Nice engine you’ve got there 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

I'm in Australia and recently picked up 2 Lister D engine, I hope to restore both. My dad picked up a Lister D in the rubbish heap on a farm back in the late seventies.he spent hours getting it going and used it for years doing jobs around the yard from woodcutting to even on a grinder, grinding barley for my pigs. So I have very fond memories of Lister.

Beautiful looking D mate !! 👌 I've got one now at 38yo... I used to restore and show stationary engines and tractors with my grandfather as a young bloke, and the first ever engine I rebuilt with him was a Lister D, so seeing these restored and looked after really makes me happy... Much like old cars, trucks, bikes etc, we are only custodians for these old pieces of history

Top tip, put a squirt of oil into the water before you drain it. It will leave a microscopic film of oil on the internal surfaces of your water passages and protect them from rust 👍

Fantastic ! We just bought one at Newby Hall last weekend. Thanks a lot.

looks stunning

Lovely restoration job

engine makes fire beats🔥🔥

Interesting video you explained the information well 👍

Just the noise makes me feel so warm and fuzzy ha.

Got my grandfather's had it from 9 after he died ,34 years ago sat with it at many shows

Great informative practical and technical video - many thanks!

Great video - I am currently bidding on E-bay for a Lister D Engined motorcycle !. No idea what it will be like but, should provide endless fun ! . . .

What is the water reservoir used for ??? I have seen a Swiss man who used a 1936 lister model on a old bicycle from maybe back in the mid 60s . And he had placed a string of sausages into the reservoir to heat them up 😮 before eating part of one of them . On his bike he had a leather strap , running over the huge flywheel on the lister motor. back to his back tire going over an outer flywheel mounted to the back tire to give power to the back wheel 😮 and it worked perfectly 👍 he was able to travel at about 15 miles an hour . You can see it on KZfaq. Just type in Rat Bike w/Lister D 1936 . It’s really a great video 😁

I was once told they would make a small wire cage to fit in the water tank and boil eggs for breakfast.

Beautiful condition. It runs so well, and it seems quiet but that could just be that the camera or you adjusted the volume. Do you just keep it for fun? Have you thought of anything to use it for?

If it wont start , push down the top of the air inlet to suck more fuel in and then turn it over holding the little button down.

Great vid. I'm thinking of getting one and wonder if two people could lift it into a car?

Always been the cheapest and most available, so far, I am sure they will start running out at some point.
