Lister 27/3 Generator

At work, a 1945 Lister engined 230v single phase generator which has been a reserve power source, is now no longer required. I believe it has been run once in the last five years and is in working order. Base approx. 12' x 4'. Radiator included. Location is Leeming, North Yorkshire. Loading onto vehicle available.

Interesting electric start arrangement. What's hidden under the guard? A car engine flywheel? or some sort of double reduction?

Is it the original radiator? I have a very similar set, still hand start only.

Tim, I'm not sure about radiator originality. Probably not. It is a while since I saw it built up in situ. I'll look into that. The starting arrangement consists of the back end of a cylinder block with crankshaft cut off at last big end, a starter motor to drive the flywheel, which has a splined shaft and sliding dog which connects (manually) to its helical mate on the engine crankshaft before starting, and which is dis-engaged as the engine speed rises. All built to the most stringent Heath-Robinson criteria.

Regards, Dave.

Very classy

I like the way the flex mounts have been retained!

Hi Sent you an e mail via your hot mail account, but no reply. Would be interested in this generator as it would fit in with our set up.

How can this be progressed ?

Cheers

Hi, My apologies for not replying. Your email must have been caught in a spam filter, although four other tentative enquiries got through. I have replied to your request off-line.

The company now value the set between =A3400 and =A3500. Which, considering the price that some Lister 6/1s achieve ......

Regards, Dave Carter.

Hello Damien, Could you please supply an alternative email address as two replies to your enquiry have bounced back as "unable to deliver". Regards, Dave Carter.
