two new projects.

collected these on saturday a lister abl and a 6hp enfield twin.

LISTER ABL.

6HP ENFIELD TWIN.
thanks earl.

Nice, I like the Enfield, 2 stroke arnt they? my Stuart restated my love of flat twins, going to get my T300 up when I next going Cornwall, Water Cooling is overrated

The little listers a nice little thing also!

Cheers Steve

they are two stroke, this one has no spark at the moment but is complete so should no take too much to get it running.
Earl.

the lister is also complete with very good compression it just has a weak spark from standing for so long. i think i will have the mag rebuilt not sure of the HP though.
thanks Earl.

I like the look of the Enfield, looks to be a heavy lump!!!

Good luck with the restorations.

Stu.

its not as heavy as it looks, i can pick it up from the floor and put it on the bench. a lot of it is cast alli.
thanks Earl.

Some ones going to be busy over the next few weeks ,thanks for posting pictures

Thats the weakness with them! ignition system can be a pain in the backside, A few I have seen have been converted to battery coil ignition

Cheers Steve

i'm just waiting for some bits for the mag, the engine is now painted just the exhaust to do.

STU..i get the same thing when i take the morphine.....its not good at all...
mike...

the lister abl is now a runner, i took a gamble on a box of mag parts on ebay, cases, coils, points etc and the first coil i checked was a good one put it straight in and it started second pull. it runs quiet for a small engine.
richard.

Nice one Richard, great to hear you managed to find the parts.

Stu.

finished and running well.

Hi Earl

Dont suppose you ever run your Enfield, thinking about getting one off of a friend which dosn’t have the exhaust or ignition system, just the points, so would need to set up battery coil ignition, didnt know if you had it running? would like to know if they are a absolute pig or not.

Cheers Steve

hello,
i never did get it to run, although i never tried it on a battery and coil. the engine went to a friend of mine in cumbria who has now sold it on.
thanks richard.

Ok Thanks very much, might give it ago as a technical exercise.

Cheers Steve

I see you still got plenty of Blue paint left Richard, looks good

You get it cheaper if it's in a 45 gallon drum, and you know how much them Yorkshiremen like a bargin.

Stu.
