Both cylinder heads need repairing, one has a crack near the spark plug and the other has a corner missing and lots of corrosion from salt water cooling

I am working on a system for cold starting on paraffin, hopefully to be able to eliminate petrol. Tom

Kelvin F4 petrol paraffin engines for sale via the forum
tom_c replied to FadeToScarlet's topic in Kelvin
Does anyone know what happened to these engines? did anyone buy them? Tom -
I have finally started the strip down and rebuild of a Kelvin F4 petrol paraffin engine, this will be going into the boat to replace the Lister HR2 soon. hopefully I will update this with more photos as work progresses Tom
-
I thought the tug in the second photo might be Progress. Tom
-
I'm fitting an F4 as soon as I've rebuilt it. Just to be a bit different Tom
-
do you have any more information about the K3s? or Photos? Tom
-
Which gearbox does it have? I could do with a kelvin reduction box to fit to an E2 Tom
-
On the larbert i rebuilt recently this plate was bolted to the top of the oven, when i made a new oven I just bolted it to that Tom

The attitude towards motorising butties probably comes from the cut becoming more of a linear council estate than something people should preserve, especially in London. I'm sure a continuous moorer would be able to use the lack of an engine as an excuse to never move. Tom

I would quite happily take on an iron Josher as a butty, i would certainly hate to see these boats recovered then chopped to make motors, too many boats have been lost this way, and I certainly would not chop the back end off one. However cost does play a big part in stopping people of my generation taking on extra financial commitments at a time when many cannot afford a house, never mind another boat. Tom

Not on youtube, facebook Tom

I've got a fowler 2DYM if you'd like a project, 11HP @ 1000rpm Tom
-
I have bits of a Brevo gearbox attached to a Kromhout engine, do you have any more information? what engine is it fitted to? Tom
-
Legging a boat through a tunnel isn't that hard, I have actually done this, but then I don't look for the first excuse to not have to move! Tom
-
surely if you breakdown, you still have legs and could leg the boat through, unless they haven't got a risk assessment for that......... Tom
-
there is a 3:1 box in there somewhere, just electric start to worry about then. there is no such thing as a nice air cooled diesel.
-
I think Dan would like a different engine in Oak, but I think he wants a dumper engine rather than a true marine engine! Tom
-
that propellor looks like a Kelvin blade, do you know what engine is fitted? Tom
-
Kelvin K3 on ebay, posting from my phone so can't link to it Tom
-
it looks like an E2 with a manifold from an E4 and a knackered cylinder head.not worth anything like the amount he wants for them either ! Tom
-

I have always found dewalt batteries to be poor at best, makita always seem good though, I am still using some of the old 12v nicad batteries but the 18v li-ion are brilliant

Never seems that shallow through long eaton, we always get through with 3'3" draught, but we do have more useable power than most people
