Well theRe wasnt room to get the calliper on the rear axle so change of plan and stuck it on the lay shaft but that is going to be spinning fast so I thought I better put a guard on it ,I now have brakes

Did some looking around in my shop and located the other O&R engine I have. This came off a Groomer trimmer. See the pics. It runs wide open all the time. It was built with a Tillotson HU that has no throttle shaft. Never had one. No choke either, just the primer button. The only thing to impede air flow into the engine is a screw that holds the base and reed plate in place. Installed a new diaphragms in the carb. I had this hooked up to a remote tank to run it. It sounds like an irritated bumblebee!

If you need more pix, closeups, etc just give me a shout and will be happy to help. Great luck in assembling an engine!

Had to be expected I guess Chris. Can't be many shows left to be canceled now.

Hi what year is this O/R motor Ta Daren all motors together Thanks Daren

Hi what year is this O/R motor with marine and V8 upgrades for future White Heat 10 build Ta Daren more pics

From the serial number 93xxxx the engine dates from March 1969, in August of that year they stopped stamping the serial number into the crankcase and instead put it on the cylinder cooling baffle (not fitted on this engine), which are often taken off & go missing. Very nice engine by the way, you've reminded me I need to fit the Octura carb & exhaust to mine, it's not the V8 exhaust though. David

Scooter wheels are an Idea. I modified scooter wheels on my C-121, Black Horse. I used trailer hubs as well. May give you ideas. Page 15.

I've been sorting all the various boxes of incomplete engines & parts over the weekend, I came across the remains of what I think was a chainsaw engine, with a crankcase that will be very useful for building the trimmer engine from the spares I have. Someone had tried to fill in the crankcase port with a solder blob , I soon got rid of that, something that may not be obvious from the pictures is that the port goes in at an angle to avoid the crankcase mounting holes.

Any leads would be gratefully appreciated, just to save me messing about with them I am looking at 8" lambretta split rims at the moment. Kevin has said he may have some bits to give me a head start, any thing to keep me from having to decorate a bedroom

Finally finished the saw, Webhead was able to send me a screw hook for the muffler. Now all it needs is a decal!

Yes thanks I have made contact with him, Be loverly if he had some front rims I am looking out for some wheels to work with

It is with great regret to inform everyone that we've had to cancel this years show we have to think of the safety of our exhibitors and visitors to the show.
