[SEL] Lister 5-1 progress/ it's first show

[Jerry Evans]

Hi John,
         Thanks for the pics and links - I have saved them.
         One question. On the inlet port yours has what looks like a 
silencer (and certainly "something" that was never original). Was this an 
"owner added" unit. There is no reason that a "muffler" would not fit here 
and probably work quite well. These engines were never supplied (by Lister) 
with an "air cleaner" - it was an "optional extra".
         I enjoyed your video - especially the part where you added some 
lumber to hold it in place - you obviously did read my original post about 
mine "racing" at it's first start. Quite frightening.
         You should keep these posts "on list" - because they are "engine 
related" and help to keep the lists active - that's what we are all about!!
         I'm taking the liberty of replying to the lists (of course, 
without the attached pics) and not directly to you. The link to Youtube 
will be visible below.

Keep the revs up (or down)
