All I know at the moment is that it supposed to be a 1916 3hp open crank petrol/parrafin........manco?????

I know what it is.... Its brilliant!

But I cant help identify - I'm no specialist:) - Although it does look Amanco like...

Keep us informed - it looks great.

Hi Hamish...yup your are correct...amanco chore boy...in bits at the moment and primed awaiting painting but engine is complete except for a fuel tank which is in the process of being made...not a bad buy for £400.00....even got a good spark!

nice engine and a bargian - strange to see it with the spark plug.

Hi, Looks like a 3Hp Amanco petrol/ paraffin that has been converted to a hign tension magneto and spark plug.
very good buy. tony

Looks like a 3 Mule Team - Nice project for a good price.
Keith Smigle's site is very good   [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If you click on the link 'Associated Photo Album' you will find all the models listed.

David Edgington's Amanco book is well worth a read, and if you ask nicely he may sign your copy...  http://stationaryenginebooks.co.uk/product/amanco-engines/

Thanks Dave...after a bit of a clean of the brass plate looks like you are right 3mules (for sister Sarah?) thanks for the links...it would appear that the spark plug/mag combo was to try and make starting easier in our slightly damper weather....all cleaned now and in bits ready for its coats of red...just waiting for better shed weather!

no fuel tank yet but one willing helper...started rebuild white paint is undercoat...timing to sort out next

If you are stuck Franks Tanks might be worth a call...
