Great Mike I have a couple of variations I can add to that. Must get some pics! Could never fathom out the reason for the larger SE3 type burner?
Spokesmann

SE3, SP5 types . . .

Note awful 2003 yellow handled type!

Spokesmann

SR1 one piece scuttle/burner. Burner is the very early brass type without soldering - more of a folded/formed brass pan . . .

Spokesmann

A different reservoir design on this 48 SE2 3-puke type.



Still works today.

Its amazing just how many variations of handles old man Malins used

An early brass vap type - note the little heat shield - this is from my ME1 - still to be completed inside my Arrow boat!

Handle has been adjusted by me to fit my Arrow boat . . .

A interesting base plate too - seems they couldn't make their mind up, or more probably decided to use up old stock base plates originally produced for the wick burners

I think the white handled burner was introduced in 1957

Would you be able to give me some dimensions of that burner please? The one for my ME1 is predictably missing.

I tried an SE3 burner and the engine decided it wanted to take off so I think it was a little large for it and I don't want to damage the boiler.

Thanks.

Here's a picture as you can see the current burner is almost as long as the boiler.



It does run well though. Very Happy

It is a Forest Classic's reproduction SE3 burner. I thought it would be about the right size but turned out a little bit longer than I thought.
