Tony Brooks 2191 Report post #2 Posted June 17 Is the oil level going up and does the oil feel thin & smell of diesel? All those air cooled Listers have a nasty habit of leaking fuel into their oil and that can cause partial seizure that causes the engine to stop when it drops to tickover.

Roxylass 2 Report post #3 Posted June 17 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The next time I came across this problem the engine actually had no oil in it. That was several years ago and as far as I know the owner is still happily chugging about with it 😀 Robust engines them.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
