    Ok, got this really cool engine and I know it’s an early one. Might need David’s insights for this one. There aren’t any markings on it as far as I can tell, no model or serial numbers.  This is as-received and I haven’t touched it yet but looking forward to giving it a bath.  Unfortunately the engine and the gear box are both sieved up. I pulled the plug and the top of the piston looks surprisingly clean.  Missing the air cleaner. Has a push-pull throttle cable and a little pulley (probably an add-on).  I have no idea of the application, maybe a compressor or something.  This is definitely the oldest O&R in my collection now.

    I'm gonna pick at it and try to get it out but already get'n frustrated.

    Might try grinding in a slot with a dremel tool and if that doesn't work, weld a nut to the bolt and use that to get it loose

    Man, what a pain! Im guessing the tool steel is too hard to drill a hole in it.

    Wow, you’ve really jumped in there and gone to town on this one. Fun to see this thing coming apart and all the things you’re discovering. Thanks for all the pictures! Bummer on that hex getting jammed in there, I don’t think I have any helpful suggestions just yet... hmmm

    I think in this case the original decal is the way to go, it’s not damaged that badly and it maintains some of the original elements and character of the unit.  Looks cool!

     

    I claim Vulture #2, JustO&R can be Vulture #1... I feel like I just entered a warped version of a Dr Seuss classic...

    Maybe it’s less about an exact thickness and more about the springiness (that’s the scientific term) of the metal...  I’m guessing there are all sorts of grades of springiness to thickness ratio for spring steel shim stock.

    Didn't I send you a couple of those a few weeks back. Don't tell me you lost them to:yankchain:


    The one you sent me is the one in the photo with the micrometer measurement. I think Scott is looking for one for his carb and Wallfish started looking at how to maybe make theses since they’re starting to be hard to get these days.
