Thanks for the input. Have gone with the measure the rigging idea. As stated it may not have standard rigging. It does however have a factory fitted lister diesel engine. Does anyone have any information on these engines? Have not yet had it going but it turns over freely and decompression lever seems to be working. There is a place for a starter motor but it has been removed so it's a crank handle at the moment
Just doubled the value of your Hood 23! I used to drive motor cutters in the navy that had 3 cylinder Listers. very heavy slow running units. Stick up some photos when you get a chance. I would like to see what it looks like. Plenty of old blokes about that get their jollies from old motors like that.
