Hello all,
A few months aga i found this tiny engine and as far as i can see it must be a Stuart. But that's really all i know about it. I searched the internet (maybe the wrong places) but found no information at all. So if anybody can help me i would be very glad.
The engine is only about 20 cm's high, so it could well be a model. It's water cooled and has an oil drip fuel mixing system (see foto)
Greetings from Holland,
Ron  |

I don't know anything about it, but I wish it was in my shop. Nice find. |

I seem to recall that Stuarts produced castings for a small ic engine as well as their range of steam engines. |

Ron ...looking through a very old cataloge that i have which shows a range of Stuart engines both petrol and steam I see that your little engine very much like some of those shown. If you can believe what is written about them then they were truly amazing little machines. For instance one is belted up to provide 300 watts . I will send you an image of the set . Unfortunately there is no date at all on this publication |

Definitely a Stuart "lightweight".I would guess pre 1930.
Very envious
