looking for ENGINE, DIESEL MARINE, TYPE TASC 8, KELVIN.

Hello everyone

I'm looking for ENGINE, DIESEL MARINE, TYPE TASC 8, KELVIN. 

GEARBOX, COMPLETE NEW HYDRAULIC REVERSE REDUCTION, FOR JAMES

& STONE LAUNCHES.

Assuming this is not another bot post. If TASC8 means eight cylinders I suspect this forum is unlikely to have contacts for what you want. You might be lucky but doubt it.

Its not bot

im looking for Kelvin 8 cylinder 

[magnetman]

Kelvin T8 is a bit of a rare engine.

 

There is a section on here which may be a better place to ask

 

https://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/forum/55-kelvin/

 

It is under vintage engines. Kelvin.

 

I would say all Kelvin engines in canal boats will be P, J or K type. I doubt very much anyone with a canal boat has a T or a TS type but there might  be someone who knows more about it and doesn't look at this section of the forum.

Will check this forums

 

thanks

There was one for sale on ebay about a year ago, I doubt if it sold.

 

Have a search of "completed listings"

 

And there is a K2 on ebay right now! For £9k.

Thanks

There was a pair of TASC8 engines on Ebay a couple of months ago. There is a single engine currently for sale which has been up for a while, so may be able to negotiate on price:

I have a few T parts (not the ones you are looking for) and I know someone who has a few more parts, again not the ones you are looking for. They were popular barge engines along the Essex coast in the 1970s/80s.

Sir 

can i got new one of Tacs8 engine

and gearbox 

[agg221]

I do not have a gearbox and neither does the other person I know. His father was a marine engineer who worked on Ts and had a few parts left over which he is now disposing of. I bought some other things from him (J parts and some tools) and found a few T parts in the boxes.

 

The only people who might be able to help with a gearbox or parts to fix your current gearbox would be Seaward Engineering. Either that or you will probably have to buy a whole secondhand engine to take the parts from which you want, like the one on Ebay.

Now your credibility is in doubt.

 

You seem to know nothing about Kelvins in general or the Tasc8 in particular. 

 

 

 

 

[Mohe]

Yes sir

it an order for someone 

[Mike Tee]

I’m sure MtB has been called a lot of things both in thought and print on this forum, but am sure that ‘sir’ is a first!😂

[BEngo]

If Seaward cannot help, try British Polar Diesels.  They now own/run the Kelvin factory service and repair business.  

 

Ensure your wallet is well loaded before you start.  Kelvin components are not cheap.

I will check with them
