Petter A & W Type, Photos please....

Not entirely alone, Martyn. I've got an ex Admiralty Petter A1 and can tell you it is the easiest of all my larger engines to start and run. Turn on petrol, clip choke into the on position, lump it over compression and it will always fire and run at the second compression.

I like them, nice bits of kit but rather ignored so far, but "coming up the pipe" as they say.

Kim Siddorn

Diplomacy done, plates spun, fires fought, maidens eaten - well, three out of four ain't bad

I'll winkle one out and scan it for you tomorrow. I'm knackered now Roland

There was a good Petter A SEM article with some old photos in it some while ago. I'll see if I can find it tonight.

Regards, Arthur G (another one of those secret Petter A owners)

Martyn If you will confirm whether you are on broadband I'll send you a few scans as a sneak preview of some material I was loaned by a kind friend. In due course I hope all the material will end up on Internal Fire. ttfn Roland

yea im on blueyonder broadband,

Martyn

any pictures welcomed!

Gentlemen,

I am now the proud owner of a Petter AI which I fetched last week, needs some work but is free and complete.

That's three of us then. Any more out there with Petter A1s ?

Regards,

Kim Siddorn

Martyn

PS are u saying ur engine is free to whoever wants it to, u got it for free in a bad condiditon? Martin

I think Martin means free as in not siezed :-) ttfn Roland

Roland is correct, not seized.
