Very cool, great addition to the collection. I was just thinking the other day that things have been a little quiet on here for O&R finds. I’m certainly not having a lot of luck finding any these days. Glad you landed that little generator!

Here is my wife's O&R display at our local show this year. It was before she got the Aquabug boat engine.
 
 

Here is the newest addition to her O&R collection. It has a 12VDC port, a 120VDC, and a 120VAC outlet. We bought this from a friend.
 
 

maybe some day I’ll see some
 
 

Have you guys come across this tiny mini bike called a BIG ELEPhANT? It was built in Japan and uses a Tas P7 engine or have seen one with a Tas S22? Here is a photo of the original sales brochure and it has a Big Elephant sitting on the seat of a 1969/70 Honda CB750 which probably dates it pretty well!

While digging around the internet  looking for info  on the Ouragan  and the o&r engine ..... I was lucky enough to find this thread .
I also own one of these cars  That i bought from a toy collector that did not know  what it was. 
Mine was missing the engine but over all it is very complete . I have located a o&r drill  that will likely be the power for the racer.
 And i will now check the gear box for a number !  Thanks for the shared info you have all ready  found. 
These are pretty scarce  I may have found 8 to 10  of them around the world in my searches . some cars trade and go to auction with same number or decals .
In 1966 these cars were $1200-1500 when new  (a new mustang in 66 was $2500)

This is mine after loosely assembling  to find out what it looked like ( it was completely taken apart)
 

Hello everyone.
 
I have experience in small engine repair (mainly 4 stroke) on engines no older than 15 years old. I know how 2 stroke engines work too.  I have recently obtained an old O&R engine, which seems to be in great shape.
I do not know what the engine originally came off of, it also has no markings on it with a model number (or any number for that matter).
One question I have is about the carburetor. Every carburetor picture I have seen on this forum has a red primer button, and a slotted jet on the top. Mine, however, has no primer button or a slotted adjustable jet on the top. Instead, there is a non-slotted knurled screw.
I am also confused, because my unit does not seem to have any off switch, to stop the spark.
Additionally, I am curious as to what the single point is for on an engine like this is for. On all the modern engines that I have worked on, there are no points.
I have attached some pictures too for you to look at.
By the way, I have not attempted to start it yet, as I am somewhat unsure of what fuel ratio it needs.
 

Well, got one done anyway. Took much longer to do than anticipated.
I cut some of that blue spring steel I ordered for making the carb springs. The first stuff I ordered was too thick for the carb springs and it finally found a purpose. Sliced a long thin piece off then heated and bent the edge of it into a circle to fit in the dogleg hole. Drilled out the old stuff. Put the new spring in place then dropped solder in. The bubble of solder was big so I also hammered it so it would stay very tight. Filed off the remainder and cut the spring to length. Seems to work well. UGH, only 7 more to go!
I like that gun bluing stuff so I'll probably clean them all up and coat them with that too.
 

Bases turned out really nice!  The green one almost looks laser cut.

Got the bases done for both TTs. The 400 had a steel base so I just used that gun blue stuff to cover it.
Made the 300 base out of aluminum sheet that I have. It's from a TD bank ATM cover so it's painted green and that paint is tough to get off so it's just going to stay for now and maybe get painted with some silver hammer tone when it gets warmer out.

 

 
 
And here's the White Heat engine. Probably swap that Octura valve into a water cooled head engine. I have converted glow plug engines bot air and water cooled but not sure what exactly was used for the boats.
 

hens teeth are something very hard to find if you have never seen them you properly never will .
some of use have seen them and may never see them again
some of us have them and do not know it .
some of us don't want to see them .
some of us have know idea what they are .
I'm sorry I miss this I wish I had more time to do it

The latest copy of Stationary Engine magazine arrived today, complete with a small article on some of our Ohlsson Rice machines...
 
 

Awesome- that’s the same bluing I have. Looks great! 

That did “turn” out nice. I agree, the rings are a nice flare but not needed.

Hammer restoration huh?
Man you're really getting into the crazy tech stuff.
Just bust'n, please let me know how it works out.

I’ve thought about trying that as well. I recently bought some bluing solution for a ball peen hammer restoration.  Seems like it would look good.

Band strap turned out great!  You’re cruising through these engines.
Not sure I’ve seen that particular TT, very cool!

That’s really cool that you have the Octura valve! I’ve never seen one of those before.

Upon opening the engine I saw this. A strange valve setup so I stared at it a bit confused as I can't recall ever seeing this before and was also questioning my memory.
 

 
 
 
Well, as it turns out it's one of those rare and coveted Octura made valves.
Strange that it would be on a TT 400 but maybe they ordered them for manufacturing these???? Maybe David @factory might have some insight on this. Unfortunately there's no model number stamped into it and the air baffle is a clean one so obviously changed.
 

 

 

 
 
 
 

We texted today about it and I mentioned a couple others might be interested in them too so he said he could make a template so they all come out the same. Once perfected it will be easier and faster to make them.

I gotta figure out what project to start next, got the O&R itch again!

I agree, the outboards look way better without the plastic cover!

I might be interested in a couple, send me a couple photos once you got one.
