Yes there is a UK 230V version of the Tiny Tiger, I have one rebranded as the Tiny Tor, it has a different stator winding with thinner wire & more turns to give 230V, the output frequency range will be the same as the US version it has the same number of magnets on the rotor. I don't have any bikes myself, do you have any problems with Ethanol gas/fuel and your vintage/classic bikes? I only ask as others on here have asked if it should be used with O&R's in the past, the last thread mentioning this is this one (post #6 onwards); I have heard of the Gannet engine before, three have sold in the last 3 months in the UK (none of which were air-cooled), wow they are expensive compared to O&R's. David

Thanks for adding shipping to the UK, I think the high cost is due to using Priority International, is the shipping calculated by ebay? Recently Webhead found he couldn't use the USPS online shipping service for First Class International for a couple of small parts I ordered, he sorted that by going to the Post Office. We don't get to many requests in the UK for parts, I have some reproduction carb diaphragms from Wallfish to help UK and European collectors. Sadly 'ListerDiesel" aka Peter Forbes passed away in March last year, he was the admin for "stationary-engine.net" aka Fozzers forum, the forum is currently offline, I have no idea if it will ever reappear. I hadn't seen the other links from "Mike in NC" on smokestak, thanks for posting about that. I have an original of the 1971 master price list, it doesn't tell you which engines the parts are used on and it's not much use for later parts after 1971. My later master service manual is missing the master parts price list. I will add links to the manuals thread for those. David P.S. Bonnie, the flywheels you have on ebay are both for the Series 13B engine, they are listed on the parts diagrams for 13B-401/406 and 13B-413 to 416, they are described as; 400565 flywheel (includes starter springs, dogs and retainers) 400566 flywheel with pins only?

If I had more time I probably would start a book. I have a parts diagram from 1963 on the way from Australia to fill a gap in my information, I do hope one day to find some of the obsolete early service bulletins that aren't included in the master service folder, as well as later stuff from 1975 to 1978 (the end of AEP). David

I don't know why ebay decided it was a good idea to block all international communication either, the screenshot was taken about 5 hours ago. Are you OK selling any of your O&R parts overseas? it doesn't have to be through ebay either. Do you have any original documentation to sell? Do you have any history of which service place they came from? Okay here is what I found for the parts, looking through a lot of different engine diagrams; From 13B-300 and later parts lists (Sept 1973 onwards), not used on earlier engines. 400376 gasket & O ring kit for the engine 400377 gasket & O ring kit for the cylinder only Used on Compact I,II,III & 13A engines & 13B engines before 1973. 5-14 exhaust collector gasket (lower) CNew is right, the last one is used on the late (approx 1978) AEP Groomer string trimmers fitted with the Tillotson carb & many other Tillotson carbs (not just for the O&R/AEP), still available in Tillotson carb kits, no complete trimmers have yet been found as far as we know. 201009 carb flange gasket (for Tillotson) David

The market is also going to be limited to people that are near enough to collect it from Salinas in California. David

Best to paint it, or you will be polishing it continuously to keep it clean, the paint should help prevent corrosion too. Do you have any before pictures? David

That seller has had a few parts that interested me in the past, that I couldn't contact them about. And more recently I tried to give them some helpful info about the engine type those flywheels fit, but was also unable to contact them, not sure if they don't allow any questions or have just blocked international communication (which is unfortunately very common on ePay these days). David

There is no feedback between the generator and engine, I seem to recall the generator output frequency is around double that of a mains wall outlet. Be very careful not to damage your generator, I have one here that failed at max RPM when the governor vane fell out of the carb butterfly, the output voltage is now half what it should be. Also overloading these generators can also ruin them. On all the Tiny Tigers the carb needle valve adjustment was set after the engine had warmed up, with a full load of approx 300 Watts of traditional incandescent lamps (250W to 350W). Later engines also have the governor control lever (quadrant control) for adjusting the governor vane spring pressure for required engine speed. The later manual gives information to set this to the lowest setting appropriate for the intended duty/load, it gives governor lever positions of vertical for normal loads and fully towards the muffler for heavy loads. Also for battery charging the governor control lever is used to control the charge rate. I intend to scan the Tiny Tiger manual & add it the the manuals 'sticky' thread when I have some free time. David

Must be this one; https://www.ebay.com/itm/202651831428 David

TinyTiger hasn't been on the forum since December last year, it may be best to send a PM to find out if it sold or not. David

