I have many carburetor kits for ohlsson &Rice on eBay user name meatballbutch

Courtesy of Webhead Arrived on Thursday, rebuilt engine and restored over the weekend. This is the first one of these that I had ever seen.

I haven't seen much for sale in the UK recently, but found this nice condition engine for sale on ebay in France, it's an early Model F with 6.921 to 1 ratio gearbox for 900 R.P.M. output shaft speed. Decals on this engine, not many had the Model printed on the O&R eagle logo decal, I've noticed that it isn't stamped into the crankcase on this engine either. The gearbox for the Model F has no clutch fitted, a Model J was also made if you needed the same specification but with a clutch, Model J engines seem to be more common than the Model F. Below is part of the 1961 price list showing these two models. David

Wow, that’s a beauty- almost looks mint condition! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Model F before. You definitely find the good ones!

Yes it would take a lot of time to both figure out the correct parts & find them, hence why I suggest looking for an engine block (the sort that RC modellers have removed/lost bits from) and transferring the good parts from your engine to that one. As I did to restore the yellow Tiny Tiger which must have suffered a similar failure. And refilling the tank every hour. Don't forget they advertised them as being suitable for powering all sorts of equipment, plus battery charging (just imagine your miles from anywhere with a flat battery & the O&R won't start either), or even cook the worlds smallest goose (below).

Thanks Alain. Your photo made me very envious!
