great scott!
Well I done it again on my hunt for a centrifugal pump I managed for find another Scott, this time a pa.
A very interesting stroker that came out of ww2.
So I now have a hopper cooled, tank cooled and air cooled 2 stroke , now that pump lol.
Cheers Steve

Re: great scott!
Steve your getting worse Nice looking engine to good not to grab, pumps next left , I'm sure you'll find something unusual, you seem to be lucky in that department or know where to look.

Thanks Stu, Its a Case of asking the right questions
No more engines now..Been warned, well got to wait until my son turns 1 dont know if that included pumps....
my T300 is on perminant loan to my uncle, who is also member on here Chyangwel. and my tank cooled WX11 is off on Sunday.
Got to find a centrifugal pump to create load on these strokers, I may know where there is one, and there is one on ebay, but that might go for silly money, I might sell my domestic pump as its not great for adding load, but my grandad bought it me, and as he has now past on got a bit attached to it, as you can see I have had it a few years!

Re: great scott!
Steve can you not reduce the pipes on the domestic pump to add pressure, that would help to load it up.

Re: great scott!
Here is some of its interesting features.
The PA stationary engine however was different. Designed to meet a Ministry requirement for a portable electrical generator for the Bofors anti-aircraft gun and its Kerrison Predictor, it was produced during the Second World War by both Scott and its former partners Jowett. It was air cooled, petroil lubricated and featured a loop scavenge design with two opposed main transfer ports supplemented by a third "boost" port opposite the exhaust. This arrangement was patented by Scott in 1939, but is often mistakenly believed to be of post-war origin as it was later widely adopted for motorcycle racing engines and power boats after its "reinvention" in the late 1950s by East German motorcycle manufacturer MZ.
And this is also Quite interesting
the induction cooling is fairly novel too, with almost the entire engine encased in a cowling. The casting around the cylinder has fins on the inside which mate with the cylinder fins creating a very rapid and efficient air flow between the two matching pieces. Air is drawn down from the top of the cylinder and expelled through the flywheel, instead of blown over. The exhaust system also deserves a mention and is designed for exceptional quietness. There is an expansion chamber immediately adjacent to the exhaust ports, from which two exhaust pipes run to the hollow chassis cross member, which is a second expansion chamber. This in turn communicates with two more hollow chassis members which act as silencers and also the bedplate for the unit, it is quite unusual for the engine to retain this exhaust system as it is normally butchered off to make them easier to move. so feel quite luck to have a complete one.

Re: great scott!
You found a good un Steve well done.
I have to say there's no getting away from it that the British built great engines lots of thought went into them loads of great ideas, yes some didn't work out but on the whole the British engine (have to add motorbike) builders were some of the best in the world. What a shame we lost them all except a handfull.

Atleast im not the only one that finds its design quite interesting! Its quite a ugly beast but I think thats why I like it
Quite happy that we beat the Germans to the boost port design just a shame that MZ get the credit!
Its also a shame the handful left are owned by jolly foreigners.

Re: great scott!
It's not ugly just usual which I like, they always draw a crowd on the field more then can be said for the popular engines that's around.

Re: great scott!
Well I have another Scott in my shed (not 100% if its a PA or PAB?) but here is the pics:
Few close ups of the exhaust system
I think its a Marmite engine with the looks, but its such a interesting engine, Phillips article in SEM are well worth a read.

Re: great scott!
Anyway back to the engine
Few close ups, Its a very well made beast, alls seems solid and Squaddy Proof! All the castings seem very good and chunky.
Governor Control
Oil Filler
and sight glass
De-Flooding pull toggle, Not connected at the mo, will need to flip the engine over.
Check out that cylinder head!
and a very well made Cowling.
Cheers Steve
