I have been looking for an old Diesel Lister generator. I found one, but I'm not going to Las Vegas to get it. If you live closer, this isn't a bad deal.

Lister

George Breckenridge @ utterpower.com would be my
choice for a Lister-oid. English Listers are impossible to
find, and the price is crazy if you should find one.

George finds the good ones in India. Some are good,
some are terrible. Easier to let George do the footwork
and not risk spending money on a bad engine. Also,
George is local. Lives in Renton. I like the 3Kw head.
Almost indestructable. A 5Kw gas Honda is stopped by
his compressor. The 3Kw not only runs the compressor,
but it doesn't even slow-down when the compressor comes online. Here's a link:

Listers...

Going to be harder and harder to get now.

I e-mailed him recently, and there will be no more lister imports, the EPA has made them illegal in the US.
