kev

P5M or the Industral Version? (6 bolt or 4 bolt head?)

Cant see pictures in work

Cheers Steve

looks like it has 3 bras nuts steve.iv got to pick it up tomoz.its sat in reading at the moment.

Will be 4, they didnt make a 3 bolt head on the water cooled 2 strokes.

Like this one?



They are a bit heavier then the R3, wouldn't like to carry one to far! also a bit bigger, I have a P4 on cast base, they need a good mag otherwise they are next to useless!

Cheers Steve

if it comes to it steve ill nick one of the mags andrew redun for me.for it.but the bloke i got it from has told me it was a runner when he took it out of his boat.if i have no joy with it then ill break it for parts or see if i can do a swap with dave or any one els for a smaller lump.wot is that little purple thing you got steve.trollys nout hour at the most.for some thing this small.

Dont go breaking a indutral P5, not as many about as the P4.

The purple one is a Scott, about the same size as a P5 but the as heavy as a R3, there is about 20 known but have been up for sale lately around the £200-£300 mark.

Cheers Steve

Dave thats a P5M with gearbox 6 bolt head with watercooled exhaust, I couldn't lift one on my own!

Cheers Steve

this hasent got the gear box on steve it seemed to have a clutch at some time i have some parts in a ice cream tub.

P5MC then, marine sailing clutch.

Cheers Steve

ill go take some pics in a bit show you steve.ther has been a bad atempt at a repair for the water jacket silencer bit.but ill sort that out with the wellder.nothing like welding a bit of cast.

Liquid metal mate, much safer, my Stuart N was frosted, and welded back up quite well.



It was covered in filler but I like battle damage, shows the history of the engine.

There a nice little engine if you can find one! I paid £125 for mine as a runner.











and for a idea of size, this is how I bought it.



Cheers Steve

here you go for every one to see my other pet.but i mite trade it in for some thing els along with some cash.















hope steve can id this engine for me.as ther is no id plate on any ware.the needs a rubber or hard plastic bit to in between the mag & the engine.or could i put a sprocket on the mag & have a chain drive.over to you steve.

Will have to wair to morning, pic blocked in work, from what I have see and read I would say its a P5MC, which is a marine unit with a centrifugal clutch, AFAIK they were fitted with an impulse magneto.

Cheers Steve

It looks similar to the one that I had Steve, except mine had the clutch brake fitted and maybe the carb is slightly different although mine was stripped when I got so cant be certain. A SR1 with impulse was fitted to mine.

Pete.

the mag i have with it is a wipac series a.with inpuls on it but i was wonder if i could change it over to chain drive.

Dave i have a really good spare wipac with impulse if you need it ...

pm inbound matt.

Why would you want to do that? Impulse makes it easier to start them, they can be bastards!

i see now steve all i need is the little bit that fits in between the engine & the mag then.

cant you adapt a petter or wd coupling .....?

Yea, I suspect you know a Man with some ST spares...

Here is a P6 (same a P5 larger output)



Cheers Steve

P5’s can run quite nice indeed!

Cheers Steve

so is the p5 the waight as the p6.

AFAIK, will need to read up on the P5 Manual as see if there is anything in there, been a while since I had a marine P5.

Cheers Steve
