They used
To get the fishing boats out of the sea
And leave them on the beach
In the beaches of Calafell

Hi José
The carb is a car one , Gardner's one are very difficult to find and they are tricky
Your engine will run nicely with the Zenith one
The exhaust valve box is ok , i had a confusion on the small photo , sorry
Have a nice day
Roland

Good morning Roland
Exactly what car is carb.
What carburetor is the GARDNER?
? Do you have any photo
regards
Joseph

Good evening José
Very difficult to identify from which car , your Zenith carb is coming , sorry , it must have been changed over the  engine life
About the Gardner Carb , your engine is surely a spirit  engine , my Gardner's n° 2 are gas engines , with hot tube ignition , see
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__NOvf3GUt4&t=9s
The n° 3 is a petrol engine with also hot tube ignition
I can send you a photo of a n° 1 spirit engine carb , if you want , you will have an idea
In english , it's rather difficult to name the carburants, as far as i understand
gas is methane or propane , CH4 or poor quality gas coming from steel blast furnace industry
spirit is the one used in your daily car
petrol is used in home small heating stoves
I hope it's help
will send magneto infos later
Good evening
Roland

Here are the magneto infos in french   and Gardner n°1 spirit carb
Good evening
Roland

Good evening, Roland.
If there is carburetor difference.
Thank you and was able to disassemble without breaking anything, 30 days soaking in diesel.
Thanks again for the information of the magnet
Thank you
regards
Joseph

Good evening José,
Here are some photos taken by my friend Jean Pierre of " The Museum of Mécanique naturelle " in Giverny ( east of Paris , worth a visit if you are in Paris , a plain day will be necessary )
The photos shows a carb from a model 5 , your flange is vertical , this one is horizontal , but the carb is very similar
Continue your good work
All the best
Roland

UFFF
very different
But mine has been set up since the 1950s.
When running hira to a museum of the sea in Calafell
Thank you Roland
Goodnight

Rolan
This machine was bought in the 20's
Bring fishing boats to the beach
Thing that previously did with the cavalry
Once this restored and functioning will be ceded to the museum of the cofradia of fishermen.
So where he was born and lived working.
So I thank you very much for the help you are giving me since I want the older fishermen to see their machine in operation.

Goodnight Roland
E recovered a motor that they were going to throw to the junk.
I am looking for information and I find nothing more than milking cows in the LAVAL brand.
IT'S A LAVAL MOTOR number 212998 108B / 25HP RV500
AB LAVALS ANGTURBIN STOCKHOLM SWEDEN.

Bonne nuit Roland
J'ai récupéré un moteur qu'ils allaient jeter à la ferraille.
Je cherche de l'information et je ne trouve rien de plus que la traite des vaches dans la marque LAVAL.
C'est un MOTEUR LAVAL numéro 212998 108B / 25HP RV500
AB LAVALS ANGTURBIN STOCKHOLM SUÈDE.

Voilà les photos

François

The engine was meant for scrap metal.
He belonged to a fishing boat 90 years ago.
Another enjoyment
And another challenge.
Greetings and thanks again.

Le moteur était destiné à la ferraille.
Il appartenait à un bateau de pêche il y a 90 ans.
Une autre jouissance
Et un autre défi.
Salutations et merci encore.

You say you will not come to Spain, but at least you think it's a box of Rioja wine, if you want to tell me how and I'll send it to you. :applaudissemen

Thank you

Hello José
I am back home and i get an answer of my swedish friend
Here is his answer

Unfortunately I do not know so mush about this ”Laval” engine. The company AB De Lavals Angturbiner (steam turbines) built engines between 1924 and 1951 in Stockholm. In 1924 the company took over engine manufacturing from an old company called Bergsunds Mekaniska Verkstad. From 1934 Laval made these type of engines. They were mostly sold to Swedish navy or exported to Spain, Portugal and Norway.

With serial number 21298 I think it is built about 1935

I hope it's help
Kind regards
Roland

ROLAND Okay thank you very much
I hope to find the way.
Just find a thread I can get to the skein.
regards
Joseph
