Hi All, I've purchased a Lister TS2 engine to replace the original ST2 engine which was seized. I've located two sensors on the engine. One is the air temperature sensor and the other is for the oil but could please advise if it is for oil pressure or oil temperature? I also require a control panel and was wondering if these sensors can be wired to gauges rather than just warning lamps? Also, could anybody recommend a supplier for a control panel? Ideally, I'd like the following: Keyed Ignition Switch Tachometer (engine revs and hours run) Battery Voltage Gauge Oil Pressure Gauge Air Temperature Gauge Thanks in advance.

Hi, I think I have introduced some air into my system and I could do with advice on how to bleed it to get the engine running on 2 cylinders. I have read through some old posts and I have done the same as this ...... dietaylor87 said: - we turned off the fuel lines as there was a tiny drip, but have opened them up again now. I think this is the problem. By closing the fuel valve from the tank, you made the fuel system on the engine a closed system. If you did that when the engine was warm, then as the fuel in the pipes cools it shrinks, and the pressure in the pipes drops. That turns the "tiny drip" from something that lets diesel out, into something that lets air bubbles in. Air bubbles in diesel pipes stop engines. To get the engine going again, you need to bleed the air out of the pipes, and to avoid a repeat, don't close the fuel valve, and preferably fix the leak. I don't know the details of bleeding an SL3, not hopefully someone else will be along with those soon. MP. ......The engine will start but I can feel the right hand cylinde exhaust is getting hot whereas the left hand is not. I’d like to have a go myself so any advice from the knowledgeable would be much appreciated. ( ...and yes I’ll fix the leak from the day tank !!) Thanks Nev
