STYLE 3
|
Not such a good image, the only one available at this
time. The Style 3 was introduced as 'the new petrol engine' in 1920 and
remained in production until 1925. The major difference between this engine
and the earlyer Style 1 & 2 engines is the intruduction of a shorter
'U' tube air pipe mounted horizontally rather than vertically. This brings
the carburettor cloase to the engine (still of Wolseley manufacture).
The magneto also changes at this time to a Fellows unit and this became
the standard until the early engines ceased production. The Style 3 produced
3.5 HP or 5 HP.
Very few of these engines have survived into preservation, the unrestored engine as shown is missing the original carburettor and magneto and requires a full mechanical restoration to bring back into working order. |
