i think i was the 1st person in 30 years to get it to two stoke propely. I made a new taper neadle adjusting screw to replace the origional plain one, aswith the original, the only time it would 2 stroke was under hevey load (the P5's are rathed at 3 to 5 bhp @ 1000 to 2000 rpm) i also had te remove a sping from the governers as this was giving me head aches. it also gave ma 20 yard walk to fetch the retainer the shaft when in shot out! currently back to running with a Wico mag, as the orignal lucus mag is a bit duff. I did have a BTH mag i was going to fit, but as it wasnt orgional to this engine, i couldnt refuse the price i was offered for it. This and the Ruston AP i am always geting plaged to sell, especialy the stuart. two engines that i will never sell why there is breth in my body. besides, technecly the stuart belongs to the famely so i cant lol. It also wind me up when people try and tell me the stuart is a marine engine, when it clearly is not.

HERE ARE AFEW MORE PICS OF MY STUART P5

My Famileys engines N6021028

BEFORE THE 2004 OVERHAUL, Work took around 18 mounths (do to ofther comitments) but included a new cylender head gaskit, 1 new piston ring (the old one was in 3 parts, but luckly hadnt damaged the bore) wich resulted in a new cyldender block/crank case gaskit, governers rebuilt, magneto replacement, new neadle jet adjusting screw, replacement of the float with a correct stuart type one, new water pipes (much of the old rubber had perished so was replaced mostly with steel 3/4bsp water pipe save for 2 rubber joins to allow for any vibration. also the starting handle dog was remade and returned, trolly put on 4 wheels to aid mobilty, silancer and exhaust pipe decoaked (a filthy job) flywheel rim cleaned up, replacement tank or a more suitable design, with brass 2stroke mixing cap (the old lawn mower one not only looked out of place, but also started to leek and when cleaned up for repair was found to be moth eaten) and just to tart it off a brass band was added to the water tank. more recent work hes seen a steel flat belt pully replace the V belt pully my grandad fitted in the 90's. Think i might have to get it out the shed and try and get it to a few shows next year, as it hasnt been to a show since 2007.

My Famileys engines N6021029

1ST STEASON OUT FOR 12 YEARS IN 2006. AT GILLINGHAM (NORFOLK) RALLY

its early history is unknown, but it is beleaved to have been part of a genurating set, and origonal cooling may have been by radiator. we still have the direct cupple that would have been screwed onto the flywheel, starting being achieved my 12V self starter, or starting handle/ropestart on the other end of the dynomo/genurator. THIS ENGINE IS A INDURSTRIAL MODEL and there for is not fillted with a marine crankshaft, hence it ends inside the govener housing. it has never been fitted whith a water pump for cooling dispite what some "well briefed" engine owners try and tell me. not only is it imposable (no where to mount it!) it would serve no real purpose, as the esxhast pot is not cooled, and deispite whatr these engine men say, is origonal to the engine. the cylender block casting for a marinde P5 is quite diferent, as it the crank case. in fact the only common features on the marine P5 AND INDUSTRIAL P5 is the carb and flyweel. (id had one that was in a terible state, and after dismantinling it to assess for resteration, i desided to sel for spares, so this is how i found out) The engine was purchased at the old WVDPS/NICES Auction that was at Woodton Kings Head in the early 1970's compleatly in peaces, with many parts broken, and just as many missing. Was rallied extencivly by him all over South East England util his death in Nov 1994. The engine now bears a owners brass plaque with his name and old address (C J RIVETT BYGONES HALES) as a tribute to him.
My Famileys engines 07july10
n here it is a few weeks later at the martham carnival, a bit smoky, not becouse i had got the oil/fuel mix wrong, but becouse the oil in the govenerhousimh had started to seem throu the felt seal on the crankshaft. ths has been resolved by a drain beening added tot he coverner housing, and thick gear oil being used.

Hello, I was a good friend of Kenny Stopher's around that time and got him interested in stationary engines. I had my workshop in one of his sheds around the late 1980's and remember most of what he had and where they all went.

Hello, Yes I do! It was sold to Micheal Kendel who lives in Halesworth some years ago now! He is a good friend of mine and I can tell you he sold it on, but at this time I can not tell who to? But I will find out and get back to you in a few days.

Where abouts in the country are you?

Regards

Steve
