Cool, can’t wait to see it all dressed up!

I wonder if this earlier style cover and recoil would bolt up to a standard 20A? If so, and if anyone has an extra or junker cover and recoil assembly like this one I might be interested in it, just PM me. It doesn’t need to be pretty or have the decal either.

Absolutely, I learned a lot taking this one apart. Now I know sort of what to expect when I finally tackle my Ohlsson Rice Clinton K150 outboard.

Cover looks nice all painted up- what did you decide to do about the gas tank, did you find some yellow paint that looks close?

Huh, interesting. Thanks for all the research. Well I already ordered the O-rings so I’ll have plenty and they should work ok, it’s not like I really use these engines/tools much more than firing them up to enjoy them or show’em off...

Ok, figured it out. I was able to pull the oil seal (probably can’t reuse it now) and sure enough there was a clip holding the shaft next to the bearing. Also, Wallfish you were right, the pressure release valve does have to come off first. There’s just barely not enough room leaving it in. I finally got a 7/16 deep socket that fit the narrow hole in the housing. Piece of cake after that and removing the clip...

There is an oil seal on the shaft you pointed out. I haven’t removed it yet, didn’t want to damage it. Looks like I’ll probably need to pry that seal out and see if there is some sort of bushing or something that is holding the engine in. The pressure release thingy looks like it has room to clear the hole and housing without removing it first. There really isn’t any way to access it anyway without the engine being completely out. Definitely puzzling...

Ok, I’m stumped... I’m trying to remove a 20A engine from an old chainsaw and I feel like I’ve removed everything that keeps the engine situated in the frame/tank case. I can’t get the engine to budge at all. It looks like it should just slide out but it doesn’t so much as wiggle even with some gentle persuasion taps on the shaft from the opposite side. What am I missing?

Hmmm, interesting- good to know. I have half a dozen caps that all have worn out O-rings, someone must have replaced the washers over the years.

Thanks JustO&R- that does seem a little high given the few parts, but something to watch and see if they lower the price. Found this funny Frankin’ Amp Champ as well... also priced too high. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Varo-Inc-Amp-Champ-4750a-Portable-Generator-w-O-R-Orline-Mustang-Engine/153783035486?hash=item23ce2ee65e:g:aeIAAOSw9xJeDYHy Doesn't look like it is quite as nice as the one you have or the one Wallfish built up but I think it’s pretty decent and given that these don’t come up very often I had to grab it. By the way, I’m likely to order some O-rings for the standard O&R chainsaw gas and oil caps. I can’t seem to find anything less than a quantity of 100 so if you guys are in need of a few to refresh your caps just let me know.

As a matter of fact I did I haven’t received it yet, could be another week or two before it arrives. Will definitely post some pics as soon as it shows up.

Ok, cool thanks! For some reason it just looks a lot larger. I was thinking maybe it was a 12 or 14” blade. Thanks for the heads-up on the left hand thread too!

Great looking saw. Wow, that’s one fierce looking blade! I haven’t really started to look yet but I will once I know the correct size. I think I’m going to first try to find one of those solid carbide disc style blades without teeth.

Wallfish, Were you successful finding a new blade or a NOS blade that fits well for this saw?

Does anyone know what size blades fit well on these Orline cut off saw? Is there a more modern blade that might work?

That’s gorgeous!

I really like the look of the exhaust and muffler shown in the photo on the old TAS engine. Can you add some more close up photos?

Very cool! I have one of those little outboard motors and the 1.2 has some real power, that’ll be one impressive Little Petro!

Brad, Did you end up getting the parts you were looking for? What kind of O&R tool or engine are you rebuilding?

DCM, Did you get the diaphragm and needle assembly you were needing? I lost track of this thread while I was moving. Hopefully you have everything you need to get your Aquabug up and running. Looking forward to hearing how the project is going.

That would be a lot of fun. Now that I’m in AZ I’m really going to miss being able to go to local tractor and old iron shows. Let’s keep thinking about that, there is bound to be something in between us. Thanks pmackellow! Are you working on any new projects these days?

That did come out nice, paint looks nice and bright. Tough decision on the recoil, maybe depends a little on what you do with the gas tank...

Thanks, I tried not to overdo this one. It has a good bit of character and age so I kept it as-is as much as possible but got all the important stuff good and clean. The lighting in my photos isn’t too great, might need to take it outside and get a couple better pics. Anxious to see your Tiny Tiger 400 when you’re done with it.

Finally got around to cleaning this one up a bit. Also got it running today, took a few more attempts than usual but once it fired it ran pretty strong. It’s always satisfying to fire these up!

Good for you! I had that on my watch list and had every intention to bid and somehow I totally forgot when it was ending and missed it...
