John......some times we put in a please or even a thank you.
However, A model BM which is a 2.5 BHP single cylinder engine runs at 1000 rpm.This engine has a bore and stroke of 2.75 x 2.75 inches, weighs 195 lbs and cost 122 pounds Stirling in 1960.
The nearest i can get to your 6 1/2 HP engine is the E10 ,this is rated at 10 BHP at 1100rpm ,two cylinders , bore and stroke of 3.5 x4.5 inches, weight 490 lbs and cost 178 Pounds Stirling in 1960.
There is a 5 BHP engine ,the Model A, but it is a single cylinder .
There are a series of vaporizing oil engines ranging from a 4 to a 16 BHP.
All manufactured by Brit Engineering Co Ltd ,Bridport ,Dorset .
Hope this helps you . |

Hello everybody.
I have an engine pretty similar to the boards logo engine but with a pan underneath.
It is 2.5 hp /1000 rpm two-cycle with a bosch
magneto co-coupled to the water pump with a middle gear behind the cylinder .Its built in 1957 .The carburator has the letters ACJ on it.
Please can any body recognize this motor?
I cant find nothing else written on it! |

Hi. I've just acquired a Brit Sprite to use in an Invicta 26. Please can anyone tell me the operating rpm, and/or advise on prop size for a <3ton long-keeler? Also might a kind contributor e-mail a parts diagram/list and any other useful info please. |

A head gasket for a Brit engine
Not very likely people have it spare, but in most cases it can be made easily. You need a peace of special iron reinforced and asbestholding packingsheat.
Hold the sheat on the cilinderblock and cut the round holes with a light hammer with a round head, making many soft blows in order to forecome damage to the block. This type of hammer you often find in sets for car damage.
To fasten the head again and you are not very experienced you need a moment-wrench to give the right tension to the bolts of the head.
I made one for an Albin engine lying for anchor on a lake. Getting ashore with the byboat and train and taxi to get the piece of packing and lending the hammer and the wrench. The next day we could continue our vacation.
