You're much more likely to find a petrol Lister than anything diesel or steam.

A local guy had a couple of small engines and a water pump for sale recently but they needed work. I dont know if he still has them. Scottish Borders, maybe too far away, would need a trailer. I can PM his e-mail address if you want.

A guy I used to work with used to power his saw bench using a peugeot 205 diesel which had a front wheel jacked off he ground and had the belt around it. He used to chuck it in gear and let it just tick over.

I've got an ancient Briggs and Stratton one - got it when i was v. little, started it up, it all went bang, snapped con rod, killed piston, etc.
So stripped it then realised the only place i could get a piston and rings from was America at 3 x the price of the engine.
It's sat ever since. I keep thinking one day i'll get a piston and finish it. It's only been waiting 15 years so far
