Starting & Running the 1929 Lister Junior Engine
Ойын-сауық
Having made a "how to start" video for Lister's dependable D type, I thought I'd do one for the equally popular "Junior" A type.
As with any product from R.A Lister & Co. there are plenty of variations but this video is just a general guide, and how I run my engine.
This engine was built in 1929 and sold to Reeves of Bratton, Wiltshire (home of the famous White Horse) And most likely would have powered a hay bale elevator.
I undertook an eight month restoration of the engine, despite being in running order the Lister had suffered stuck piston rings, worn valve guides, badly damaged valve seats, and water damage to the crank journals. Everything was cleaned, repaired and serviced including the magneto - a re-paint undertaken and new trolley designed and built to suit my storage and transport.
The engine is 3hp at 600rpm, this one is an A16 with the smaller 3.75" bore - this type was the first to have twin flywheels and "non caged" valves.

Truly beautiful. Magnificent that they still make them in India and equally magnificent that Mr Wally and his mates keep the heritage ones in such fine condition. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow what a beautiful machine.
Everything made nicely, no wretched plastic. brass, cast iron, steel all machined. No warped alloy head (cylinder).
I always loved these lister engines as much as I love my garden tractors I'd totally have one of these around
Very good presentation of an excellent restoration and working exhibit. Thanks for sharing.
Still used in a few shearing sheds in Australia. Had one at one time.Lifting water 465 feet for one and a half kilometres with two inches IBC piston pump.loved it.!!

What a lovely video. Superb quality and well thought through and edited. Excellent. Mesmerizing to watch.
Beautiful engine and very well made video, Especially the proper thumb out cranking technique, Thank you for sharing your time and $$!
Simplesmente fantástica essa preciosidade!!! Parabéns para quem conservou/restaurou.
Very nice, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic, love it!
Relaxing to watch. Lister engines were once the backbone of dairy industry by driving vacuum pumps in many a milking shed. Also, as here, working water pumps, welders and generator sets. These along with their diesel counterparts were simple and very long-term reliable. Some farmers continued using them after mains electricity was available, saying, "I'll go electric when the Lister wears out!" The man usually wore out first! Col, NZ.

I think best engine ever. Whrte can I buy one for an off grid system
Hi from Australia. Originally from Suffolk. In the 50s the Lister engine I remember was used to drive a threshing machine. The reason I’m interested in yours is that its got that open water cooled head like I remember. Haven’t seen many like that on line. Yours is in great condition. A credit to you. All the best.

Nicely videoed too with just captions and steady shots. Let's the story tell itself very neatly. Excellent and absorbing. Thanks! Definitely want to get hold of one of these engines. Have my first Lister D's, one with a H2 pump set, 1944 vintage & running very nicely as bought and another with no compression which I've started to dismantle. It's all complete and has the less common (as I understand) "poppet valve type" crank case breather next to the hopper. Fuel tank is on brackets. (13D, 102572) Please keep the vids coming!

lovely restoration job.. i had one years ago and the fuel tank was not separate but a half round tank mounted on the crankcase under the carburetor. maybe mine was a later model but still a junior
Love those Listers.
Fascinating to watch. Your diligence is very much appreciated!
nice look
I love this video and your little engine! And from now on I'm going to "Strangle" every one of my engines until they cooperate!!!LOL
Well done !👏👏👏
What a beauty
Very nice!
Very good idea

Wonder how many engines lister have made.

The famous engines Lister...
You left the main driven belt so close when reversing rotation (due to crossing) that it seems to me they touch each other during operation. You should find out a way to guarantee no touch between them. Ricardo Buratto

Hi why do these have to twin flywheels along with amancos and other others?
@steamwally
8 жыл бұрын
these engines are very simple and not all that well balanced, a pair of large flywheels will help make the engine smoother - there is less "cyclic variation" from the power stroke.

このエンジンは3㏋を600rpmで発生するのでトルクは 35.6 N・m ですね。 This engine generates 3 ㏋ at 600 rpm and the torque at that time is 35.6 N · m.
The same engine can be found in Canada like London hit and miss engine
Sounds good.
