JUST O&R

Pulled the wheels off to do some more work on the little bike. Here's the divot in the tire from the first video when it didn't have enough friction. It doesn't look that deep in the pic but it shaved off a good amount.
Too bad it didn't create any smoke or I would do a video of burning out that whole tire.

Got the fan all cleaned up and did the carb but then just wanted to see, hear and feel it run. Still need to do a yellow tank and the fuel line

Just decided to work on this generator today it been slow here I guess because of fathers day. Thought I would get her running
before I set it on the shelf wiring looked pretty good . I'm not going to take the generator off of the engine and mess up the wires.
the rest looks pretty good .

Good advise, I don't use the gasket punch kit very often and didn't at work much either (I used to repair train electronics, occasionally a new case seal or some custom mica insulators needed making).
 
I've now made some more of the carb gaskets, without cutting them out before punching the holes. I was previously using a piece of chipboard that came in the packaging of a well known flatpack bookcase. I've now found another piece as the other one was rather worn out from punching cylinder & induction gaskets.

 

 
Here are some from the batch I have made, with a third sheet of thinner gasket paper to get the correct thickness to match the original pair of red gaskets used between the induction housing & carb. I haven't checked yet but the thinner one maybe similar to the single gasket used on the early O&R engines.

This arrived today all the way from Australia
 
Now with the rest of the display
 


 



 

Couldn't resist the urge to go out and tinker again after seeing Terry @JUST O&R on that skateboard. That was great stuff and glad we finally wore you down to go out and give it a try.
So, Got'er some more friction with a big azz spring and some more tire pressure. It won't carry me up the slight incline that well but gets moving going down.  The biggest thing I noticed was my ever increasing bald spot.
The ball's in someone else's court now!
 
 

I got a $20 sees he won't do it

Bit more done front grill done seat fixed steering wheel lowered I used a bit of metal hat used to screw to the wall to hang your tidy bins on I just cut the hooks off
 
 

I wonder why I thought of Mad Max and Hannibal Lecter when I saw that grill.

Another mini-bike for everyone to add to their want/search lists. I found the Holder Micro Cycle on another forum a while back, it uses the O&R Series 20A engine and the gas tank is part of the bike frame.

The 4 page magazine article from "Mini Bike Guide" November 1971 gives the incorrect spelling of Olsen & Rice instead of Ohlsson & Rice;

Sometime? Now all the video pressure is on you.
 
Looks like Terry beat my land speed record so I'll get the bike tuned for the street and give it another go this weekend

Not like diving a mini bike this thing wont turn but it does barn rubber.

Well she's down off the shelf and on the counter . need to check it over and get some extra insurance ( just in case )
I hate to put fuel in it because I will have to take the carb back off and clean it . but its on like donkey Kong now !!!!
Need to figure out how to put seat belts on her and away will go.
 
 
 

I thought I showed you how to fix those old bent up tanks. You need to pay attention .
You need to save that you can or are you a parts changer

I've had this unknown O&R powered pole trimmer for a few years (thanks to Wallfish for his help), I'm not 100% sure of the intended use, if anyone has seen one or know what it is please let us know, the pictures below are from the ePay listing.

 

 
Here are some pictures of the engine & cutter assembly as it arrived and has been for a few years since.

Something more like this then, add one of those Turbair bottles & it can do the crop spraying too.

OK, went for the crazy daredevil ride of a lifetime. Check out the risky off roading over the grass!
Youtube was a pita so shortened it to copy directly. Hopefully you guys can view the video but let me know if you can't.
Just threw some stuff on it so I could ride it and thought it would be funny. Still have lots to do but doubtful I'll ride it after it's done and painted.
Now it's Terry's turn for that skateboard

Had some traction issue with the friction wheel. I'll figure out how to crank that down so it bites into the tire better. You can see it peeling the tire in the pic with all that black on the frame.
 

That looks great keep up the good work

Here are some pictures of the Champ generator now the engine has been reattached, taken in-between the rain today.

Decided to make me a little fuel can for priming after a full carburetor rebuild.  This has a nice little pump on it.

You have no change winning that race  That's coming out great when you get done you can made me one . very nice
