Why buy an engine such as this now when there are smaller more modern engines with far more horse power? That said the Lister 12/2 is a beautiful engine and always will be.
Smaller engines have to run faster to get more horsepower, and running faster causes faster wear. It's a tradeoff -- I'd never consider one of these for a motorcycle, for example, but for home power or charging home power batteries, I do have one. They can be very reliable.
They could become the heart of an electricity/heat co-generation unit providing off grid light and heat to a remote location using waste cooking oil as fuel. Over the years I have given this way too much thought but life did not provide the opportunity.
It is a new old stock engine , I bought it a as piece of history and it was an extremely rare opportunity.
At low rpm the sound reminds me of a old two cylinder John Deere. I would love to find an engine like that one.
I know where there is one that needs to be rebuilt
@@jake65mm31 I would be interested in the unit you speak of. Please email the details to mxr618@gmail.com. Thanks!

☝️, and efficient in comparison to the 3600 rpm screamers. I’d love to have one.
indeed, because they last 10x longer more fuel efficient more reliable..by a LOT
