    New 2.5cc model diesel design and build.

    Ed, as you know I did build one of your engines, and I did get it to run, for a short while. I ended up bending the conrod, as you were probably expecting, due to my use of an electric starter. However, I have just finished making a new rod, and mixed up some new fuel, and it now starts easily...

    ED, I'd like to say I am interested, but it is too small for me! My sausages/fingers are having a hard time manipulating small things these days. Pat(Holly Buddy builder)

    Do you make your own fuel? I have a couple of diesels and would like to make this one. Pat

    WTB used busybee lathe 9 or 10x18

    A little help from a son in law. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I removed as many items as is easily removed.

    Lister CS 6/1 Diesel Engine at 3" scale

    Gus,I can't say for sure how many rpm, but it was slow, about 100 maybe. The lathe has a variable speed, so I adjusted for best cut, least noise!!

    Brian, why did you set the rotary table to 300? I am needing to make some new cams also for the Lister and its sister. Also what increments ,in degrees, did you use?
