind a long drive depending on the price... Thanks all Marc.  |

North-West Ireland. Not sure price wise, haven't had a good look at her, she has been buried under stuff for a few years  Its the Lister that used to drive the generating set and is currently head and jacketless! |

No biff, just really fed up paying mega diesel prices every month..... I run a lister ts2 and a petter ava1 but with both being air cooled I'm losing all the heat or at least a big chunk of it... Fancy a 6/1 on kerosene into a 400l tank... Thanks Clive, I can manage a drive but that's one hell of a swim around from here..... Cheers both Marc |

didn't want to post earlier and step on any toes....
but I'm on the look out for one too, but the bigger ones, 4 cylinders and water cooled
(I wasn't going to post at all, but as we're looking for different engines I didn't think you'd mind)
I've been looking for a long time... and am in no real hurry to get one either :-)

That's a very strange water jacket, is it definitely Lister?

Thanks guys, I looked at this one earlier in the week and contacted the guy for some more info and this is what he sent;
Dear marc.jonah,
Hi
HS 5BHP 600RPM
Petter M Type No.73763
Lister no.58927 Spec 76L
Regards
Martin

I'm not into copying what people do, but, a lot of people have good results with the cs when doing what I want to do, when I have something up and running I'll be willing to have a play, but I've had a dc motor of ken b and he says I need a 6-8 hp engine to power it so thought this may be a bit small. What you think guys?

you'll only need 6 to 8hp to run the motor at full load
if you don't run it at full load, or gear it (larger pulley on the motor) so it's running a bit slower then it won't be a problem :-)

That one is just down the road from me, and i saw it in the warehouse when i was last there poking about. Im pretty sure its a lister A, isnt it? Ie petrol, and no good for what most people get up to with the CS. 5/1 and 6/1 lister cs units come up on ebay quite often, but they vary in price quite a bit. On a good day you should be able to get a runner for about £300, but often they go for double that (and ive seen tripple also!) |
