Lister JP3M available spring 2019

Hi,

 

I plan to remove 'Misterton's; JP3M this winter so that we can replace it with the JK4 and gearbox I've been working on. Its a complete, working engine, that starts first time (as long as the engine room temperature is above freezing!) by hand, there is no electric start. The dry sump oil tank has been replaced with a stainless steel one, using the original Lister filter screens and access hatches. Its scruffy, despite being re-painted a few years ago. There is plenty of background information on this forum and on our barge's website. This engine was only the second one 'Misterton' has had and was installed in 1984 at Waddington's yard in Swinton. It saw commercial use on the Humber for a decade after that. 

 

I'll advertise it officially when its out, but thought anyone seriously interested might want to see it in situ before then. We've just come back from 10 days out on the Norfolk Broads where it performed without problem. If I was keeping it I'd want to check the big end bearings etc.

 

I'll be asking £3.5k with the 2:1 Blackstone reduction box included. 

 

Mods, if this is too much like an ad, please remove.

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

Here is a video of it starting a couple of years ago and here is one of it going along the river

 

That's the best bit of "engine porn" we've had on here for a while. I'm not in the market, but thank you for posting the videos.

Just that it seems to be a common thing to replace on these, you can hear a knocking sound at times.

When its ready to come out I'll post up another video with some more detail.

It sounds very healthy in the river video, firing very evenly under load.
