some nice engines you have there the lister A is looking far more complete since i last saw it

have you even had it running , i dont tend to be on the other forum much these days .

Regards , matt

Yer had it running but having a few snags ie it sounds like a bucket of frogs and not a dawn chorus so still some work to do

At least u have it running mate mines been ok since i have cured the valve tapped problem .... only thing is that it is not running as smooth as it should do . The mag i have got has a intermittent spark it sparks around 5 times then misses the next few and fires for a bit then misses so i have a hit and miss Lister A Just need to have a new coil in the mag . Need to pop down to Bristol to see Martyn at vintage magnetos for a new coil and should be ok after that . but it still runs well even the mag has problems .

might be me thinking it should run alot smoother as used to modern engines that dont miss

nice engines ther abes like the blacking look is that stove blcking.

nice finish on those........... i like it, do you have to strip the old paint off first?

Thanks for the comments, have been done with grate blackner, and yes every thing has to be stripped back to bare metal and wire brushed so that there's no paint residue left

What do you use to strip the paint with, if you don't mind me asking.

Loads on Nitromors, elbow grease and wire brushes and keep repeating till all removed and just left with bare metal, dont forget all the corners and hidy holes

Abes, looking at the pics of your A to me it looks like the spring on the throttle linkeage is far to tight and the govenor rod/ throttle rod dont look right compared to what mine were, it may just all need setting up and adjusting,

Abes look at the difference in this set up on my old engine, and this ran lovely, like i said ill come over and have a look for you
