A very very special THANK YOU to JustO&R!  With his help the engine now looks as good as new! Definitely makes it a really nice and complete original engine again. Can’t thank you enough!
 

I'm guessing they end up in Utopia along with the missing socks from the dryer. Lots of free stuff goes there! Lol

Just now starting to get things unpacked and set up in the project room. Starting with a fresh work bench...  won’t stay pretty for long!

Well, the engine arrived this afternoon. It’s incredibly disappointing to receive what looks to be a brand new engine only for it to get damaged during shipment. The new tank was crushed, man that’s irritating!

Found this model H  O & R engine at our local auction today.

Well, it only takes about 9 or 10 months to do something which used to get done in a day or two. Finally got around to and made some time to assemble this cutoff saw. It's not 100% done as I need to make a grommet for the carb intake to match up with the hole for the air cleaner and I'll install a new carb while I'm at it. Still need to order a new blade too and do some clean up on it.
Used to be able to go through these quickly but didn't look for the specialty tools I made for easier access to the tough to reach bolts an such. Luckily the recoil went fast and got that the first try.
 

 

I think I found my diaphragm material today while unpacking. Probably time to get in touch with Eric again.

Got the H engine today not bad tank need a little T.L.C. coil shot will need to change turns over good
I think just a good tear down and a tank rebuild it will be good . Oh ya the carb will need done .

Well hope to see you back on here soon it hard to keep these guys Entertained

Will I finally got this back together not sure how the throttle rod will work but seems to work ok on the bench.
When we get some good weather I will see if I can fine a brave sole to try it.

Wow, that’s a beauty- almost looks mint condition! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Model F before.  You definitely find the good ones!

These outboards could be powered by either gas or 12v electric and the power heads could also be coupled together for a gas powered 12v dc generator to charge batteries.

Arrived on Thursday, rebuilt engine and restored over the weekend. This is the first one of these that I had ever seen.

I have many carburetor kits for ohlsson &Rice on eBay user name meatballbutch 

Yes it would take a lot of time to both figure out the correct parts & find them, hence why I suggest looking for an engine block (the sort that RC modellers have removed/lost bits from) and transferring the good parts from your engine to that one. As I did to restore the yellow Tiny Tiger which must have suffered a similar failure.
 
 
And refilling the tank every hour.
 
Don't forget they advertised them as being suitable for powering all sorts of equipment, plus battery charging (just imagine your miles from anywhere with a flat battery & the O&R won't start either), or even cook the worlds smallest goose (below).

I haven't seen much for sale in the UK recently, but found this nice condition engine for sale on ebay in France, it's an early Model F with 6.921 to 1 ratio gearbox for 900 R.P.M. output shaft speed.

 

 

 
Decals on this engine, not many had the Model printed on the O&R eagle logo decal, I've noticed that it isn't stamped into the crankcase on this engine either.

 
The gearbox for the Model F has no clutch fitted, a Model J was also made if you needed the same specification but with a clutch, Model J engines seem to be more common than the Model F. Below is part of the 1961 price list showing these two models.

After a session in the fettling shop...
 

Hi, 
I found your site while trying to get info on a recent find.
From the looks of it, I found a intact and in good appearance, O&R Compact lll Orline compressor, compressor made by WR Brown. I did a quick check of the engine, removed the spark plug, gave it a shot of oil, then removed the disintegrating air filter foam, then gave it a spray of 2 stroke fuel and the damn thing started. That’s as far as I have gotten.
 I have a few questions, how common are they, and can one get manuals for it, or how do I get in contact with someone who knows, or is somebody looking for these? The last thing I want to do is ruin it with ignorance.
Thanks for any assistance,
Beer Man

The best pics are In the carb thread factory or wallfish  can help you  the best I'm still new myself  only started  collecting them a few year's  ago . I have learned a lot in the last few mount's .
