Thought I\'d give this very recent thread a bump :Giggle (WTF is with my hair?!?)
We moved the engine a couple of years ago to it\'s new home by the barn... gave it a run last weekend...and so by the wonders of Youtube:

And one to show the low idle speed:

Lol, there is a Lister startomatic installed to power the house etc... power cuts are quite common around there :Giggle

Lovely generator Brett 50kva you be able to power the street.
And a startomatic not seen one them in years
Worth a bob or two if it works as it should.

Our engine collection is rather extensive... got a couple of startomatic sets and maybe 50 other engines? (Should probably do some sort of audit)

LOL! He does get approached by the museums for help etc - but I suspect he favours straight talking a bit too much for a successful TV career :Giggle

Another couple of classic "clean" starts
