Great video. Very instructive. I learnt a lot - much more than from reading the Lister CS manual. I enjoyed seeing you diagnose and resolve each problem. I am learning about the CS engine in preparation for stripping down and overhauling one I recently bought. They are relatively common here in Australia. I have a 3.5/1 mf'd in 08/1942.
Glad I was of help for you. Comments like yours makes me keep doing my videos, I really appropriate all your supports. In future I am planning of doing some like that about magnetos too. Thank you very much. Check out my todays video please. Joseph
Very useful information. I use an ultrasonic bath for cleaning all parts. They are not very expensive and get all of the dirt out in a short time. I like your test rig. That is very handy.
Wonderful video Joseph I really like the longer educational videos I have a few injectors I'll use you're advice on, I really need to build an injector tester one day. I have a spare pump i could use.
Many thanks, very useful information. I wonder how easy it would be to build such a test rig. Do you ever replace parts in the injectors or do you just rework them till they work?
Depends, sometimes I dont get lucky and end up with a far worst spray patters. When its an injector like that which could get a new nozzle easy I keep trying and do my best to further my limitations skills. When its some thing hard to source I take more care in re lapping it or not. In that case I would have waited till the engine is restored and see if it can start up and gove it a good clean. That injector is for my future project Lister JP3
Thanks for watching, Yes that hole points into the combustion chamber inside the head. These engines are indirect injection. Also most of them has expandable chamber to variate the compression.
@@enginelover1 thanks for the message! I have a lister CS, my injector looks the same as yours, so the nozzle hole should points toward the change over valve, the same like pointing towards the injector fuel ports
@@tommacey8007 Yes who aver made them made a dowel pin so no one can miss assemble it. Lister CS and JP share the same nozzle. but surprisingly the part number for the nozzle is different. I think thats make a difference in the hole as the jp piston is larger! Thanks for stopping by again :)
I have a Lister TS3 that runs fine without much load but when you put load on it slows down until it stalls. Is this a fuel issue with injector or pump?
Hi, If its a reasonable load than that is nothing from the two. That symptom is certainly the governor is not working or not attached to the fuel pump. If it starts good you have a good pump and injectors. Thank you
@@enginelover1 it runs a Quincy 390 compressor pump. The first start after sitting it can take some cranking but it starts and can run at any rpm for however long I want but when I close the tank and the pump starts making any amount of pressure the Lister just slows down gradually over the next minute or two until it stalls. If I release the pressure it cannot recover but if I let it all out and start it again it can do the same all over again. I've replaced fuel filter and fuel tank vent. Next was injectors and pumps. The Quincy pump seems to operate fine and nothing is really even hot by this time. Just warm
@@enginelover1 and I don't seem to have a governor . The fuel system is gravity fed to the fuel filter and to individual pumps then to injectors. No high lift pump
@Rich Burn it sure seems that the governor is not giving throttle to the pumps. Its a mechanism inside the engine that could get stuck by time over retired years. It is normal to have a gravity fed fuel pumps.
