I've noticed again recently that Stuart Turners had an odd way of going about things. Having just sold my two P55 marine engines with high chain driven hand starting, I remembered that there is an electric start version with a special crankcase half with a piece designed to carry both electric starter & 12 volt dynamo.
My point is that the electric starting crankcase casting is a special & must have cost a fortune to make up. How many engines were produced I wonder & what sort of profit margin did ST run on? They were in business for a long time & were a diverse and innovative bunch.

Kim Siddorn.
- who would like to find an ST flat twin ;o))
