Gentlemen. My brother and I, collected the latest addition to our collection last sunday. A Lister CS 5/1 startomatic, we got it loaded into the van by lifting the engine off the base and loading the engine seperate from the base with an engine crane, and were back on the road within a couple of hours. We then took a little detour, and nipped in and met roland, he gave us a cuppa and a good look around his great collection of engines, and managed to find me a mag sprocket for my lister M, thanks roland. Then the long haul back up the dreaded M5. I'v had an spare hour this afternoon, so i'v dropped the engine back on its base, and connected some fuel to it, but not had any joy getting the generator to turn the engine over. I was using a 12v battery, i hav'nt tryed 24volt as i dont want to damage anything. Does anyone have any idea what voltage batterys were used on these sets, any info would be gratefully recieved. I'll put some pics of it and a couple of other bits i'v aquired over the last few weeks on webshots in the next few days. Thanks, regards, Gary M :-)
