I think the rear hubs are original but have been drilled to suit the replacement wheels. The engine was missing the air filter housing but I have managed to source one from an atco which looks the same and fits... now to source an air filter!

That pull knob turned out fantastic!

That replica starter pull is very nice, once painted I guess anyone would have a difficult job telling it apart from the original. The governor vane should look more like this (one I repaired on my very first O&R, a slightly newer Tiny Tor); Earlier version on a Tiny Tiger; And for completeness, here is a really early vane. Later engines had a governor vane that used a fixed plastic blade, in two sizes depending on whether it was for a 13A or 13B engine. David

I turned a starter handle out of oak. Here are my dimensions and finished handle (except for primer/black paint): I received the parts shipment from Wallfish - thank you very much! I should now be able to finish rebuilding the carb and work on the starter issue with installation of correct dogs/pawls and reel. I have a request for proper bend/angle for the governor vane/blade. When I took the blower housing off for the first time it looked like this: That is obviously not correct. Luckily this vane is metal, probably aluminum, so I can straighten out the bent tip on the left side but I need to know where to bend it on the right side near the rivets. Is it bent on an angle or just straight from front to back, and at what angle should it sit in reference to the vertical cylinder behind it? I assume it should be around the 10 o'clock position? Once again your help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
