Interesting, EDM would be good for that. Might start to get a little pricey...

Gasket and diaphragm are on their way...

Looks good! I’ll get the larger decal in the mail to you. This circle cutter is coming in pretty handy...

Nice Glad to hear the one you got right might also have the right tension properties... now how do we determine what those are so we can match to a source?

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. 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.

I’ll take a couple more measurements tomorrow. A punch would be the way to go. Keep us posted.

Looks like 0.005” Wow, those look pretty good now I’m going to have to try it....

Great idea! I have one of those and will have to try it!

I sent these to Titch this last week and checked with him today. He’s working on getting us an estimate and it sounds like he’s anxious to make us some.

Started tinkering with an idea for a stand this afternoon. If I go this route I’ll need to cut the mount, drill and tap, add some small rubber feet to the base, etc. With this setup I could make it adjustable as well and the suspended height will also be ready for a cut-away gearbox some day. I stuck an old engine on there to sort of get a visual. Of course when it’s mounted to the bar it’ll hand about 2” lower.

Thanks David - I’ll put that on my watch list!

That is awesome!

That’s awesome David, how you find all this info isn’t amazing. Also very cool that it’s from Petro Powered Products.

JustO&R- Yep, this has to be a busy time for you normally but I can imagine the bump in insanity now that people are at home and can focus on their yards... it’s good your business is doing well! FYI- I’m going to pass on the J motor I found but if anyone else is interested just let me know and I’ll point you to it. The price isn’t too bad really, I just have some other priorities right now. Wallfish- it’s up in your neck of the woods...

Cool idea, but isn’t silicone tubing pretty readily available?

I’m guessing this one has been listed before on here but I couldn’t find it. http://collectionneur-tronconneuse.fr/category/ohlsson-et-rice

Ohhh man that’s looking nice! You’re right, that is one of the coolest O&R tools. I’ve never seen another one. I saw a different style winch one time but nothing like this Bejay.

Thanks David, that’s good to know. I haven’t decided yet on the J engine, price might just be a bit too high right now. I don’t think the guy will come down much more in it.

I’ve done a lot of hacksaw work too and will have some yet to do. The laser cut bases were something I stumbled onto at a local metal supply shop when I was in MInnesota.

That is very cool! I was just looking at something recently that had a little Fox engine like that.

I thought it looked familiar. Photos aren’t great so I can’t tell much about shafts and stuff. It’s missing the gas tank. What size shaft do you need, lengthwise? I’ll look through my stuff, not sure I have one but I can check.

Yep, this is a nice one. I kind of like the C-shaped bracket, it’s a nice clean touch. I need Terry to work his magic for me... I have a couple nice 3/8” base plates already laser cut, just need the bracket and to mount some nice rubber feet/pads, kind of like that model 227 I did a few months back.

Ha... not exactly. I might have a line one and just trying to see what seems reasonable for it. It looks a bit rough and in need of some major TLC like most of these. It has the larger gear box than say a typical chainsaw, maybe for a mini bike application or something??? I’m tempted...

Curious, looking for opinions - is there anything particularly desirable or special about the 3/4 hp “J” model engine with gear box? Just trying to understand what might a reasonable price and if this model could/should command a higher price for any reason.
