Stuart Turner 1/2hp gas engine - stock code 12080

A pre-WW1 Stuart Turner 1/2hp gas engine, originally supplied as sets of castings to allow amateurs to build a small, full-sized engine capable of powering small machinery or running a dynamo for the workshop.

Water-cooled with tank, the engine is of single cylinder four stroke design, with governor controlled gas valve controlling its speed.

In restored condition, it turns over freely with good compression.
