  1. Thank you pmackellow and factory for the help and reply. I'm new at this, I took apart my tiny tiger too soon, no knowledge and I damaged it. I started researching the engine online with sites like these and YouTube. I'm post retirement and just became interested and wanted to start with a small engine that I didnt think was too complicated. I was wrong. The other engine I recently purchased from eBay is supposed to be a 1hp military unused, but I'm not sure it is a 1hp because there is no documentation to support their claim, and the picture if one I saw in eBay is a lighter color, plus the exhaust filter if in correct, is larger on other 1hp than the one I purchased, so I dont know. While watching YouTube, there was a 3 video dismantling of a 1hp oldsson rice, and he mentioned on the video that basically it is a large Olsson rice airplane engine and he mentioned about it being converted to diesel. That's all I know in the subject and was looking to find out if someone has already done it, and had some type of cooling system added to it, and that compression wasn't an issue plus oil additive would be the lubricant like on other small diesel engines I read about. I am going to start slow, try to reassemble the tiger first and replace what I broke in the learning process.
  2. Hello. I have a couple of ohlsson rice .85 and 1hp engines, and watched a YouTube repair tutorial and mentioned that these engines could be converted to diesel. Has anyone successfully converted these engines to a diesel? Any pros or cons in a conversion?
