Hi
What's the thoughts of using a flushing oil on a Lister stationary engine ?
Normally I'd strip and clean everything properly but I was wondering if it's okay to do a engine oil flush on it just to help it along until I have more time to do the job properly.
It's a Lister LD1 and the speed governor is slow to respond to load changes because all the linkages that are splash oiled are covered in sticky old oil.
I'm guessing it won't really help matters and I need to bite the bullet and do the job properly, but I await the forums collective wisdom.
