Stuart Turner R3MC "Operation Brasso" :D

Just picked up my project all seems to be there apart from some small bits.

will need a new set of points, piston rings and maybe some bearings its a little cruchy, will see when i get her stripped.

Yay got something to play with











Cheers Steve

ive never seen one before, there is alot of brass, remember sour milk lol

Its the same as my old one



Little bit of work to get it running but will keep me happy for a while!

Cheers Steve

how big is it roughly, is it similar size to a petter A

No way off there only about a foot high.



Cheers Steve

Very nice little purchase!

Are you pleased with her?

Adam

I like that engine, theres plenty of elbow grease required before a rally.

Good buy wish i could get one of them.

Paul

Started to make some head way on the Stuart,

got it mostly stripped just having a little trouble getting the crank shaft out of the other half of the crank case.

all seems to be ok with it, gave the bearings i can get to a clean and they seem fine.

only seems to need a piston ring well and starting handle.















Very please so far thanks Adam, was the 2nd choice after the Bernard but i can get parts easer etc, plus I love how simple 2 strokes are

Had two quotes for rings dearest at £12 + vat so not as bad as i though, and £20 for a Gasket set.

Now to start cleaning and polishing.

Cheers, Steve

WOW!

You aint hung around!

Must say i do like 2 strokes although they can be tempermentle at times lol!!

I would love to own one of these one day and i do know of one so maybe i will invest in summer

Cant wait for the progress to come

Adam

Thought best to crack on ,

trying to decide if the water tank i got my eye on will be big enough, will hold over a gallon so should be ok, plus its brass/copper

I think im going to put a break on it to load it up enough to run proper.

Will hopfully get it stipped and painted in primer by the weekend, dont hold me to that though.

Cheers, Steve

May have gone a bit over board on the brass!!

Should be big enough should hold just over a gallon.

at least i find polishing brass therapeutic

Cheers, Steve

It's catching.....................................

regards

Mart (Brasso)

time, going to be great once finished

I like to have all that needed there so I can just crack on, I hate waiting for bits. spotted a compete Jap 2a flywheel on flebay, should sort out the points and condenser, and coil ( coil might not be needed) couldn't quite afford a new one from Villiers Parts £55 for a coil, I didn't pay much more then that for the engine lol. see how it goes.

Cheers Steve

i can ask him for you, what is the mag make and model

Its a Wico MF i think hasn't got a serial number stamped into it, the internal are the same as a JAP 2A,
Who is it your ringing, Terry Julieff Up Newlyn East advises in the KOVC book is very good with mags, doesn't do flywheel ones though .

Cheers Steve

if anyone has that other chaps number can they PM me it, as ill ring him for a price

Kerwin used to be dear from what I remember, I will see if I can dig out a KOCV mag when I get home. Terry's a nice bloke bit of a engine hermit and very quite.

Cheers, Steve

ill give him a ring tonight

Terry worth it just for the visit to his house lol, when we picked up the Sattley it was sat just in the front door next to a complete Norman T300 Genny set and a Alco Feaher weight as a door stop lol.

Very smart man, though talking to hims like getting blood from a stone! my granddad rings him every week just to keep in touch.

Terry's the Short one



Cheers Steve

if im corect lol

Yea Kerwin, that at the KOVC show, not sure on a year 2000 ish.

CHeers Steve

looks nice weather aswell lol

Thought i would take a pic while the drill was recharging.

Before:



After:





The Stuart Carb, quite simple really.



Looks like its had a hard life, few bent bits, but if its going to work il keep it as is, adds to the Character.

Cheers,Steve

Think im just about finished with the Carb, dam rough casting its a bugger to clean.









Cheers, Steve
