- A portable Metro 16/1 Diesel Listeroid with a 7.5KW generator head, modified electrical connection, 220VAC/30AMP welder connection, 1998 Mitz thermostat, John Deere 345 garden tractor radiator, 8 gallon fuel tank, temp gauges for coolant leaving the engine and coolant returning to the engine, HOBBS hour meter to be added in place of oil pressure gauge, Summit Racing fan with a 200 degree on / 180 degree off temperature control, 1972 Buick 12 VDC alternator with a turn buckel belt adjustment, Huskee garden tractor battery, CarQuest tension pulley, 8 rib drive belt and oil filter and a Mr. Gasket fuel pressure gauge on the oil line. It is mounted on a 2,000 lb rubber sprung axle with 12" tires, 24" x 48" I-beam frame and LED tail & brake lights. I have the CarQuest part numbers for all of the items used.
Neat piece of kit!!! These Lister's are very robust and durable.
Waaw m the things jumps in to life😊
Nice vid. I have a Power Line Listeroid 6/1 and a 5K gen head. Still working on mounting and hooking everything up.
For those looking for these engines they are being sold as "kits" and you put it together yourself. I've also heard they import them from Canada with the injection parts removed as"compressors" and you get the fuel system separately. They just can't be imported as complete engines.
Is that still true?
@@mainelyelectric Not sure, e-bay is the place to look.
just a suggestion but, when you crank it, it's advisable to keep your thumb the same side of the crank as your fingers. As you do it, if it does kick back it would break your thumb. Nice engine buy the way
About one quart an hour at half load. Waiting for power failure due to snow fall soon to see how long the 8 gallons will last. We get about 101 inches a year for snow, but way behind this year.
Fantastic, I've never seen a cs do a wheelie before!
Seriousley though, nice set up, looks and sounds great!
LincTexPilot, Thanks for the advice. I will put a brace on the pipe leaving the thermostat, but the water pump pipe is short. I will look around next time I run the generator for things that wiggle. Thanks again!
It did a wheelie!! My mates CS doesnt do that. Nice to hear the dynamo running.
Nice job. Have not put my genset together yet but the engine is the same as yours.
This is a very nice build. Good job!!!!
That's a real nice and well thought out Build.
I would be a bit concerned about all teh vibration though. Well engineered setup just the same.
Oolosoon,
I welded two 4" I beems with 3 1/2" box steel as cross section. It is a custom axle with Goodyear rubber.
@Ooloosoon First, I open the crankcase, cleaned it out, re-did the piping for an oil filter and filled it up with Amsoil Diesel oil. It runs good and I believe it to be of good quality. I only have 10 hours on it, but I'm going to knock my house down and live in a motor home and this will be my power for several days. When I start it now, I clamp it to the John Deere, so no more wheelies!!
You need to add more braces and clamps here, there and about. Anything that wiggles or shakes while the engine runs is bound to crack over time. Replace any solid metal lines with flex lines. Don't have heavy pipe fittings out on the end of any length of pipe. I have learned the hard way that if it wiggles or jiggles AT ALL - - - over time it will break.
Sooo, It was a great build, however some guy in Wisconsin liked it A LOT more than I. This guy drove to my house in Ohio with cash in hand and left with the Lister. I put a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel with a 15KW head on it in my garage to power the whole house during a snow storm. NOT ONE POWER FAILURE YET!! krawl, I'm not sure what the RPM was, around 750 to 800 buy using a reflective tape and timing light RPM meter.
I never saw heavy load. I had a little trouble with fluid level, however no consumption. I really should have locked the trailer to the tractor before starting, oh well it makes for a fun video. I used a mitz thermostat to keep the coolant under control. I have a list of parts I used if you are interested.
Hi, really nice generating set.
Question: I've been trying to find a fuel tank like yours with no luck; where did you buy yours from?
Sweet setup.
16 hp in 1 cylinder? that must be the strongest 1cyl lister available!
how much did it cost?
Nice machine Crash.
Thanks goldie103103 for viewing and responding. I should have put the hitch on the John Deere tractor, but I didn't. Are you a CS owner?
1:18 LOL nice job painting your driveway to match the trailer

