I could have bought 316ss 10 for $17.00 however I opted for the chrome, they in a very non-corrosive environment, and should last. I like the change in the diaphragm arm where a rubber tip is used, rather then the ball.. I will receive the chrome balls next week and if rusted will return, tks for the warning My tiny tiger and type 133(olive drab color) are running excellent. the type 127 is the one I am working on.
the motor type 127, there is number 2 on the internal of the housing, the tutorial with the paper assist insertion of the spring shows a number one. I notice the spring was upsidedown, comparing to the paper assist tutorial, and no ball. I think its a 5/32 ball,,change the valve diaphrams also?? if you have the parts bill and send tks art
tkis, another comment on the governor , when I manually operated the governor flapper, the rod did not move the butterfly, slightly or at all, is this a spring tension , lubrication or other problem? this excessive rpm problem will probably never happen, but just curious how things work ,on most carburetors when you close the butterfly you add more gas
tks, I used hondabond to seal my tank, very runny, virtually no inst. other then wait one minute. the hondabond site best comment , was coat each side, and when it stars to get sticky, put together .the other brands loctite 518, dirko ,threebond ,permatex motoseal 29132 very expensive for the couple of drops needed!!! I dried my tk. overnight will check in a few hours( another thought hondabond says the gasket peals off easily, with all the vibration of a running, will it shake loose?)
you could make an inline filter like the in tank filter, however why bother, the in tank filter might plug once a " century" and then back blow it, flush the tank and good for another "century"!!! another question is the governor vane, when I remover the cover to expose the vane,
and rotate manually, to what appears to be the maximum deflection( air flow at some excessive rpm) there does not seem to be enough movement in the rod to move the governor butterfly, to open and reduce the rpm?
why not use an external inline filter(you may need to clean it, in the future) I used a 5/8" flat bottom steel rod to tap out bottom via the fuel nozzle, it came out easily with no distortion, you can do this with out removing the tank
Is the brass adjustment screw on the carb the needle valve to adjust the voltage with the 300 watt bulb? and the screw on the motor side the idle adjustment, this screw appears to control the rpm, I am confused about how ,these two adjustments interact. If ytks artou could explain the function of each
tks I took a 5/8" flat bottom rod and gently taped out bottom of tank plate,(went through fuel nozzle) it came out very easily with no distortion, there was no rust, scraped and wire brush the groove on tank and plate ,ready to bond. the fuel filter had fallen off years ago and had installed a inline fuel filter outside of tank( more logical) Do you recommend using the new 2 stroke oil or the 30wt in the fuel? Any special reason you recommend honda bond?tks for all your help, O@R not my primary interest, if your ever interested in my stuff , fwill offer a good deal
seems like the tiger is operating at full rpm 6300 and voltage at 135 plus, ether the vane is not working or is this normal? I put a pin in the governor at the carburetor and blocked it to reduce rpm and reduce voltage. I notice a weep of fuel at the edge of the metal plate inserted in the bottom of the aluminum fuel tank, should I seal it in place or knock the bottom out via the fuel inlet and reseal., If you have a chance check youtube RADIAL 1941 LYCOMING ,its me starting R-680 airplane engine tks art
I do not understand how the governor vane works. the flywheel vanes produce a air stream that engages the governor vane and activates the throttle via the spring(rod) this appears to be a fixed and nonadjustable value. so if I set the needle valve at the 300 watt value, how does the governor vane function in this situation. My guess is at some rpm value the governor would be static and if the motor loads up , the air flow to the vane would drop allowing the throttle to open to maintain that value. tks
good idea, bought this tiny tiger 8 years ago for $50 , it has the original box and paper work(not prime condition) I may buy a junk unit to get the arm. the other thing that concerns me, since there is no voltage regulator, rpms control the voltage? the instructions say to hook up to 300 watt light bulb and adjust the idle screw to maintain that value. tks
It is model #111 sn #023390 the idle adjustment is on top of carburetor between diaphram and motor, it is a small spring loaded lever that adjusts the govenor, located on the side of the carburetor, the serial # of the power unit is 07461, the
unit runs fine, and generates but need to control rpm, tks
