Small, cheap diesel?

Big monster flywheel, hand start, reliable. the Lunenburg make-and-break was a one-lunger. pretty sure it was gasoline. there may be some still around. too bad for LS they'd be found on the east coast. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

I should never have sold it. I am checking eBay regularly for old Listers but rarely see them. I want one too just to build a boat around, love those engines. Jacques http://boatplans-online.com Does it have to be diesel? I have a 5 hp hercules gas, throttle governed, hopper cooled engine of early 1920's vintage. It weighs about650 lbs, but it goes Chunka......chunka.....chunka.....at about 650-700 rpm. -- "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" |

I have a Lister GK-2 hopper cooled engine tucked in a crate for some future project. Can be radiator-cooled by adding a pump.Twin cylinders, runs on petrol or kerosene, 10 HP at 1000 rpm, 15 @ 1500. Biiiiiig heavy flywheel. Currently needs a new valve guide, rebore/resleeve and new rings. One of these days... Peter Wiley |

you might try an old Easthope one lunger. like some of the others it will
burn gas, oil, diesel, castor oil, and i am not sure but i think it might even burn water once started ;-) they are a little hard to find these days but were great old engines brian |
