Puck 2 stroke diesels

Has anyone ever come across Puck 2 stroke diesels engines, made in Gdansk to East German designs in the mid 20th century? They produced a 2 cylinder 24hp model designed for lifeboats but they are somewhat elusive on the Internet for information. 

 

Kind regards

Think it may be Puch , Austrian company

They did produce diesels but are more famous for their motorcycles and mopeds.

There used to be a joke about their cars "You steyr and I'll puch".

Austrian humour, I guess.

Have you tried an enquiry to Stationary Engine magazine?  I have no knowledge of Puck engines, but I would bet that someone there does.

 

Guesswork

Gdansk, so a Polish company, probably.  Not sure how that helps unless you can Google in Polish for "engine company Gdansk".

What does Puck mean in Polish, or German?

Did you search Google for "silnik puck"?

 

Silnik is Polish for "Engine". 

 

 

Quite a few results including a RetroTraktor forum which might be interesting.

Another search term "dwusuwowy" is polish for "two stroke" 

 

This one comes up with a sailforum.pl page referencing puck 2 stroke diesels.

Nice!

Water cooled, I assume, but I don't see any plumbing.

Does it come with a gearbox?

And where is it destined to go?

 

 

Hi David,

It is water cooled, there is a twin gear water pump at the rear of the engine, to the right of the screen with the yellow hose on the input.  the second pump chamber was designed as a bilge pump which is what we will use it for as well. The output is direct from the heads and running out a 22mm pipe to the top right of the video. 

It does have a gearbox, just out of shot, which is as long as the crankcase, on a direct drive, swinging a 20" prop. It is destined to go in our newbuild when we ever get round to starting it........

Hope you are well!

 

Kind regards
