This engine is now for sale. Located in Wokingham, Berkshire. I have another SR1 that I am rebuilding.

I have a reverse rotation SR1 it came off a cricket pitch roller. Plus one in a dumper. Very nice, good work.

Hi again Steve.I did mean to ask if you have a clear picture of the fly-wheel cowling on your engine as mine looks very similar but i cant pause excactly where i try to get a better look.All the ones i have seen on youtube are totally different to mine.

Hi Steve.Sorry its taken me so long to reply but i could not remember my password & had a nightmare trying to set up a new one.Due to an injury i have been unable to do anything with my Lister engine till today.I have just raised it up on a breezeblock pillar to make access easier for my knackered knees.I see you sugest that my engine number is for a normal rotation & not reverse rotation. Am i likely to cause damage if i try to start the engine the wrong way ? I thought their would be an owners club that would be able to positively identify my engine & take the guess work out of it but have not been able to find such an organisation.The handle supplied with it locates only in anti=clockwise direction but the arrow cast on it shows clockwise.Previous owner said he wasnt sure if it was the right handle for the engine. So as you can see i am still unsure which way i should be cranking the engine to try and start her up.

Lovely engine mate. I have a 6hp reverse modle. Do you know why they were made in the reverse format. Atb james

Hi Steve, I was trawling through youtube vids looking for information that may help me with a recently ebay purchased Lister SR1 when i came upon your video. I bought my engine as a complete engine but without the previous owner getting round to starting it. The crank handle suplied with it has an arrow pointing clockwise as you look at the engine with the starting shaft in front of you but it will only engage on the shaft when turned anti-clockwise so i am wondering if my engine is the same as yours my only prior experience with stationary engines is with a Petter AV1 that starts with a clockwise rotation and it was this that made me think something wasnt right with my new aquisition. Can you tell me for my peace of mind before i try and start her up is their any way of identifying which direction i should crank the handle so i dont potentially damage anything. My Petter handle fits allowing me to crank clockwise or i can reverse the spring-loaded locator pin on the handle that came with the Lister. The previous owner doesnt know so cant help me. I would be very gratefull if you could give me any help into identifying the engine i have.The serial NO is 6859 SR1A23 7.75 B.H.P @ 2,500 R.P.M Cheers. Peter.
