Lister petter ph1 cold cold start

[@alanbobbymcguire5099]

My goodness that brings back memories for I used to go out on building sites , construction sites at the weekends and earn three quid working for my dad. I officially started my apprenticeship 1980. Must’ve been 75 maybe 1976. Great times.

[@essexpeter6116]

I learnt to drive on one of those in the very late 60s. It could do with the idle speed picked up a little. Open the fuel rack past the running position for cold start by lifting the hinged block/bolt. Also you can give the lever that you stop it with (next to fuel pump) a few priming pumps. Good video lads, takes me back over 50 years.

Great job young man. I am busy rebuilding a dumper with a Petter PH2 engine and it is not easy starting it cold. Much respect to you!

[@petertoth6724]

Hi! I would like to ask dont you have a technical description or manual about this dumper? My friend has this type of dumper (Benford OPP/SWING), but he cannot use it, because in hungary we need the technical description/ manual for the exam. I am not an expert about dumpers, i just try to help to my friend. If you have any technical description or manual we would appreciate if you would send me a copy about it. Of course we would pay for it. Thank you!

Nice to see you young fellas working on a proper machine! You know your engines :)

[@alanlake5220]

Yep great to see a couple of young lads having fun with old engines, best way to learn .

[@francismalonza6114]

I like the energy the young guys have. They know the machine pretty well. i also love working with old engines and machines.

[@berntd]

Repect for that little guy starting that. These are super hard to get going. You did it young man!!

[@mattsan70]

great kids - learning tons as they play - two fingers up to Gretta Thunbugger - get razzing about on that dumper kids

[@markhaugh1235]

Well done lads truly shows how hard it is to start these things

[@Snijkamp]

Nice work lads! Keep it up with the old techniques 🤟

[@indianajames4168]

Thanks mate 👍

[@nickcox2974]

That good video boys I have the same dumper easy to start and great little work horse yes when you need to start in cold weather use a shot of fuel in the inlet it's a better start well done

I did wonder why it sounded a little 'lethargic' Eddie. Well spotted! Lol re an adult possibly disconnecting it! Good video by the way. Always loved the Petters. Doug

[@BensWorkshop]

I always like a Petter. Well done lads.

That's one of Heyhoe brothers of NORWICH ex dump trucks. Woodside Road NR7.

[@edd6113]

It might be to late, but in your other video the fuel pump rack spring was disconnected from the governor arm. That's your hard starting because its not going on to full fuel and why when you blip the throttle it doesn't rev much. Put the spring on and it will start better and fly along. Good luck, P. S if an adult has disconnected it to stop you speeding I didn't tell you 😉

[@indianajames4168]

Thanks for letting me know

[@edd6113]

@@indianajames4168 it looks like the spring is on it, just needs clipping on, should be a little hole in the governor arm. When you hook it up as you press the throttle you will see the pump rack get pulled out the pump.

There is no quit in this guy just sayin'

[@snapdragogon69]

Brought back memories. In the mid to late 1980s my friend and I had access to one of these and while not supposed to we would get the handle and try and start it, one would crank and the other move the compression lever. unfortuantely, we were not strong enough and we only ever managed to get it on the cusp of starting and some smoke, then shattered, we would eventially put the handle back in it's hiding place and do something else.

'Lister Petter' - you mean Petter ! How about going over the starting procedure before cranking it over ?

[@trevorslater2746]

Originally lister petter

[@millomweb]

@@trevorslater2746 Lister & petter were two competing companies. I doubt they'd work together on making engines.

[@chrisbond8821]

@@millomweb Lister Petter was formed after Hawker Sidley group bought Petter in 1957 and Listers in 1965 and merged the two together.

[@millomweb]

@@chrisbond8821 The company name might be both but the engines are individual - one or the other. I think the big question is - which do you prefer ? Anything but Hatz ;) I've sat pondering my question expecting to say Petter - and I will - on the grounds that the governor can't be overridden by normal controls - having had to modify accelerator linkage on a Lister to allow the governor to work to stop it stalling at junctions !

[@Dylansworkshop]

i have a video on starting a 1972 cement mixer cold all i know is that is a lister petter go check it out

[@dulalchandrapalengineering1985]

Index company ka single cylinder engine

[@stevenwilliams8460]

Where are you parents??? You should never try and start drive operate be it a small dumper. It's not a toy I've now grown men have their leg amputated killed.
