Help.................? I have a Lister ST2 Start-o-Matic generator. It failed to start recently because the two 12v starting batteries were flat (- this sets off the red Genset Failed light). Now I have recharged the batteries, but the Reset button will only turn off the Genset Failed for 20 seconds and this stops the generator from working, ( if I quickly switch something on, the generator starts, but cuts out when the light comes on). I have tried replacing all the relays but I still cant get the Reset to work. Any ideas anyone..................? Ray
Reset button on Lister Start-o-matic wont reset

Have you checked what the charge rate into the batteries is?
The reset is an overload trip I seem to remember, and I also think it is in the circuit to/from the batteries?
I've got a book on the later air-cooled start-o-matic somewhere, but it isn't in view....
