Title: Looking for Build instructions of a Krick Model II
Post by: algon on December 19, 2021, 04:23:21 pm

Hello all, 
 I have recently picked up a Krick marine power plant likely from a Patricia. If anyone can help I am looking for a copy or a scan of the assembly/operating instructions. Attached are a couple of pictures.

 Happy Holidays to you all.
Kevin

Looks like it is in very good condition.

I'm sorry I don't have the manual, but your steam plant is made using Wilesco parts, so if you look at the instructions for similar Wilesco engines, some of the advice should apply.
Try the manuals for the D48 and D49 marine engines: https://www.manualslib.com/brand/wilesco/engine.html

If you have any specific questions, ask here and I'm sure an answer will be found.

 Thanks for the advice.  I have a Wilesco D48 but it was not supplied as a kit as these Kricks were. I runs ok, but I was looking to confirm that it was built as the instructions directed. I hear many need "shimming" to run as designed.

Just run it and see how it performs.

Hello,
I've build the Krick Patricia 3 years ago.
Your boiler, engine, burner combination ist not from Patricia, its from Victoria.
But bot are manufactured by Wilesco.
I have the instructions for the Patricia with same boiler and engine, where you can see how to assemble it.
