I just noticed a Stuart Turner diesel for sale locally. Says 1959, twin 2-stroke, 11hp, marine unit with wet sump. Anyone know whether this should be touched with a barge-pole (I new a yachtsman once who reckoned Stuart Turners were best used as anchors - not sure which model he had, but his boat was 1958 !), any info on the web ?

If you don't want it, could you pass the details on to me please? I've always rather fancied one of those just as a toy.
Cheers Tim
Have done some more research and think it must be the H2M. A bit of a lump compared to what I am looking for - e-mail me and I'll send the contact details. There's one rebuild and another for spares, and it says 'offers'.

I once heard one in a narrowboat - it sounded great! (and of course, they were used in tractors as well)

It's in this week's Buy Sell. I was going to buy it but managed to talk myself out of it :-)

Interesting engine, this one sold recently on ebay to give you an idea of the 'going rate' (if there is such a thing for for something which comes up for sale so infrequently):-
BTW. I was saddened to read in SEM that David Pickop of Fairways Marine has passed away - he was always very helpful, often volunteering information from the original S-T dispatch books if he saw an engine number mentioned on the marine engines discussion board.

I have a manual for the H2M/H2MR.I recently scanned it and now have it in Pdf format. Copy available on request f.o.c. Mike.H. Stuart info is now on more to follow
Pictures of our one are on the website, quite a complex little beastie with pressure scavenging via a pair of side-mounted pistons driven off an eccentric.

So did I Julian (after seeing the weight of it), and passed the details on to Tim - but it was a close call - it is an interesting engine (or rather - pair of engines, there being two advertised, one built, and one for spares).

Would that be Turner rather than Stuart-Turner? They made single and V twin SEs, V4 tractor engines (Yeoman of England) and a two-stroke triple of German origin used in early Land Rover diesel conversions - probably others too.

Yes - I'm talking about Turner engines.
