Lister VA first start in 15 years

I rescued this Lister VA generator set from a local farm building that was being re developed and this was the first start up after giving everything a good check over and lubricating the moving bits. I had to hold the decompression linkage as it is set up to work with the start o matic generator which I do now have working and putting out some power 🛠😀👍🏼
