Thats a shame. Just rebuilt my lister cs 6. Starts really easily. Make sure your pump timing is correct. You should here the injector release about 4" before TDC. New engines do need to be broken in. It took about twenty hours with new rings, piston and valves. The governor throws in more juice to reach governed speed so she will jump a bit until the piston and big end are broken in. Rubber mounts on a cs make no sense. Bolt it down hard. The spill timing is marked on the fly wheels of original Listers with two or three lightning stamps. If you here the injector spit when the marks line up with the centre of the fuel filter banjo, your good.

Hi, I am from India, I think you need to check your engine's timing and compression.

Poor injector spray pattern or low fuel pressure!

No es un lister genuino. Es una réplica hindú. Lister para los 8/1 Y 16/2 NUNCA fabricó los volantes con huecos equidistantes. Acuerdece que ellos mismos actúan de contrapesos para el cigueñal

son of a bitch - takes some to go

Can't even begin to imagine the fun, trying to start that bitch on a cold, stormy, rainy night..... ; I once had a chainsaw which nearly gave me a heart attack, every time I tried to start it. (After two weeks I had enough. I pulled off the motor and used it for all sorts of experiments....) I felt a lot better and now I have a GOOD chainsaw!

Something is way wrong ! And man learn not to put your thumb around the handle ! You must learn this or at some point this engine will catch you

i have a 40 year old yanmar that sat in a leaky irrigation shed half its life.never fails to start on the first or second try.there is something wrong with this listeroid

If you look around on TH-cam for Lister Diesel starting systems you will see both electric and using a compressed air stater system. Both starter systems use a friction drive to the flywheel and turn the engine over quite easily best of luck and yes if I were in your shoes an electric or compressed air starter would be in the works tomorrow. The electric starter uses a bendix drive system by bolting a gear today the generator pulley and the starter to the generator and is probably the easiest way out for your engine Something has to be out of spec on that engine as that is the worst starting Lister I've seen. Kindly let us out here in TH-cam land know what you did for a starter system please?

I'd have a heart attack trying to start that thing. Glow plug is a must. Lots of diesels of all brands won't even think of starting without them even with starting fluid.

wait a sec that thing is a replica

Заводится хорошо, но долго. :))) The engine starts fine, but for a long time. :)))

Runs very fast for one of these, it's hard to tell sitting in an arm chair but the starting issue with lots of white smoke says to me the injection timing is to retarded, I wouldn't say a bad injector as you would generally have a lot of black smoke once running, possibly a compression issue, hope you sorted it.

Should start WAY easier than that!

POS.

I'm not an expert,but that does not seem to start right.

Are you still alive and well? Need an update on this installation, PLEASE!

need to eating well

Did you ever sort it out?? I can't here the injector pump squeaking, it obviously works eventually, you'll do yourself a mischief!!!! I just started my 75 year old cs after 1 year in 0 degrees; started immediately after prepping!! I hope you get it sorted

wish my roid was this smooth ,

I'm thinking get electric start!

I hear you changed oil and fuel. Did you change fuel filter?

Hello I can hear the specific noise of timing gears having real play, so of course your engine timing is no more right like it was when made. That's why it's extremely hard to start The timing idle gear problem is common with these engines and need to be corrected as soon as possible, if it broke your engine may be destroyed. The problem is the idle gear is not originally positionned at the right place, the play is too much and it grind the gear quickly Need to install an offset center bolt for it, or to file it's hole in the right direction Regards.

Good job figuring it out. To use the electric start, what about getting the flywheels rebalanced? Or is that a different engine?

I'm looking at your video because my 6/1iod runs rough too... has anyone else mentioned it seems like the RPMs on your is super HIGH? I have a CS with those stover wheels, and while it jumps around (because I don't have it bolted down properly) it runs easier than that. Seriously, the video seems to sound like you have it running TWICE as fast as it should. I'm no expert, but check out that RPM.

