Dear sirs As a member of the association for preserving old classic boats for everyman use here in Sweden I would like to know if you can help me.
Our aim is to preserve and renovate old wooden boats used by the people here in Roslagen. Roslagen is the part of the Sweedish archepelag north of Stockholm.There are more than 10000islands in this area and traditional boats have been used for fishing and transport between the islands and many of the islands had one ore more boatbuilders and the boats had a big variation depending on what purpose they had.
My problem is that I have to rebuilt a Stuart turner motor so we can use it in a smaller fishing boat.
The motor is in a good condition and the quality of the motor is good but the water pump is missing and I am not sure that the carburettor is complete. There is no type number on the machine but on the "manual" on the brass plate on the cylindrical petroltank the type LO-3 and LO-3H is mentioned.
I would like to know whwre I can get more information about this motor so we can get it working again it is in parts now.
Karl has sent some additional information / questions / photos:
