Hi All,
I'm just starting to have a good look at what I've brought, a P55ME (60B420), replaced in 1963 by a new engine. The boat was built in 1960, don't know the story there, I wonder if the other engine I have was the original? I note that the Solex carb has a spring loaded choke(first time I've come across that), also that there is a spring button on top of the electrics, does this start the engine, by-passing the ignition switch or does it stop it? It all seems to be ST gear, down to the fuel tank and exhaust/stern gear etc.

I also have another engine, in bits, not sure what I want to do with it yet, it looks as though it could do with some tlc.

Not too much work to do, it seems to have been well looked after.
Cheers
Mark