This is NOT a true Lister,..it can't be ! I know they take some grunt to start but the 'green' Listers I've used always started with the first turning of that 'cursed' hand crank. Do you think you'll ever be able to start this engine in colder weather ? Lord knows you can't use either starting fluids, so what did you do ?. I say did, as I presume you've solved the problem by now, as this is 2014 and your video is 2009 !

Holy Shit! That going cause you a heart attack. You an I about the same age... Thanks for the video..i am now throufhly discouraged from buying any of these india made crap engines.

It's a listeroid - it looks like it does not have the cold start High Compression change over the original design had - Lister Dursley UK put it on for a reason

First of all thank you for uploading the videos on this engine. I have owned a 24/2 8/1 and two 6/1 and they started pretty easy even at 30 degrees in my detached garage. Not sure why this one is so hard to start. If you have not already installed an electric start by now I suggest using a hair blow dryer and blowing it straight into the air intake. the hot air should make a huge difference on how quickly it starts. I used that trick on my dads John Deer when it was hard to start in the cold. Should work even better on this diesel.

Dear sir that engine is goin to kill you , i have used a thermo king engine and build a very nice generator automatic start you should consider the same.

Take a look at my 1939 lister CS, it starts after 3 or 4 revolutions, even when i left it for two years!!!! There's something wrong with this engine i'm afraid. You don't need electric start, they are one of the easiest diesel engines to start by hand.

no don't shut it off

Holy fuck lol I just can't stop laughing

Please don't call it a Lister, it is an inferior copy. This is no more a Lister than an Ambassador is a Jaguar, or an Enfield India is a Royal Enfield. If you want good quality, you have to pay. If you buy a poor quality imitation of the real thing, then be prepared for trouble.

Such a pity. These clones just does not run the same, or as easily as the good old lister CS engines.

It looks like your compression is down,have you check to see what it is?You would have better luck if your running about 19 to 1.A simple fix would be to shave the head to increase it.

Get an ac delco starter generator off old bulldozers and big lawn tractors, I'd take that one back because that should start better.

never start out pushing down on the crank its a good way to break your arm alwase pull up

This engine's got problems, it should start almost instantly, I have a 1939 and 1948 lister 3 / 1 and 6 / 1 which do not have any glow plugs, they start easy on a hand crank, even in freezing weather. In fact i started my 3 / 1 a few weeks ago, it hadn't run for a year, it started no problem.

The definatley has fuel problem, either air in the fuel at the injector or a bad injector. The Lister version when in good order will start first crank in sub zero tempreatures.

I don't think you need electric start. If you had pneumatic tools like a heavy duty impact gun and an air compressor, you could make a special socket that fits the crankshaft and start it that way. That's what I would do.

Did you have a heart attack????

The Spill Timing is retarded slightly -- that also helps with the vibration at the cost of harder starts! Lister say bolt it down to a one ton block of concrete! They are right , I have one ! Cheers Mike

Hummm ! Very interesting ;-)

If you are having problems starting now, wait until this winter. A little cold weather and you may not be able to get it running at all. Suggest you use the glow plug every time you cold start it, wether it is cold outside or not. The colder it is outside, the longer you glow the engine.

Please don't keep calling this a Lister! It's a copy, a 'listeroid', an imitation of the real thing. That dreadful apparatus needs the attention of a competent diesel fitter to sort it out.

OH my God........is that thing a POS ? Watch the other video of people starting Listeroids, they light off with a few revolutions. This engine has some sort of problem. I feel sorry for all your troubles with this inferior brand of engine.

the problem is its a lister clone not a real english lister cs i have been around old 1930-40s lister cs engines never had a problem only old age now but the bloody clone engines wont run as good as a old lister will

there is somthing im missing here is a sigle cyl dissel beter than a single cyl gaser in this sitch theres no turbo for the dissel so i dont think it would be any more efficent than a gaser without the turbo =\
