Another Lister generator problem

This may help with the fuel pump.

Update on my dear Lister ST1.
I decided to remove the injector pump myself and take it over to Asher's in Southampton. I am always terrified of dropping one of those tiny circlip things down into an inaccessible part of the engine, but having stuffed newspaper under it, everything came apart far more easily than I thought. Probably not exactly in the right order, but a result.
Having hopped on the ferry and walked to the workshop, the manager came out with the tested ok injector and took away the pump to have a quick look. He came back a few minutes later, and said it looked absolutely fine, in fact, hardly used. He took me back into the work shop, that was like a Tardis. Benches and machinery everywhere, with bits of injectors (some the size of my arm, I guess even the cruise ships need their injectors renovated occasionally). He then explained and demonstrated how easily the pump can get an airlock, allowing some fuel to go through, but not at pressure. with the pump on it's side, he poured some fuel into the fuel intake and pushed the bottom of the pump in with a rod and stuck his finger over the outlet. sure enough, fuel was coming out, but not with pressure. A few more pumps, and hey presto, fuel squirted out at high pressure. Hopefully then, after I put it back together, I will have a result. He did say that it might be worth hooking it up to a temporary supply and pump it through with a hand squeeze bulb, as used on outboard motors. He also hooked up the injector to the tester to show me the spray. impressive. He charged me 30 minutes of labour, which I thought was very generous.

I'll let you know ow this turns out..

Sounds like it wont be long before its back in action.

I'm going to get my one wired back to the Victron system just in case it is needed, getting a new pole mounted transformer fitted to our supply on the 4th December.
