Lister CS 6/1

Just took the lister CS out for it's first run of 2012. The first of many hopefully.

I could listen to that all day! You always had a soft spot for the old CS,fine running engine Kevin,just like a "diesel clock". Good video.

In this video it's running @ 300 RPM. It has an oil pump for oiling the main bearings and the big and little end are splash oiled. I run it at this speed all the time and it goes fine. Thanks for watching.

Lovely , I have a CS 6/1 too, will be making a new trolley very soon and was looking at ways to eliminate trolley hop every firing stroke, Well !! after studying your video I will be mounting the axles at the trolley ends like your to prevent leverage, thanks a lot Jon

Very nice tickling sound. Hope when I get mine and restore it will sounds like this!

[@regaskin]

It's running at 300 RPM in the video. I usually let it run at that speed or lower at vintage shows. They will do about 700 RPM but i wouldn't run it at that speed with no load, wouldn't be good for it. If you look through the videos on my channel you'll see it driving a bench saw doing about 600 RPM. I buy most of my engines here in the Emerald Isle, bought a couple from the UK as well.

Lovely restoration job, i love these engines. Mind you i had a hell of a job getting the fly wheels of one off mine when i replaced the main bearings!!

Lovely sound. She ticks over nicely.

[@regaskin]

Yeah could listen to it all day. Very reliable engine and economical to run as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@regaskin]

@kenboak. Thanks for your comment. I don't keep them too long so I don't bother hooking them up to anything. While i have them i bring them to vintage shows so they're heavy enough to handle as they are.

nice video of the lister cs i have a 1935 cs to nice sounds engines

[@Bevoin1970]

Ah! sounds just great doesn't she? - I like this engine, looks good and runs nice and smooth. She's a joy to watch and listen too.. :-)

[@youngandylad1996]

yes lookes good hope to see you soon

[@Vos1995]

very nice, sounds very healthy;)

[@hawkman916]

Can you please tell me what exact shade of green that is you have painted your Lister with ? Been looking on eBay for paint for my collection and their are so many variations of Lister Brunswick greens but most dont show colour but just say light,mid or dark. I do like the one you have chosen. Nice Cs.

[@regaskin]

+hawkman916 I didn't paint the engine since I got it, it was done by the previous owner who assured me that it is MID Brunswick Green. It is a lovely shade of green. If you look up "starting a 1931Crossley" on my channel, it's painted Dark Brunswick green, beautiful colour as well so that will give you an idea of the two colours. Only you can decide.

I see this one running so smooth and sounding so great. I can tell it is very efficient. And then I see a new listeroid running here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5ykfWeZapymgbM It is running faster and seems to be working harder and is louder. What is the difference? Where do you get your engines?

[@kenboak]

Very nice example of a 6/1. But she's not exactly working!! Load the old girl up with a 4kW alternator at 650 rpm and then you will appreciate what these engines can do!
