Apologies, Andrew I hit the modify button instead of the quote button and overwrote your post before I realized it :palm: Second time I've done this -- I think I ought to turn in my moderator badge... (Steve) :doh: ps. I think you just mentioned low vibration on the Lister, and the fact that the shade of green was not the proper one.......sorry! |

I figured a three cyl would be nice that way. What is the RPM, running, Andrew? I think mine would be useful in the Spring if I was back into fishing. At 600 RPM, and with it's massive power stroke and weight, it shakes the earth all around. It's not unpleasant -- in fact we all think the sound running IS pleasant. Just a thump thump thump. But my thought is, it ought to drive the nightcrawlers (earthworms) nuts on a spring evening when they're near the surface and easy to collect. I bet there would be hundreds of them out ready for the picking up with a little run of my genset!! There ought to be a Roald Dahl story about that! ps. We Yanks aren't up on our greens like you guys are -- much to our detriment, ornamentally. I just figure if a motor is green it's a Lister :palm: Always a pleasure to see the range of door colo(u)rs you have, and locomotives not just colored black.... :beer: |

OK walk all over my posts - see if I care , I'll go in the garden and eat worms :clap: :clap: Seriously - no problems Steve, it was probably rubbish anyway :ddb: I think I was rambling on about not being sure that its' actually the right colour - supposed to be "Brunswick Green" I believe, but I thought that that was darker, rather like "British Racing Green" It's nominal speed is 1500 rpm |

1500 must sound okay Andrew -- not like my little 3600 RPM gasoline racket-maker. I still haven't hooked the big Listeroid to the house transfer switch, so the racket-maker still gets used in power-outs. After the tiny shop is finished, I'm going to change that and get the Listeroid connected. Not sure what shade of green mine is! |

I'm surprised it's actually not too bad noise wise, especially considering so far I've just screwed the 'pepper pot' exhaust terminal into the exhaust manifold and left off the silencer ! Biggest noise at the moment comes from the rattling of the lid of the electrical box as it's just laying on not screwed down yet. Putting 5kW load on made a just perceptible change in the engine note. I think it's a 1900 cc engine rate 18 BHP / 13.4 kW continuous with a 10% overload margin (just looked it up!) |
