I have some diaphragm material. Maybe we can go in together and get a batch laser cut by Eric. It’ll have to be after my move but between us I think we could get 50 or so made.
I’ll second that Just O&R! This group is awesome and Wallfish, Factory and Webhead are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I’m always learning and having fun!
I might be able to help you with a diaphragm too but it’ll be a few weeks since all my stuff is packed up for a move across the country. Just keep us posted what you decide to do. The eBay option with meatballbutch is also a fair price for the gasket, diaphragm and little valve piece if you’re looking to get it quickly.
yes, I was quite bummed when that thing got damaged and lost in the mail because they don’t come up for sale very often. I think I’ve seen 2 NOS adjustment needles come up on eBay over the last year and that was one of them...
I don’t know if any sources for parts other than keeping a watch on eBay. This forum is also great and everyone tries to help each other out whenever possible with spares.
It’s funny and also sad- I bought a NOS needle valve a few months back on eBay but it ended up puncturing a hole in the envelope and getting lost during shipping. All I got was an empty damaged envelop. That was a royal bummer!
Here is my son enjoying running around the Cuttyhunk Island harbor with the small O&R outboard I had. It used to push my 3 kids and and 2 of us easily everywhere.
Nice photo Neons, that’s a beautiful area!

okay, I was looking in the wrong place
I`m assuming this controls the air fuel mixture?
Yes. They’re a little finicky sometimes to dial in.
The largest of the 4 Philips screws in the photo is the one that should be a brass needle valve. It’s the screw that is closest to the heat shield, kind of right near the arm-pit of the heat shield. You can kind of make out the needle valve in the photo that O&R posted.
I have some of the little steel balls. I ended up buying a bag of each size. If you’re not in a hurry I could probably get you one in November. All my stuff is packed up for a move.
Man it’s hard not being able to work on these things and look at them...
If you’re in a hurry the diaphragm and gasket can be purchased on eBay...
Apparently ... you never know where the road is going to take you.... I’m going to miss the lush green and lakes and fall colors for sure. I guess tumble weeds and cactus are pretty in their own way too.
That Toby Cart looks really nice! That should be a cool ride whe you’re done, have someone take a video of you on it! Is there any sort of brake or do you just drag your feet?
Thanks JUST O&R! Headed to the desert.... I couldn’t agree more- I aim to get the workbench out and unpack the O&R stuff as quickly as possible. Even when I can’t work on them it’s fun just looking at them and planning the next project. Like you said, they are a good support system.
Much appreciated, these photos are really helpful so I can make sure my tiller goes back together correctly. It looks like my handle linkage is correct so that’s good to know.
Back when you got the Little Wonder hedge trimmer I thought you were looking into designing & making a replacement with 3D printing?

It might take a little time since I just started a new job but I may have access to another technology that might make for a great solution for these little vents.
