Got Lister?

[krawlr]

If things go smoothly tomorrow morning I'm on my way to pick up this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270268418532&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=017

Building a sound control room at the shop with a "ground" muffler right out side and indoor/outdoor radiator setup.

with 15KW you should be able to power just about anything you want. It would be very cool to be "off the grid" as they say.

Cool! What do you plan to run it on? Just curious.

 

[Papabear]

VERY COOL SCORE

Filtered WMO and probably heating oil if I can't scavenge anything else.

Sounds like a plan!

Check out the military filter he gave me too!

I have lots of learning to do but I'm going to love every minute of it.

Finally got it running today! This was an interesting challenge indeed. I'll be taking care of some minor details tomorrow and shoot some video. Here it is sitting on it's slab:

ooooooooo--the twin--nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did you happen to pull the inspection plate--and check for any sand --or casting flash---

 

[krawlr]

The P/O had already cleaned it out, painted the case inside, polished the crank, and replaced the bearings. I have squared up the rocker faces, resurfaced the pump lifters, and lots of other tid bits. You're supposed to pull the cover and get everything oiled up before you start it for the first time too. I've been in there a few times now.

The rear flywheel started to walk on me at the 5hr mark. I really hate these gib keys I have a new one machined and I'll be fitting it tomorow. That tiny bit of slop made the whole gen frame dance. I knew something had changed and shut it down. Had a mark on the crank and it moved 1/2" onto the crappy Indian key.

Hit the 50hr mark today. Fixed lots of little bugs and I'm very happy with her now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJJqA61yNA Now I'm wanting a single for the house.

vid and nice tour!

Liked that recumbent bike hanging from the rafters

What is the bilge pump for

 

[krawlr]

Bilge pump is for the muffler. The muffler is half a water heater tank buried under ground. It gets full of water when the ground is wet. So darn flat out there nothing drains.
