  1. Thank you. I’ll explore the options. I understand the piece-meal challenge.  You’ve got quite a collection of great parts. Let me know if at some point in the interim if you might be open to a multi-item order if I come up with a list of items but still very manageable for mailing/shipping. Wish I was located closer to you!


  2. Ok, rats but thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately being in MN I’m not able to do a local pickup.  Please keep me in mind if you decide to sell any of the used engine parts, tool parts or NOS O&R parts. I’m happy to arrange PayPal or other payment directly. If I ever get the opportunity to be in your neck of the woods I’ll be sure to let you know.

     

    Thanks!


  3. Hello,

        I’m still very new to O&R but learning a ton about these engines from all the great posts and enthusiasts on this forum. One thing I’m still a little puzzled by is how to distinguish between the 3/4 and 1 hp models when the decals are damaged or missing.  Are there any obvious tell-tale signs or clues that I can look for, or specific model/types?  

     

    I hope his new thread lands in the right spot.  If I’ve goofed again, my apologies and I’ll need a little guidance as it seems I’m in the right Ohlsson section when adding a new thread.

     

    Thanks!


  4. Hello David,

       Thank you, my apologies for having these threads in the wrong spot. I guess I didn’t realize you could specify location - I’m still learning how to navigate the forum. Is there an easy way to move them to the right spot?

     

    I think I’m going to get a small dental mirror to see if the fuel pick-up pipe is visible inside the tank on the carb side as you suggest. If the fuel line is all rotted I’m not sure how I’ll get in there. It looks like the bottom of the tank is glued on somehow so maybe worst case I’ll have to heat it up and try to pry off the bottom.  Yes, unfortunately the recoil starter is missing. I may use this as my learning engine to do my first full tear down and rebuild. I’m anxious to see all the internals and learn more about how they’re constructed (can’t help the engineer in me).

     

    Thanks,

    Clint

     


  5. Just picked up this Ohlsson & Rice Dyna-Mite, mainly for parts. I think it was originally an O&R Life-Savr generator but it is missing the actual generator section of the unit. Does anyone know what size cap might fit this tank or have a spare cap you might be willing to sell?  Also, the tank looks very clean inside but I was suprised to see that there isn’t any sort of fuel pick-up tube that comes down from the fuel nipple. Should it have such a thing or is the fuel sucked up by some other means?  If it is indeed missing the fuel pick-up tube are there any suggestions as a possible fix?  Thank you for all your expert advice!

  6. David,

       I bought some UNI brand green filter foam that is 5/8” thick and I can cut out the circles to replace the old filter that has completely disentigrated.  Question, the UNI manufacturer recommends oiling the foam for proper filtration. Have you found this to be a good practice even for the O&R engines or should I avoid that step, just looking for a second opinion.

     

    Thanks,

    Clint


  7. Nice, $8 is a good deal. I’ve done business in the past with Abebooks so I’ll have to check them out again as well.

     

    Yes, I think you’re correct about the BIN listings, nice catch. I’d prefer to find originals when possible so I may hold off on these for now. Anoying when people don’t specify when they are selling photo copies.

  8. Thanks David!

       I’m watching a couple eBay listings for the Small Air Cooled Engines manual. I also found a listing for a manual and parts list for an Orline chainsaw that probably has some good info as well.

       Let me know if there is anything specific you’d like for me to keep an eye out for here in the US and I’ll do my best to let you know if it shows up.  Happy to help however I can.

  9. David,

       I’m definitely hooked now with these engines, they’re addictive. Do you have any recommendations on specific operator and service manuals or other sources of information for these O&Rs?  I saw a reference in another post to the Small Air Cooled Engines manual and I plan to get my hands on one of those as soon as possible. In addition to the engines I enjoy collecting misc advertisements and technical information and thought I would see if you had any suggestions of where I might go looking.

     

    By the way, I think I’ve located some 3/32 x 3/16 Tygon fuel line.

     

    Thanks!

  10. David,

       I like the way you think. I’m going to keep it original and see what I can do to fix the stickers and clean up the paint without more of it chipping off.  I’ll have to read up on the o-ring/seal fix thread to see if I can somehow improve that issue.

     Thank you for the additional info on AEP as well. I just missed a Drillgine this past week on eBay and I’ve been kicking myself for not jumping on it. I’m still trying to learn what the value/price scale for some of these tools should be and I still don’t know what constitutes a good deal. Seems the range is quite large. If you haven’t seen it already there is a neat Warn winch O&R on there right now but they’re asking a lot for it (a lot in my book anyway) but it looks new.

  11. Wow, that’s too funny.  Yep, I met Oakslayer/Keith today to pick it up. I need to look into it further to see what he meant with the “seal leaking” reference.  As soon as I can get some fuel/oil mixed I’ll be able to run it longer and get a better sense for what issues it might have, if any. I haven’t tried the auger yet to see if it turns. It has a fair amount of chipped paint and stickers pealing off.  I need to decide if I ant to fix it up or leave as-is and just get it running well.

     

    I’m curious, are there any common problems that the later O&R engines are known for or the ones after Advanced Engine Products bought them out? This one is a model 13B.

  12. Thanks Webhead and Factory, I really appreciate your expertise and insight. I will give the Stihl oil a try. Do you think there is any value in getting the Stihl fuel premix (50:1) and adding additional oil to bring it to 32:1? Seems like the fuel they use would be better quality than service station gas that has high ethanol%. I dont know if Stihl also puts other additives in their premix that might be harmful to these older engine seals and other plastic or rubber parts.  Thanks- Clint
