It’s been a slow project but finally on the home stretch. A big THANKS to Wallfish for getting me going with the bones of this really cool saw. With his advice I was able to harvest an engine and a few other parts from an old Orline Mustang. Original paint was too far gone for a refresh so it was time for a complete restoration. Webhead is fixing me up with a hook screw for the muffler since this saw has the little exhaust collector extension and it needs to be about 3” long. I was able to find some cable conduit in the right diameter and made a new throttle cable for it. Hopefully when Titch has some time maybe he can get a decal made up as the finishing touch.
I had forgotten about the bark rest piece until Wallfish reminded me and of course I’d already finished painting everything else so that piece is late to the game but drying now (it’s already 104 in AZ so dry time should be faster). Finding a good paint match was a bit more challenging than I thought it would be, must have gone through about four different reds and 6 yellows but I think I landed on a pretty good match all said and done. Yellow is really hard...
Very nice David, cool to see the original document with suggested tools.
Your version looks pretty straightforward as well. I was about to make something similar when I came across this drag link socket. Up until now I had been using a small pry bar, the width of the claw was just right but the angle was always just very awkward and made it challenging especially for heads that were really tight. Not to mention putting the head back on and tightening it was Less than ideal. I’m looking forward to giving this new socket a go on the next project.
This probably isn’t new to anyone but I thought I would share a handy tool for removing the cylinder head on an O&R. A good old drag link socket makes a perfect tool for this. I have this one that is about 3/16” thick and 1 1/16” wide.
It's good to know the engine survived & has found a home with CNew, as it never sold on ePay & I really thought it had been lost for good.
Small world, glad I was able to get this one. Sorry to hear it didn’t go so well when you tried for it a couple years ago. As far as I know it’s the oldest engine I have.
That does seem a little strange - maybe someone has been in there before and forgot some parts. On a recent one I did I found someone also left out some of the exhaust spacers and gaskets.
Nice set! I’ve thought about just buying a single punch that is the filter size, might still look for one. Osborne makes some large punches and I can probably find a used one.
I think the best fuel mix for these little engines is the alkylate premix fuel you buy in home improvement stores or small engine shops. It stays fresh for a considerable time longer than regular pump gas. I was skeptical at first but now use it in all engines smaller than 40cc.
Definitely use high quality gas without ethanol, avoid pump gas. I get a high quality small engine gas from a good mower store for my mixes- no ethanol in my units!
Awesome, glad you got it running- always a great feeling!
I’ve been using a 32:1 mix with Stihl and it seems to work fine. I’ve also had decent success using a little in-line filter called a “crap trap” made by a Sullivan for RC applications. Just do a google search for Sullivan crap trap and it should come up, usually about $7-8.
No, just came across the photo and it made me wonder if one of the military applications was a water pump. You never see the Type 133 in the actual application. I know there has been mention of them being used in target drones as well, who knows...
Welcome to the forum Ray, you’ve come to the right place. Can you post some photos of your Tiny Tiger? Send me a PM and I can probably help you with a carb diaphragm and gasket.
Never seen one of these Kenco pumps in the green. Looks like a Type 133 military engine, unless someone used a Type 133 to replace the original engine on the pump. It looks like it could be original paint but it’s dirty and hard to tell for sure.
Thanks! I just don’t have any good tools for cutting, bending and no welding. I was kind of fortunate when I was in MN there was a large metal store and they had a misc cut bin. That’s where I found a couple of the 3/8” thick plates already cut to shape- I knew they would come in handy at some point.
