They are nice engines, I have one dating from 1954 and it runs a treat (though my rallying mates say that it aint a "proper engine") what do they know eh? Laughing

We sure like our diesels but I've also got 3 Bernard petrol engines, I'll post some pictures of them
soon. I think I'm going to respray it as I need to take it apart anyway. It doesn't run very well and
judging by the smoke it produces I guess the pistonrings are worn quite badly.

cheers

Niek.

By the way, I think I'll use it for show purposes, but maybe I'll use it to power my
"stork" waterpump. (Dutch brand)

I like the bigger ones too, I've worked on IH blocks ranging from 50 to 80 hp and I own
a 4 cilinder FIAT 411R.

Leave him in his working clothes and what is wrong with a bit of smoke?

Niek on Wed May 11, 2011 8:23 pm

Well it's not exactly a bit of smoke, the engine doesn't run very smoothly also.

Niek on Fri May 20, 2011 10:14 pm

By the way, this is the STORK pump I'm intending to use with the PAZ1.

Neik, have you restored the pump or is it how you got it?

Stu.

Niek on Sun May 22, 2011 4:32 pm

Stork is a Dutch brand name, the pumps are pretty popular in Holland. I started restoring the pump some time ago, but due to a lack of time I stopped. When I've got my engines fixed new work on the pump will start and I'll make it look a little smarter. Internal restoration has been carried out already.
