That’s really cool that you have the Octura valve! I’ve never seen one of those before.
-
Band strap turned out great! You’re cruising through these engines.
Not sure I’ve seen that particular TT, very cool!

Are you taking about the metal strap that goes around the generator or the rubber handle/cushion?
What tool would have used a 1600 rpm gearbox?
-
I gotta figure out what project to start next, got the O&R itch again!
-
I agree, the outboards look way better without the plastic cover!
-
I’ve never had one of the outboards opened up, not sure which crank setup that is. I do have a partial outboard, I’ll have to see if it is all put together at the crank end or if that’s pulled apart. I’ll try to take dig it out later this evening.
-
I might be interested in a couple, send me a couple photos once you got one.
-
Man you’re making fast progress! What kind of tools are you going to put those on?
-
I thought I had found someone local that was going to make a few for me and then he disappeared. I wish I had a small lathe, should be pretty simple. I did find the right size wood balls for the other style pull knob, even thought about tapering a dowel and bonding it to a wood ball to make the older style knob but just never had time to try it.
-
Definitely. I built a little test stand for that very purpose. Get them rebuilt and then do an initial run and then on the display shelf.
You’ve got a nice pile o’ gold there😉

like this one?
-
Looks great, how does it run?
-
I finally bought an ultrasonic cleaner, now I just need to do an engine to see if I get results like you do!
-
I’ve had this happen so many times, those little needle bearings with the star washer can be a real pain!
you’re definitely making me want to pull out an engine and do something.
-
That looks like a nice clean unit!
-
That one does look nice and clean! I hear ya, those little roller bearings can be a pain.
-
Happy New Year John! Great to see another engine getting new life. You’re inspiring me to do another O&R, it’s been too long.
Recently I’ve been restoring some old Singer sewing machines with the direct-drive motors (models 101, 201, 301 and 15-91), kind of a fun change of pace and will be useful for a few projects I’m planning with canvas and leather.
-
Jumping in late here, it’s great to see this car again and the gang already figuring out how to get it back together. That Little Big Mans would be an amazing event to see in person!
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Came across this add for a mini bike that used the 20A engine…

Very nice, that one looks to be in great condition too! What is the little nut just above the handle grip! Is that part of a kill switch?
-
That is an interesting pattern. The condition of the piston and rings look new. Maybe the pattern is as you suggest and it’s just some early wear-in, barely looks used. A light honing is probably a safe bet.
-
That Jaeger winch sounds pretty cool! I’m anxious to get this one running just to see how the mechanism works.
-
Indeed, it’s been really challenging lately.
-
Exactly- this is the one. Seller was great to work with!