@bluemoondiadochi
It was $1900.00 plus $300 shipping to a dock.
What is missing is a good exhaust silencer.
did you order it from outside the US? didn't you have problems with EPA certification?
good job!
Máy no đẹp thật. O Việt Nam không có loại này oke đấy
What's with the dual rat-trap plastic air filter? Deserves a proper Lister oil bath filter?
It is off of a Thermo King refer unit, was later changed to a round paper filter. Thank you for watching.
@@robertgilbert5046 I'm being tongue in cheek on the filter. Listers very addictive, I've a JP1 DC start-o-matic plant, a JP4 20 kVA generator from a WW2 airfield control tower and a 6/1 2.5 kVA Start-o-Matic. Old stock spares are better than new; I bought a new cylinder for the 6/1 that seemed to be a Listeroid product and lacked the chrome plated bore. I did make a silencer from an old domestic fridge compressor at one time, so not really qualified to complain at a plastic air filter!
You want to scream" Its Alive " when it starts up
16 - 1 i never knew they made them that big - is this a stroked and bored Listeroid? It really thumps and spins compared too a mellow 5-1 - thanks for posting
@crash4me719 sorry for the late response - that's really affordable if you consider it long-term, even in my country - dad's truck would fix the delivery!....
thanks!
No, I have some petrol listers though like Lister Ds and As.
Have you measured fuel consumption at a specific load. I have imagined a configuration like this. Where did you get your engine and ST head?
@kobingsmark yeah but they still last 20,000 miles like that haha.
Thanks, not, I don't have a CS but I do have a 1941 Lister d type and a Wolseley wd8 from 1950.
What did u do for a governor??? Or does it already have one?? Has to have something to maintain sperd while under a load...
Are you using this still or did you sell it? How did or does that little radiator work out?
ahrite dang it where did you get this Lister man? Seriously! I gotta have one. I'm getting off the grid if it kills me. I'm sporting half a chubbie watching you run that thing..peace
Would you have a parts list or build plans?
Hello
I am adjusting the temperature controls of my powerline 12/1.
A question : after use, what about a feedback on your temperature control choices. no problem with heavy load, no water consumption or steam exhaust ?
maker says we should not feed the motor bottom inlet with temp higher than 60° celcius. if you have a pump, the water does circulate and be evenly everywhere in the system at the same temp.
any feedback on water matters on your system ? thanks

Nice build, what rpm is that engine?
I would put a couple of adjustable legs on the back to take the weight off the tires. You actually loose a little power letting it bounce. Plus it can cause the governor to be erratic when the shaking changes with load. I started out with rubber mounts and switching to solid made a huge difference.
I own a 12/2 and would like to install it permanently someday. I would like to bolt the 6x6’s it’s sitting on to my concrete floor would it be ok to put little squares of 1/4 inch or so rubber pads under the bolts of the 6x6’s?
@@mainelyelectric You want these engines mounted as solid as possible. A typical 4" concrete floor will probably fail. That base I had went 2.5' into the ground. 72 bags of concrete, not a fun day. Rubber will absorb some of your power strokes and cost you power. I was warned not to use rubber mounts and they were right. Surprisingly it's a much sweeter machine bolted solid.
Is this really a 16/1 or is that an error
Looks like an 8/1
It was a 16/1, however I have since sold it to a Wisconsin resident.
@@crash4me719 , wow those things are normally 6/1 or 8/1 max!! How did you screw 16HP out of it?
@@HoseysUtube 16/1 is the way I purchased it from the supplier in the State of Maine. It was trucked to Ohio and had a very large piston.
Arent those illegial in the states now?
Not to own, but illegal to import.
@@PeterLawton I have heard that you can still get around the import issues by buying one that is not setup with a fuel system acting like a compressor and all you have to do is order the fuel system and install it your self! Lol
hello sir this engine brand name
Metro
dat bouncing doesnt look good!! i want to install it on a boat!
First, A red driveway is always in style! Second, I got it out of the state of maine. Third, justaman6972 I'm not sure where you are located, but I would be willing to sell the 16/1 as it sits on the trailer. contact me at crash4me@gmail.com

Awesome set-up!! Great Lister diesel engine! I really want a small diesel engine to tinker with!!
Nice set up. 5*
