      Hey there 🙂

      I have a two cylinder perkins 4.5 (light blue).

      I would like to know at what time the Engine was built as well as the cubic capacity. Actually I would be glad about any information.

      And what Kind of ignition Parts would fit to the engine?

      Thanks for helping

        Perkins purchased Oliver Outboard, who in turned purchased it from Chris Craft. There are a few Oliver out their with a good following.

          It’s a ’62 or ’63, it says here. Bore/stroke 2×1.5, approx 9.4 cu in, same as the Oliver 5.5 and 6-hp, and probably very similar to the earlier Chris-craft 5.5. Book says it weighs 40 lbs. As already mentioned, these are ‘improved’ Olivers, And I’d surmise the Oliver ignition parts would work.
