Slow-Turning Lister Type 6,600 Watt Diesel Generator with Electric Start - Start it once with electric start and you'll never hand crank start a Lister again! With a 12 VDC electric starter, starting the Lister Type diesel generator has never been easier! And the first time you hear it run that's it...you're hooked forever!
This unit's simple, tried-and-tested design is known worldwide for its extreme simplicity, ease of starting, remarkable fuel economy and reliability.
Features a 1000 RPM 12HP Lister Type "Cold Starting" diesel engine w/ indirect injection, replacable cylinder liner, cast iron piston, counter balance weights (CBW) on the crankshaft, lubricating oil pump, tapered roller bearing mains, exposed push rods, muffler, oil bath air cleaner, fuel filter, high compression change over valve (for easier starter), belt tensioner, heavy steel skid frame, water-cooling, 12 VDC alternator for battery charging, battery tray and cables and turn-key electric start with running indicator light and 12 VDC battery gauge. COOLANT TANK, STAND AND VIBRATION MOUNTS ARE OPTIONAL.
Changing water density drives the coolant circulation. As the water inside the water jacket of the engine heats up, its density drops. The changing water density drives the coolant circulation. The low-density water rises up and out of the engine through the upper coolant hose. Cooler water from the tank, acting as a non-compressible fluid is then pulled into the engine through the lower coolant hose, similar to a gravity-feed siphon.
