You could try at http://www.mecoa.com/index.htm The Cameron 23 has the same tank Cheers Andrew

Hi All, Here it is running after some clean up. Running on 3-1 mix of Coleman's fuel and SAE 30 weight oil. Fuel tank came loose in second run. Cheers Andrew

Hi All, Just received another O&R 60, large exhaust, shown with the small exhaust behind. I will clean up, inspect and run. New one has a 1/4-32 plug instead of the 3/8" fitted to the other. Cheers Andrew

Hi All, After spending the day playing around with the points bucket, I got every thing tightened up, running on an electronic ign Cheers Andrew

Hi All, I have one that I will be fixing the points on to get consistent runs out of, I got a reply about fuel ect from another site, I have listed the reply below. The whole points housing is very loose on the crank case and floats around while running. Cheers Andrew

Hi All, David, I got the mount machined up, still need some end plates made up(waiting on material), have trial fitted to the hull. Cheers Andrew

While I still can't do a lot, I have done the basic layout for the start of the machining of the engine mount, sourced a block of 2" alloy bar stock. Will make the mount to suite the 48" hull. I found a supplier for the ply to build the hydroplane, looking at just over $130 for the ply, but he wanted over $400 for freight, so I decided on a 48" mono hull that I picked up very cheep in kit form. Cheers Andrew

David, Thank you very much for the reply, sorry for the delay, just spent the last 6 days in hospital with heart problems. Cheers Andrew

David, Thank you, I would like the photos and dimensions of the cast mount if you can do it. I have added a photo of the two engines together so you can size it. Each cylinder is approx. 25cc Cheers Andrew

On Epay at the moment in the US http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1967-O-R-2-Stroke-Cycle-Engine-in-Box-UNUSED-3-4-HP-85-HP-/302334998107?hash=item466491f65b:g:6EEAAOSwaEhZL1ub http://www.ebay.com/itm/OHLSSON-RICE-COMPACT-II-0-85-HP-2-STROKE-PUMP-INDUSTRIAL-O-R-ENGINE-/132230661149?hash=item1ec98fc41d:g:RTkAAOSwDrNZRxWE http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ohlsson-Rice-Gas-Drill-Unique-O-R-Gas-Engine-Vintage-Rare-/201927210259?hash=item2f03ccb513:g:TDgAAOSwfVpYpmHT http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NEW-O-R-1-HP-Gas-Engine-with-Pull-Start-for-Model-Airplane-or-Boat-/172693219849?hash=item2835516a09:g:jiEAAOSwjL5ZJcUh Found these while searching for an Octura marine engine mount. Cheers Andrew

David, Thank you for the photos, that one looks like a piece of extruded alloy, the other one that I have seen is a cast one. Looks like I will just machine one out of a block alloy. Photo is just one engine I have built over the years.

Hi All, Does anyone know where I could buy one of the Octura boat engine mounts or anyone who is willing to sell one. Or can someone can supply me detailed photos of a mount with some basic dimensions so as I can machine one. Thank you for your help. Cheers Andrew

Here you go, looks like it had a different housing.

Thank you David, Would hate to damage the OEM parts, as it looks like it has done very little running. Will have to hunt down some taps so I will be able to make up a carby adaptor. I have saved the charts for further support. Cheers Andrew

Hi All, I have a silly question about the screw and bolt sizes in the O & R 3/4 hp engines, it may be common knowledge to you but I have only seen one other of these and that was a long time ago. The case screws, carby mount screws, and the output shaft screw. All appear to be 32 pitch thread, but I no longer have any reference material to imperial sized screws and bolts as I have only used metric for the last 35 years. Any help would be helpfull. Cheers Andrew
