Will It Start, no, no it won't. Attempting to start a 6hp cs lister Diesel engine

In this video I will ultimately fail at getting this engine to run. But I will share anyway. I run. through the oiling system, fuel system and much more. You will see why non detergent oil is important in these old engines. Toward end of video you will see my stover belted up to the lister in a attempt to start.

Yessss, invested in this Lister! Can't wait to see it run. Awesome video man.

Well you tried. Glad you found a good home for it.

Looks like you need Vet gloves to work on big nasty !

Soak in Acetone and AtF

I believe there are quite a lot of new Lister parts still available

[@tylerthon2214]

Yea alot of them. I guess a factory in India still makes the lister engine and are still in use today.

I've wanted a Lister for a while. Sadly, thanks to my wife's uncontrolled retail therapy, I most likely will never have one.😢

Good call not attempting to use the original filter system
