The two pipes I will be changing are fuel return and the one that comes from the fuel tank to the lift pump will also need olives and fittings or salvage the brass fittings of the old pipes

Engine is lister SR2

Going to renew my fuel pipes would these be the same diameter as brake pipe

I only put Wee Ruby on the hard standing because there is a burn that runs into the harbour during the winter months some really big spates come down it two years ago it took three boats and their moorings all were recovered thankfully i wasn’t one of them

Managed to source one from ASAP supplies instead of the three grease groves this one has a rubber insert with groves all round also been told that the prop shaft could be taken out and reversed dont know if there is any truth in this though let you know how I get on

Last post was meant for two posts up

You jest

Sure that I read on here somewhere should be left in forward but as the norm I will be taking your advice many thanks bizzard

Am I correct in saying that when winterising the gear lever should be left in forward gear gearbox in question lm 100

I shut my eyes when my sr 2 is at half throttle its like nini rossi playing ill silenceo absolutey sublime

Any idea where I could pick one up Steve does it actually look in bad shape

Managed to get the bush off solid brass one inch by one and a half inch four and a half inches long

I will try and get a wee video over the weekend easier for me than trying to type something out

Sorry took the propeller off prop shaft still in position in the boat

The boat in question is a q 18 ft cheverton on a hard standing when I took the prop off with a prop puller i noticed that there was a tiny bit play on the shaft when i gather there shouldn’t be any the engine in question is a lister sr2 with the lm 100 manual gearbox the packing gland was stripped two years ago and new packing in the correct procedure no water dripping from the gland at all as I said only slightest movement up and down side to side

When taking the prop for winter storage noticed a small amount of play on the prop shaft fits onto lister lm 100 manual gearbox read a thread on here that says the prop shaft for the lm 100 diameter is 1.375in are these bearings easy to strip and fit never had to tackle something like this before rather have it done sooner than later also a merry Christmas to you and yours

Thanks tony if it happens again I shall try this Paul J no restriction to the air at all

Hi Tony Oil pressure never moved at all No smell out of the ordinary Oil still shows clean on the dipstick Couple of minutes to tie the mooring lines on turned the key started no problem

Coming back to the mooring today put the revs right down almost idle sr2stopped started first turn when I was going out ignition light went out touch of revs probally a two hour run didn’t go above half throttle carry an aux but still like to know why engine cut out at idle

My mistake bizzard

I shall bizzard you gave me terrific advice on how to make one i have the copper rod and the mecanno pulley wheel just need to find the right sized rubber grommet now

Good advice man of kent and it will be taken

That would be very much appreciated Richard will it have the mounting for the lifting pump as you can see in the pic to the left of the cap thank you for your help

As you know the engine in question is a Lister sr2 marine is this the correct side plate for it it fits perfectly well I acquired a small dipstick from sleeman/hawken maybe see if it fits allthough quite sure that Richard said it was for cement mixer/dumper sure there is a couple of pics of it in another thread I made entitled oil dipstick/dipstick thanks for your help once again mr bizzard

Removed the crank case side plate to drain the remaining oil from the sump where this bolt is screwed on could this be a dipstick holder
