Why does the battery of my Lister Petter TR2 Engine require excessive amounts of water?
If your Lister Petter Engine's battery needs excessive water, it could be due to a leaking battery case (clean the surrounding area and replace the battery), a defective battery (test or replace the battery), or a battery charging rate that is too high (check the alternator output or battery charging system).
Why does my Lister Petter TR2 stop?
Your Lister Petter Engine might stop due to several reasons. Lack of fuel is a primary suspect, so check the system and refill the tank. Air or water in the fuel system can also cause this, requiring you to prime or drain, flush, refill, and prime the fuel system, respectively. Other potential causes include a choked fuel or air filter (replace or clean them), overload (reduce the load), or overheating (refer to the overheating section). Loss of compression (check piston rings and valves), loss of electrical supply to the fuel pump solenoid (check the electrical feed), or automatic shutdown due to protective devices (investigate and rectify the cause) can also be responsible.
