unknow pump

got this little brass pump.i dont know who made it.but its nice.
thinking of puting it to run with my stuart turner engine.

Dave what is the part from the tap outwards about ....? i cant seem to figure out what it would do .... as i can see its a centrifugal impeller pump with inlet and outlet either side of body . but thats it . pretty basic to be honest .

that bit on the end was a large bullet head.that got milled out then drilled to take the bit of pipe.i stuck in on a 5hp petter at 2000rpm i got bloody soked.

i thought maybe it was for priming?

i agree it looks like you fill with water though it then turn the tap of and then run the pump
pre wetted to start the suction off
like on my large centrifugal pump i run with MY LISTER A

thats quite plausible ... i thought it might be a drain but not with the cup part on it .

matt

thats wot i did with that end used it for primeing.

so its best used with pipes fitted then that are facing away from you then dave lol
sounds like its got good output flow then ???
sounds like it will get rid of unwanted pets and children then from a distance lol

Very nice looking pump shame about the alloy pulley, that will shine up nice for the rally field.

Ooooh, look at all that brass. I could spend hours with my Dremmel polisher on that.......

a up dans got a fetish..lol.is wot it could do with is rubbing down to take all the pitting out the body make it smooth.well im not going to use it now as iv got another idea for st engine.it will be all on a very little trollyhidden water tank think the fuel tank mite be hidden as well apart from the fuel cap.

forward thinking on the trolley design and going for a steamline finish
i like it mate sounds a good idea to me
cant wait for the photos to start rolling in of the stuart pumping set up trolley
good look
