dynastart for Albin

[nrorke]

I'm desperately looking for a dynastart for my ageing Albin 011. in my Blackwater Sloop 2 1/2 tonner . I'm used to hand cranking it, but as both the engine and I are getting older together, we've decided that an electric starter would save us both a lot of bother. If anyone has one, or knows of one that might be for sale, I'd be very grateful to hear about it.

I know where there's one but whether it still works or whether its for sale? I'll PM you.

I have two MD1Bsw with MS gearboxes. One with an oil leak and the other apparently in good working order. Both have dynastarters and voltrage regulators I am trying to sell the lot either individually or together if you are interested.

I had this trouble a while ago. I bought a brand new Dynastart from LSUK of 40 Roseville Rd, Leeds, LS8 5DR - 0113 245 8591 and it cost me a couple of hundred quid. It worked very well until I sold the engine earlier this year.
The original Bosch versions were a fortune to replace - this one seemed to be a copy but it worked well.
good luck

Many thanks for your help. I've heard from Fors Marin who are the Swedish suppliers of new parts, but as my engine is a fairly old affair, it doesn't seem to justify the cost of a new dynastart. I'd be interested in the one you mentioned. My e-mail is: nrorke@hotmail.com
Many thanks for the help.

Thanks for youy reply. I'm not familiar with the MD1Bsw or MS g/boxes you mention. Are they Albin parts? Is the dynastart of a universal type? I've had a quote from Fors Marin, the Swedish supplier of new parts for Albin, but the cost for a new dynastart is over £400. Although probably quite reasonable, this is more than I'd want to spend on what is after all a pretty old engine.
If you would contact me directly about what you have, my e-mail is: nrorke@hotmail.com
Many thanks for your interest and help,

Many thanks for your interest and help. My Albin is the smallest in their range, a single cylinder 5hp. known as an 011. There is a larger version which is basically two cylinders together. Unsurprisingly this one is 10 hp. and known as an 021. I believe that the dynastart is identical on both, as is the g/box and many other non-cylinder based parts.
I'm certainly interested, and would be grateful to hear more from you. My e-mail is: nrorke@hotmail.com.
Many thanks, NickR.
