If you cant get that one you can pick them up quite cheap in running order.

I've never seen a petter junior run as well as that before!!!

[Petterjunior]

They will run like that under load , it has had new bearings and rings so it is tight hence the two stroking, when she has run in we will put her to work on a 2" ruston centrifugal pump .

Bonjour.

Je suis Français et j'ai le même moteur petter junior que le vôtre.

Est ce qu'il est possible de retrouver le pot d'échappement qui est absent sue le miens ainsi que les masselotes de régulation.

Merci.

Ive asked him again like you said and the problem is its technichly still my uncles. But still its properly rusty. the flywheel turns atleast but the big end would need re fabricating. Theirs a hole in the water tank and all the pipes that you can see from the front are missing. Its had bout half a ton of flowerpots on top of it for about 15 years so the back part of it isnt going to be in a good state. I try to at least persuade him to get it out and have it standing. I see what i can do.
