New Project: Lister D-Type

New rebuild project for the winter to start eldest son's apprenticeship.



Thats a Lister D-type 2 valve 1cyl petrol engine from 1940. With an Amal carb.

1 3/4 HP @ 850rpm.

Seems like a good place to begin

Cost us 18.

Can be used for exotic applications such as sheep shearing, wood saws, and generators.







Stripdown and rebuild to be documented here !

 

Excellent, looking forward to it.

 

Was expecting to see an expensive old jag.

 

Me to, Lol.

I keep on looking at these and thinking I'll get one, not found one close enough for the right price yet....don't want one enough to travel far Lol.

Put a 2 1/4" SU on it I reckon :-).

 

i've got a pair of 2" su's in stock......

 

A little disappointed after reading the title but Im actually looking forward to the rebuild

 

Some of these little static engines are bonkers, total loss coolant, two/four stroke hybrids, hit and miss timing - did my head in when a ****ed up heavily bearded chap at a very small country show tried to explain it all to me and a mate

 

I wish...



About many millions more than my Lister.

 

Now thats a lister lol

Where did you find that for 18 thats what I want to know?

 

Local paper ad. Got a nice trolly with it too! Old chap has loads of old stuff so considering a lathe and some other bits and bobs too.