I would suggest you add some pictures of the parts you can't identify. Also have you had a look through the information in the manuals sticky thread? David

This may be of interest on here, a vintage model plane with an early Ohlsson & Rice 3/4HP engine, the wingspan is 7ft, the engine is SN 007860 dating from around 1961. The only replacement parts I can see are magneto coil and a complete later carb primer assembly & needle valve, the original side mounted needle valve has been blocked off. As it has been converted to RC control with a servo & cable for the carb throttle control, the redundant governor vane has been removed too. Model plane on eBay.com David

Looks very nice too, was the engine built from scratch, or from a kit? I have an Original brochure/leaflet for the Sea Queen (with O&R engine & Octura accessories), it needs to scanning & adding to the manuals sticky thread when I have time. David

I thought the generator would be something much bigger than an O&R, here is a direct link to the Onan generator thread on the Ford Truck forum; https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/867881-underhood-onan-generator.html Sounds like a good start to your O&R collection. Is the Model 219 the engine type & do you have any pictures? You may want to post some pictures of the starter assembly from the Chip-A-Saw, so we can confirm the parts needed. Obviously it would be best to either start a new thread or add to another relevant thread for these. Surplus WWII era McCulloch drone engines were used on some Bensen Gyro-coptors, along with an optional O&R engine as a pre-rotator; David

I've not seen that type of die forming blocks before, but the press frame looks very similar to what they have at work for crimping large terminals onto traction motor cables, it has several sets of interchangeable die blocks for different sized crimp terminals and a hydraulic ram is used instead, something like this one: https://tranect.co.uk/hydraulic-crimping-tool-bench-mounted/ David

Here are some screenshots I did a while ago to help with posting pictures. You can either drag pictures directly into the post editor, or use the choose files option. Using the choose files option you can select the picture(s) and they will appear at the bottom of the editor. If you want the picture attached somewhere in the text, click on the place in the text you want to add it & click the + button on the picture. You can also resize pictures when they are in the text by double clicking on them & editing the sizes. Hope this helps. David

Very nice boat, I hope someone on here buys it, did you try the engine in your White Heat boat? I had an Aerokits RAF crash tender for a short time, but it had to go as it wasn't in great condition and was too fragile for my liking. It found a good home with a model boat collector who was going to restore it & convert it to electric drive. Edit: Some of the old Aerokits model boat kits are still available as laser cut kits in the UK, the Sea Queen seems to be missing from the range offered here: http://lesromodels.co.uk/product-category/boat-kits/aerokits-laser-cut-kits/ David

Welcome to the forum. Did you miss out on a Ford branded chainsaw recently, or when these were originally sold by Ford dealers? And who made the generator? I've not heard of an O&R one offered by Ford. Well O&R service bulletin S-E-083 confirms that Ford tractor dealers sold the Eagle I & Eagle II chainsaws (1.6HP Series 20A engine) and the Hawk chainsaw (1HP Series 13B engine), all of these were made by Ohlsson & Rice. David

Carb primer conversion kits were available from April 1962, so wouldn't be out of place for this saw, in fact all the others I have pictures of have primer buttons. David

Looks in very nice condition, those early saws aren't that easy to find, I'm still looking. It's had the carb replaced at some point, the quadrant control isn't found on the early ones, also one of the filler caps should be red (maybe the paint has fallen off). David

Wallfish are you still selling ohlsson and rice diaphragms? If so I'd like to buy one Both Webhead & Wallfish have them if you are in the US, I can help if you are in Europe. David

I assume you are going after originals of some of the magazines. Also note I have downloaded all the relevant pages just in case the web-links ever stop working. David

It's good to finally have all the information in one place where everyone can easily find it, before some of it was scattered all over the place in various different threads, even I was struggling to keep track of what had already been added. Plus there is lots more that will be added gradually as time allows. David

If only we could find a Sears catalog with it in, that would probably solve the mystery. I've collected thousands of pictures that can help with researching these engines over the years. Is the Sears stuff on eBay from the business seller that parts out all kinds of chainsaws? David

Well it has taken a long time, but the new manuals, brochures, adverts & magazine articles thread has finally got all the information from the old thread added to it. If anyone has any comments, finds any errors, finds something to add, or has a request for the sticky thread please post about it here. David
