As best as I can tell this is a first generation drillgine with the O&R type 100 3/4hp engine (serial 013352). I bought this drill a while back. It was seized up tight. I tried my best to save this one. It sat in my heated ultrasonic for three days vibrating away. I even went to the extent of putting the crankcase in my lathe to cut the cylinder off to save the piston and rod. Sadly the engine was too far gone and it was not meant to be. When my parting tool grabbed the port on the steel liner the crankcase got pulled out of the chuck on my lathe and bye bye went the crankcase. I was able to save the crankshaft from this mess. I am not going to get around to this project anytime soon so I figured I would offer it up for parts should someone be needing them for their drillgine, or if someone wanted to be ambitious and rebuild this one. I did find one repair on the drill which actually looks well done. The drill case has been tig welded up and someone added a little bent steel bracket to better support the handle. I realize this is not in great shape, and I am not looking to get rich on it.  I will ship this drill anywhere in the USA. Please send me a private message if interested with your offer.
 
Thanks

I can supply you with a new diaphragm. $10 each
you can email me at
uremailing@yahoo.com
That's the reason it will only run briefly. Plus you should clean that carb thoroughly.
I can probably throw in a pc of fuel line tooo
 
The original fuel caps were a bottle type but have the little flip up spout. I'll try and get a pic.
 

Hello, I just got this mini outboard I have some questions.
First time on any forum also I'm not to sure how this goes
 
Can anyone give me a link to where I can get a new diaphram? 
My fuel line falls off very easy I don't think it's correct.
Where can I get the correct one, I got it running briefly there's is airbubbles in the line when I push the prime button.
It starts then dies after a few seconds, unless I repeatedly push the prime button to force fuel in.
Lastly I need a fuel cap mine spills gas everywhere when it runs. The one on it is from some sort of bottle. 
 
If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it, hard to find much info on it. 
 

Hi Mike, Good collection and restoration work I presume on your behalf. A fellow Countryman of yours who left the Forum several years ago, also was a Briggs collector.
His name was Matt, but left us many images. Here is a link to just one of his contribrutions, but if you scan for his others on pages 4 & 5 also of this section, you'll find many-

First picture of me and my brothers 15 hp Fairbanks Z running an IH hay press at the county fair this year, it also has the factory water pump and Fairbanks Mag. Second pic is of the 15 and also my 6hp IH model M

I charge $10 each for diaphragms
 

Check ebay completed listings and that might give you some idea of what people are paying.

Here is what I got this weekend at a show. All NOS parts. Still not sure what some of them are for. A friend got them at a show for me and I picked them up this week.
 
 

Here is the newest addition to her O&R collection. It appears to be NOS with the factory box. The serial numbers match.

Next Saturday is a smaller get together up in Maine so figured I'd bring up some of the stuff that doesn't go to the big shows. They haven't seen the light of day in a LONG time so it'll be nice for people to see them. They're too small and expensive to leave unattended at the big shows although I have never heard of any stealing of anything at any of them.
Just a small sample and will probably bring about 20-25 tools or so depending on available time to get them out. Pictures of the entire display all together next week

Thanks! I appreciate it. I think mine was run on 50:1 or straight gas at some time. It is on an insecticide sprayer so it is certainly worth fixing!  I hope to pull the cylinder soon and see how the bore looks. It appears to be a 'chrome' plated bore which I was surprised at. I was hoping it would have had a cast iron bore like the little compact engines.

Thanks!  I was really scratching my head on this one, as I have a lovely Orline chicken power in my collection, and there are a LOT of small differences between these two units. I would love to complete this one, as I want to run two of them on my bicycle at least once!

Also as a side note, I forgot to mention. There is no primer on the AEP bicycle engine. This carburetor was on this engine when I bought it, but there were a few other busted up carbs in a bucket of loose parts with it, and I wasnt sure which it had. Would this have had a primer carburetor?

Also, if anyone has a type number for this AEP bicycle engine, can you please share it. I will need to hunt down the right parts for it at some point.

I picked up what I believe to be an O&R Compact III Chicken power bicycle engine. It was seized up when I bought it. I have since blasted and free'd it up. It will certainly need a lot of love. However what I am curious about is the recoil housing, and the manifold/muffler on this engine. All of the Orline/Chicken power bicycle engines I have seen had the common 'teardrop' O&R blower shroud. This one has the later boxy blower shroud. This one also has an odd exhaust manifold with a threaded end. This is the first I have seen a threaded exhaust manifold on an O&R. Is this engine just an odd combination of parts?  There are no numbers on the engine anywhere, and sadly the one sheet metal shroud that would have had some stamped information is missing. There are no numbers stamped on the flats of the crankcase.

For your amusement is the rare 6 port O&R engine!  This engine was put away "running", as I am sure most are! This little O&R must have been dug out of a lake bed. The muffler was completely packed full of mud. I bead blasted the engine and submerged it in my heated ultrasonic cleaner for three days. I gave the cylinder a wiggle with my O&R cylinder removal tool, and snap, the connecting rod blew in half. With the cylinder separated from the crankcase I re-blasted the engine this time getting under the piston, and into the crankcase. The crankcase free'd up within an hours time in the ultrasonic. The piston was a job the grease gun fought with. I am surprised to say that this little casting can actually take 5,000psi of force, as the bypass on the pump hit a few times as heat was applied. The little piston finally came out, and it was rusted and corroded all over. It turns out that the mud in the muffler eat through the cast iron liner into the cylinder. So much for trying to save the cylinder!  This one is a goner. I will have to put a donor piston/cylinder/rod in this one when I go about replacing all of the needle bearings. I thought you guys would like to see the pictures even though the situation isnt the greatest. The pump has been loosely reassembled and now has spark, so that is a good thing!

Our old website host no longer is around so we had to start over and redo our site. Here is the current link to my wife's O&R collection

Here is a link to my wife's O&R collection. She also has a Tiny Tiger (not pictured) that is partly disassembled. It all started with the yellow pump (Type 217) that a friend of her grandfather gave me.

If there is anything I can help identify, let me know the part number(s).

Wow, that’s a nice haul! If you decide to part out anything - I’m in line behind Wallfish.
 
I think those rubber boots are carburetor intake connections for the old Groomer weed eater.

Nice find! You are carb heavy now
I'd be interested in these!
Well, actually I'd be interested in all of it but let me know if you're willing to part with those boots and cable. I don't know what the black boots were used for as an O&R application but I have a tractor project that needs boots for 3/4" rod
