Your welcome

Thank you, that’s very kind!

Hello, thank you for your comment! The hand wheel on the cylinder head is for changing the compression ratio, in cold frosty weather it is wound in to raise compression for easier starting, and when driving heavy loads it is wound out to to lower compression 🙂 All the best!

@@sambocotton5868 Thank you for your answer. Best regards.

I just fired it up from cold on low compression and it started easily and it doesn’t smoke at all (20 degrees outside temp but cooler inside), I gave it a 2000 watt load from a heater still on low compression and there’s barely any detectable smoke! Each time I fire it up it’s getting better and better,I guess the rings and bore are bedding in. The very first time I fired it up I gave it 3000 watts boiling a kettle which it does easily but there was a bit of blue smoke but nothing like what it was, I think I’ll put them videos up and then try the 3k load again to see if it’s cleared up! I must have had the engine running about 2 hours now on and off,the first fire up I let it run for an hour straight to get it warm and let the oil circulate. Was there much play in the valves and guides or did you replace them? Probably just needs to bed in 👍

@@sambocotton5868 The reason I ask is because some guys say you must not run a lister unloaded. It glazes the bore. I suspect its just like you say. Needs bedding in. Compression is excellent. New valves and guides but they are Indian so tolerances may not be as good in the guides. Could be the fuel cetane is not as high down under. 30 weight monograde castrol oil.

That’s definitely the best way to build an engine, I had to get it done as quick as possible as I haven’t got a great deal of room! I like the look of the tank cooled engines better although I suppose the rad cooled are more practical, there’s no pump it’s still thermo siphon but is very efficient at cooling, l recon it would be great at heating quite a large workshop as it moves plenty of warm air around 😉 I told my brother to keep his eyes peeled for a start o matic set and grab it with both hands, he moved to Oz 30 odd yrs ago

Güzel motor,bizde 1953 modeli vardi

6 hp might be 4.476 kw, but you won't get that out of it.

My engine came off a Sheepstation in Queensland. It still had the belt pulley used to drive the line shaft in the shearing shed. Only worked hard for a few weeks every year and kept under cover. The lanolin from the sheep's wool protected it from rust. It was in very good original condition but needed a complete overhaul. I repainted some of the parts but tried to keep the original paint where it was still sound. It's a dark Brunswick/ British racing green. Nice. I too am using it to drive a generator. It doesn't have the radiator like yours. Thermosyphon. Anyway, Kate did a great job of filming, editing and sound. Congrats to her. Enjoy your engine. You've got a great engineering classic there in excellent condition. Very lucky. I snapped mine up when I found it. Many were left to rust outside once they became redundant. Took me three years to find it though after a lot of scouring. I needed the 6hp rather than 3.5. I don't think the radiator types were very common downunder. You really hit the jackpot with that one. Good to keep it in original condition too. I intend to go off grid with mine. It will be put to good use. Cheers.

..and my Seco Lube 500 turns black after a couple of hours just like my favorite internet oil, Royal Purple. Air Velocity never came back with his results with the Seco Lube unless I missed it from two years ago. I will say my YH runs cooler with the Seco Lube. I have written Lawrence Factor, lol, not holding my breath. So, myself and a few others on Airgun forum have the same issue, with 1(one) saying his does not turn black.
