I built a very heavy base for it from I beam and U channel. Time will tell how difficult she is to start in the cold.
LISTER DIESEL GENERATOR GENERATOR
In my opinion this is the way to go if you want a non-portable generator that you can live with. At 650 rpm, it's quite slow and peaceful to listen to. I'm thrilled about it - its a magnificent machine and it runs like a charm. and I've yet to check the timing of the injection pump, but it does seem to run well. so careful cleaning was required and hopefully I did a good enough job! Of course the valves were badly adjusted. This would probably destroy the bearings and the bore in pretty short order. On careful inspection I found a couple pockets of casting sand in the sump. You'd never be able to make, and sell a product like this within the US. The parts of the flywheels that were facing down got no paint at all! No paint on the gas tank under the straps that hold it on. Basicly, they bolted it down to the crate in which it's to ship, and sprayed the heck out of it. The castings are very primitive - lots of "filler" is used throughout. this "Listeroid" is quite badly finished. I have a small collection of antique American gas engines, which are similar in style, size and weight. I read before buying this and was pretty well prepared for what I was getting into. This brand 'Fuking' features a sleeved cylender, huge tapered rollers on the main bearings - it's generally hugely overbuilt and *very* robust. The lister SC design was (I believe) the first ever "cold start" diesel engine, which would startup from compression alone, without the aid of a glowplug, hot bulb, or other heating system. The weigh about 750 pounds, they are rated 6hp 650 rpm. These are available brand new (checkout ), they are made in India. These engines are pretty much exact knockoffs of the Lister CS design, which was manufactured in England from 1930 - 1987. Pictured above is one shot of the generator I made up.

George is a heck of a nice fellow and his site is chuck full of excellent advice and information. finally I gave in and ordered one up from George at. I've been hearing, reading about, and drooling over these engines now for a couple years. This page is a brief one about my new Fuking diesel engine and the generator set I made up with it.
