Tony Brooks Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 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 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 If it keeps doing it see what happens if you try it with the fuel filler cap off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJ Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Are your air ducts present/connected and clear. My old one used to do that when it got a bit warm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
