Will it start?? old Lister engine

[@alasdairvincent6248]

It’s great to see this engine starting. These old Listers are real workhorses, built to last.

[@NorfolkMancave]

Aw they were great engines. 👍

[@boydovens4180]

@@NorfolkMancave They were and still are , built to last when were all gone , they will still be turning .

[@tonyconnolly9847]

You of All people should know that 99% of motors spark and fire cranking clockwise more so the old Listers , enjoy your videos great stuff for us old man caverns.

[@TheMrWoodsman]

Brilliant detailed video of how to deal with a Lister. Thank you

[@alanlake5220]

Got to love it when you can get a old engine going again.

[@TheTutorialguy_28]

Wow what a beautiful peice of machinery only a good old bit of British engineering can put a smile on my face and this old girl achieved that

[@clearprop]

Great stuff. Glad you didn't chop bits out - it's good to see the whole journey of trying to fire up these old engines. Thanks for uploading. 👍

[@GMC6969]

Keep on doing it the way you repair and clean! I am enjoying it the way it is! :)

[@greyhound3561]

When removing fuel lines try using two spanners - one on the top nut and one one the flair-nut, same applies to all line fittings like that..

[@davidrobinson6353]

Was shouting it myself. He should know that surely. 😲😱

[@kiweekeith]

Great find .... Yes, Agree .... Just a Good Clean and Oil Wipe, Polish and Oil the Flywheels .... That is All .... Thanks for sharing .... Best to You and Yours ..... Cheers from NZ

[@michaelbamber4887]

The tank is a add on. This engine would have been supplied to fit in a factory or works of some kind. It's tank cooled and the fuel tank may have been very large and fitted into the building along with the cooling tank. I've got a lister A, and a B and a D type. All are hopper cooked though.

[@jerrykrautenstaben6584]

You need another wrench to hold the end towards the float bowl and then the spanner you were using to undo the fuel line.

[@WidowUK]

Oh that little pusher thing as you called it is there to put a load on the main jet adjuster so it stays in place once you’ve set it depending on the rpm and load so you get the right mixture

[@stephengunrunnerhanson3550]

Its alive good one just great to see it going

[@altezzaguynz]

You need to use two spanners, one on the fitting thats in the tank or carb and one to undo the fuel line nut

[@stevevogelman3360]

You have to hold the fitting while turning the flair nut. Don’t try to hold the tubing with pliers.

[@reelclean2795]

I’ve just bought a petter av1. I’m new no stationary engines. Can’t wait to get into it. Good to see the process on your one. Who did you get the build age details from? Maybe get some information on mine. Thanks

[@d4zzyb0y]

I cannot get past the stupidity of not being able to remove the fuel pipes to watch any further

[@dazedconfusedSKZ]

Stale petrol makes an excellent solvent! Nice vid👍

[@gor4988]

Looks a bit like the atf/accertone mix , give it time to work Good luck & thanks for sharing your adventure

[@KJM.72]

I wouldn’t paint it up I’d just sort the petrol tank and a good service cracking little engine that mate 👍👍

[@cliffordnicholls868]

Very nice.

[@gordonstearns6776]

I like things that look old or naturl

[@gordonstearns6776]

Keep it the way it is

[@ronalddaub7965]

I've been a member of the antique engine and thresherman's association 30 years that is a nice engine would be nice to have that at any show even the way it sits.

[@d4zzyb0y]

Two spanners to remove the fuel pipes, not sure how thats not obvious

[@davidphillips2259]

So cool 😎

[@jb-rc9ku]

I would love to get one of these old listers. Are there very many still around?

[@brianseaman7266]

where did you learn about being a mechanic hold 1 at the top then undo the bottom nut .

[@brucebonkowski9568]

I would of use some transmission fluid or 2cycle mix get some Seafoam cleans injectors cylinder combustion chamber

[@billdyke9745]

Didn't fight too hard, considering. 👍

[@ronalddaub7965]

Hint . Leave the needle valve alone once you get it to run and every time you turn it you shut it off you will learn..🤣

[@niallthorogood1595]

I picked this up from Great Dunmow from a farm, hopefully you can find the history behind it.

[@NorfolkMancave]

Fantastic history mate.

[@topbloke60]

For a moment I thought you were gonna be airborne when the motor fired up lol... Think you should keep it as original as possible. Somebody's already tried painting it but why add to it... Interesting video - really like the fact you don't edit ...even if you are lazy lol. Keep up the good work mate

[@NorfolkMancave]

Thank you. Yes I didn't expect it to race away quite so much lol.. and yes I'm going to keep it as original as I can. Thanks for watching.

[@brianseaman7266]

use 2 spanners

[@christophertolcher3379]

Hi, can you give the details of the perso that provides the history of Lister's please. Thanks Chris

[@davidpresnell1734]

Try a flair nut wrench. .

[@NorfolkMancave]

um well look them up.

[@gordonstearns6776]

Many pressure wash it

[@stefanallan4274]

Clockwise

[@garygag739]

Well hell man I can't believe how quickly she fired up after standing all that time. Are you goner carry on and get her in a driveable condition as that will be a good video to watch. I love your videos but not so keen on the music I would rather listen to your commentary. Well keep up the good work wishing you all the best from Suffolk. 👍😃

[@jaycoopz2152]

Just throw some go juice down the fire make it happener and hope for the best.

[@annalorree]

Nah, leave it in its working clothes. A good rub or spray with a light oil or a bit of diesel or paraffin lamp oil from time to time, and leave her be.

[@WidowUK]

Don’t paint it clean it up and use an oily rag over it to stop it rusting and to bring the colour of its paint back like what I e done with my old mower that’s on my channel there worth more unrestored but working. Leave it in it’s working clothes as they say

[@edwardmulder3777]

Get rid of the duck oil, u need to invest in some elbow grease, lol.

[@harrypratt2654]

No it's not it's met to be a massive sfier shape

[@gordonstearns6776]

Just clean it up

[@davidrobinson6353]

Please don’t give your Day job up.

[@davidrobinson6353]

Use two spanners
