DIESEL LISTEROIDE 6/1 ENGINE

My Clone Lister (made in India) 6/1 startup and running
Single Cylinder
6hp
650 rpm
700 lbs
It has low hours and runs like a clock, it was supposed to be my home generator but I never had a chance to set it up properly

I had a 800 rpm 6/1 in Texas I ran on waste motor oil at 300 rpm and got 8 hrs to a gallon. After 3 years and 4800 hrs zero carbon on the piston. I ran it through a centrifuge to 5 micron, heated it to remove water and brought acidity down to neutral. Will keep in storage indefinately.

Hi Robert, hope you are well. I remember your videos.

[@boathemian7694]

I love these things. Especially the water tap directly over the generator head lol.

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

The tap is there to service the coolant every now and then, but you are right, it’s poorly located

[@boathemian7694]

@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox no man it’s awesome, I’m just messin with ya lol. I’m not an inspector, just jealous I don’t have one of those!

Made to last

[@badenpascoe3976]

Yep, all Listers run clean. Remarkable little engines.

[@dabprod]

Problem is the EPA doesn't think so.

Bellissimo video
Mi piace tantissimo il motore Lister
Nel mio stato Italia non esistono questi motori
Ho fatto dei video di quello che faccio io con quello che trovo qui .
Complimenti bel lavoro

So cool

[@thomasjehnkins1986]

Gee I wonder if you emission test it at temp what would the levels be...certainly cleaner than some diesels I have seen people rollin coal with...

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

Well, its a backup for a solar setup, so I guess the the nasty emissions are offset by the clean energy of the sun

[@jackmcgramm2259]

run it off wvo or biodiesel. then its carbon neutral.

[@wi11y1960]

Love the vid. Planning on getting an 8hp for $313 from India.
Your engine bolts seem loose.

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

Thats a good deal, parts are easily available...my engine wasn't secured properly yet on that video, lots of shaking but all the bolts were tight

[@hamadilawson4396]

How would I go about purchasing from India?

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

@@hamadilawson4396 they are illegal in the state (epa regulations) but you can import an air pump wich is exactly the same as the 6/1 without the fuel system ( which you can easily find on line).

[@NickOvchinnikov]

Could you run bunker oil? Maybe use the coolant to heat transfer to the thick bunker oil to thin it out?

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

For sure you can, the trick is to have a dual tank that you can switch back and forth. One of the tank with regular diesel to start and warm up the engine then switch to bunker oil to operate the machine and just before shutting down switch back again to diesel to diesel to clean up the fuel system

[@rileykirk11]

would bunker oil, properly heated to good viscosity, change performance or leave buildups? should maintenance change? affect on power or g/kwh? no.6 bunker is 151-155k btu/volume and no 1 diesel is 132-137k btu/volume

[@mainelyelectric]

Did I see that you had oil in under the valve cover? And how often do you have to add it? Any special oil?

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

Hi, I used straight w30 motor oil and depending of the usage, I just kept an eye on the level daily and top it up as needed

[@goodmanboattransport3441]

What is the diameter of the crankshaft where the start handle fits?

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

Hi
Its 2 inches

Greetings, I am having a hard time getting a lister 6/1 clone here in the US. I heard that you can buy the air compressor model and change the head. I use a Yanmar diesel. It is very fuel efficient but I dream of something quiet like the 6/1 @750RPM.

[@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox]

Hi
I know those guys ship in the great USA, www.justliveoffgrid.com/ and from what I understand the air compressor is exactly like the 6/1 without the fuel system. For the fuel system check out Central Maine Diesel (State of Maine) www.centralmainediesel.com/

[@brianmcmenamin7269]

If you buy a new Listeroid in a crate remember to go through it with a fine tooth comb before start up. The crankcase will have sand in the castings which will destroy your bearings etc..! Once cleaned they are a strong reliable engine!
