Lister Engine wanted

[jimbeekeeper]

Hi

If you lot are like me, and have you hives in or around farms, you like to look in the barns.

If any one knows of a (idealy) running/runnable lister engine like below let me know.

It is the WATER cooled ones I am after.

They seam to be 10 a penny for you lot down south, but hard to find up North.

try visiting my friend Ken's website
http://www.powercubes.com/listers.html
- "Mr Lister" - email him, he's a busy fella, and a really nice bloke - he'll point you in the right direction - say "Martin from the Navitron forum" sent you.........

 

[jimbeekeeper]

Thanks Martin.

I know Ken via many Lister forums (AKA Mr Lister) He has a great set-up.

Just braching out in my search.

Ebay is good, but given they weigh about 1 T, local is better.

you could try a free "wanted" ad on the Navitron board - all you need to do is become a member - it's exactly the sort of ad that's encouraged -

Thanks again Martin, but I am also a member on that (your) forum

stick an ad in then - you never know - someone sold one through the board a short while ago - good luck! You never know, the price may be dropping, several mates who've been using chip fat are finding supplies drying up, and not everyone's prepared to go to wood gasification!
