  1. Brandan It appears that your engine is a general purpose TAS motor with no gear reduction/transmission.. I see that on of the stickers on the cover says P-7 and the other says P-72. It also looks as if this engine rotates in the opposite direction of (2) TAS P-7's I have. I do not know if this motor could be used for a minibike. I state that because I use TAS P-7's for minibikes. Maybe you have seen pictures of my P-7 up in this string of posts. Are you interested in selling this motor and parts ?
  2. My damaged float and the carburetor pics are about 5 posts above. Thanks for the eBay link for a float. I purchased it but the seller couldn't give me accurate dimensions. Maybe I will get lucky --
  3. HELP PLEASE - I need a Little Petro P-7 KEIHIN carburetor - OR a carburetor float. I have tried many other floats that do not fit in the KEIHIN float bowl. I have been looking for over 1 year now and I really need some help with this --- Help. I can also be reached at hkillackey@aol.com
  4. I had a few Tanaka P7 Air Cleaner Covers made. I have listed them in eBay. They came out very good. They can be gentle sanded if you want to make them show quality. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164645598092?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  5. Yes, That is the next step if I can't get another spring. I will apply a clamping vice-grip about 1" from the end of the spring. This will act as a thermal shunt heat dissipator. I will then heat the spring end to red/white hot if possible. This heat treatment will remove the hardness spring of the steel. It will be easy to form the soft steel. After forming the soft steel end heat will be applied to a blue color. This should restore the hardness of the steel to a spring. I know that one or both heat treatments will require a quench in oil or water.
  6. The curved end of the spring coil is gone. I believe it broke off at some point in it's life. I don't know if my Tanaka is a match to the O&R. I do believe the pull stater design is similar but I don't know if the Japanese Tanaka did a 100% design copy.
  7. Hello - I need a pull starter mechanism for my Tanaka P-7. I don't need the engine cover that holds the pull starter mechanism but I would be willing to buy the cover with the pull starter mechanism attached. My internal spring's tab that retains the spring has broken off.
  8. Hello - I need the Pull Starter mechanism for my Tanaka P7 motor. I would love to have the engine cover with it or even the whole engine..... If possible. I need some parts help to get my old Tanaka running again --
  9. On my old TAS P-7 I had to re-tap the threads to a modern/today standard metric thread pitch. The JIS metric thread pitch of 60+ years ago are similar but not the same as today. Get the M diameter size and a new tap and chase/reform the old threaded holes if you are going to us new M fasteners
  10. Hello - I need a TAS Tanaka P-7 or P-5 engine and carburetor. I also need the plastic air cleaner that was on the carburetor of the old P-7.
  11. I looking for ANY parts OR whole motor for a Tanaka P-7 or P-5. I need a carburetor also. I have a non working Little Petro that I want to restore.
  12. I need a Tanaka P-7 motor ..... for my Little Petro project.
  13. My engine before assembled to frame
  14. I have started a Facebook group specific for Little Petro's. You can join the Little Petro Group and we can learn, trade, find info about obtaining parts, share photo's & etc. Do you have a better Coil Cover than this one that you would like to sell? Mine shown needs a repair around the wire hole.
  15. Very Interesting ...... I might have Little Petro transmission ..... I'm not sure of the condition ..... the motor was torn apart and the motor orange painted cover was damaged. Also - I have just started a Little Petro Group on Facebook as another source for getting in touch with other Little Petro owners and fans. On Facebook search Little Petro Group
