I've only found an ocassional photo of a Stuart pump via search engines using various Stuart related phrases. Generally they are amongst photos from stationery engine field days. I presume yours is a piston pump - either a Type A or the earlier Type D. I have a one page brochure dated 1949, but it doesn't identify the engine model - either an R2 or R3. I have a list of ranges on engine numbers for each engine model and the related manufacture period. I presume that it covers all the engines whether used for marine or stationery engine application. It shows that the R2s were manufactured over the period 1934 to 1971. In the 1970's Stuart Turner Limited ceased manufacture of the marine/stationery engines and just concentrated on their range of modern pumps - per the website link in the earlier posting. I don't have much more. I'll post a photo of the piston pump from my brochure tonight. |

davdeborg, I believe that fairways engineers maintains a list of Stuart Turner serial numbers. They used to provide the original details based on your serial number for a small fee if you mailed them the information. I don't know how or if they do it anymore. |

I have a list of ranges of engine numbers and related range of years of manufacture for each model. However, Fairways have the manufacture records etc for each engine that was manufactured by Stuart Turner Limited. I've been told by more than one source that there is a small charge for such an enquiry unless you are buying some parts. Your engine number 37509 falls with the range of engine numbers 30000 to 38899 that were manufactured during the period May 1934 to March 1958. If one assumes that equal numbers were manufuactured each year I estimate that yours was manufactured in the early 1950's. Of course this is a very rough estimate - a bit harder than most of the other models as they had a lot of different ranges for shorter durations as there were variations for those other models. Other info from the brochure is that the A type pumps are suitable for suction lifts up to 25 feet. The A6R2 works at 240rpm and delivers 360gph and sold for 39 pounds 10 shillings in 1949 (date of my brochure). It was advertised as being quiet running - an important feature for domestic applications. My brochure is a photocopy - a bit grainy - but I'll scan it for you and send via email tonight. If you come acorss any other info I'd appreciate you keeping me in mind. Also, there will shortly be a Stuart article by me appearing in the UK Stationery Engine magazine. PS: I'll send the list of serial numbers to Andrew for future posting on the website. |

Hi Tony - Timing your R2; stamped on the periphery of the flywheel you'll find 'TDC'; a little way round from this mark (about 1 1/2") you'll find 'M' or 'Mag' stamped - with this mark uppermost & on the cylinder's centre-line, you want the magneto points to be just opening (with a Lucas SR1 or a Wipac A). To do this, prise off the little steel cover to the lefthand side of the flywheel & slacken the magneto drive sprocket to the point @ which it pops off the magneto taper. Set the 'M' / 'Mag' mark uppermost on the cylinder centre-line & rotate the magneto 'til the points are just opening - nip up the mag sprocket & double check the timing - if all is well, fully tighten & replace the various covers. If not, repeat the process. Hope this helps. Regards, H. |

Hi, First, excuse my English (I'm French. Everything happens.) I have a Stuart Turner R3M powering a small boat, and its head as a crack... Is there a chance to find a head (and head gasket) ? Thank you in advance for your answers. P.S. I wonder if the manufacturer is http://www.stuartmodels.com/ or http://www.stuart-turner.co.uk/ ? |
