I acquired a two stroke twin marine engine the other day. It looked to me
like a K2 Watermota & a little research this morning indicates that it is
indeed one of they beasts. Here's some pics (reduced!)

It is quite solid, but as it has its plugs in the cylinders, I have some
hopes of moving it - not so hard on two strokes as a rule. It is complete
with square bodied ML (I think) magneto, original Amal carb & exhaust
manifolds. They scrub up well & Prestons currently have one for sale

Now all I have to do is decide what to do with it!

That's going to be a cute little engine when polished up!

Are those water jackets electrolytically formed? I'd love one of
those early engines with copper jackets.

Them's pretty things with their copper water jackets. Don't you have a
K1 lurking somewhere as well?

It wants to be mounted in a boat cut length ways to display it.

Gentlemen,

By chance somebody on the kiddies forum is looking for a K2 and has put up
pictures of a K2 and 2 to look at.

Actually, Nick, yes, I do have a K1 as well! It is in much better nick & is
one of the engines I bought in my First Incarnation of interest in the
1970's.

'course, I'm torn now because I have so much to do already ..........

Do you mean the engine or the boat?
Regardless of the answer, in my experience, neither work very well
after being cut in half.

Mounting in a boat sounds problematical and surely display is possible
without being sliced in two :-)

Hi there,

I have a yacht built in 1924 with a K2 WaterMota installed, and am currently restoring her. There are some parts I need for the engine to get it running again. Are there any societies, hobbyists or people you know of who might have some parts stashed away?

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Kind regards,
Sam McGill
