The information sheet that came with one of my Tiny Tiger generators states the frequency is 105 C.P.S. (Hz), but this will vary a bit with engine speed. Tiger Manufacturing Company Inc Tiny Tiger Generator General Information Jan 1964.pdf David.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the leads and link plug, from the manual I posted in post 14, the brass terminals are always the battery charging output on all the Regina Champ versions. Measuring the brass output terminals with a voltmeter (with the plug in each position and no load connected) will confirm the plug does select between 12V & 24V, the voltage measured may be a little higher with no load connected. I don't recommend the method in the manual for checking the polarity of the battery, using a voltmeter is a much better idea. Don't forget to change the air filter foam, as it will crumble to dust even though it's new/unused and get sucked into the engine. I have quite a few different plugs that look similar to the white plug that came with yours, the pin spacing is not always the same on them and forcing an incorrect one in will break the socket, the picture below shows a broken socket removed from a Champ that I restored. David

It looks like an ex US military replacement engine, they often appear for sale on ebay. They rarely seem to come with an air filter or muffler though. Is it marked type 133 on the edge of the engine mount? The only use I've seen is the Champ generator, see this thread in the O&R section of the forum; I do wonder if they had other military applications though as the mount is incorrect for the Champ generator. David

Excellent, glad I could help. Although I can't believe I missed the both the ebay listings as I have a saved search for Turbair stuff, I only found it when looking at the ended listings. David

There is a bottle attached to this electric Turbair Flydowner which didn't sell, it may be worth asking the seller if they would sell it separately and if they have any more. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152116600320 David

Here is another mystery O&R found on the Italian version of Gumtree, when I did a web search. http://www.kijiji.it/annunci/ricambi-e-accessori/milano-annunci-milano/motori-ohlsson-rice/12904382 Not sure of the intended use but maybe it's a crop sprayer. David

Maybe you could try printing out the chemicals page from post 7 & write wanted empty bottles on it and put it by the sprayer when you take it to shows. David

The model 13B spring should go back something like this; I have the procedure for reassembling the starter for the later model 20A engine, it may be a little confusing though as the 20A could be altered to change the rotation of the engine. And assembling it the wrong way results in a broken spring. I've only seen a decal/sticker on the fuel tank for the later Drillgine with the model 13B engine, none of my saved pictures show any decals on the square recoil spring housing. David

I've scanned the instructions for the Regina Champ, the quality isn't great as it's a photocopy, had to a bit editing to clean it up. The original page size is approx 5.7 x 9.4 inches. Regina Champ Petrol Engine Driven Alternator.pdf David

Apparently there are five different versions that were offered by Regina Electric Products Ltd. of North Acton Road, Harlesden, London, NW10. I don't know if there any other versions of the KC Wiggins one, I haven't seen another since I bought mine. The UK versions are based on the US made Varo Amp Champ, which can be found in this thread: The standard models made by Regina are; H110, 230V AC/DC & 12V DC outputs, H111, 230V AC/DC & 24V DC outputs, H112, 115V AC/DC & 12V DC outputs, H113, 115V AC/DC & 24V DC outputs, The mains voltage outputs are rated at 350W for AC & 300W for DC, the low voltage DC output is rated at 150W. The model H114 is a combined 12V/24V DC unit for battery charging and is rated at 250W. I have a photocopy of the Regina instructions, it doesn't give any clues to how to wire up the model H114, but given that the middle terminals are the output, it must have had a removable link plug to select either 12V or 24V. Did yours come with any connectors or cables? David

Welcome to the new forum. I have added two engine parts diagrams scans that should cover most O&R types (I have earlier one to scan yet) and the starter instructions (which were on the old forum). These are in the thread linked here: The new Regina Champ generator looks familiar, was it the 12V/24V version that was sold a few years ago with the original cables? If it was I don't suppose you could add a good picture of the cables to the Regina Champ thread, as they are always missing. The Turbair doesn't look too bad, the paintwork is in better condition than mine, I have parted restored mine but haven't decided what to do with the chrome on the fan guard, which is very badly rusted. Also don't attempt to clean the sticker on the fuel tank as it will probably end up blank, like some similar labels at work did (though that didn't matter as they were going to be replaced anyway). David

Here is another bit of information on the needle valve setting for needles with an X on the valve head, this valve has a .015" orifice along the tapered seat of the valve. According to instructions the setting is to have the valve gently bottomed. I'm sure I have some carbs with an X on valve head and but haven't tried this procedure yet. David

Here is a ebay picture I found of the O&R winterising procedure, that came with an engine supplied through Rupert Ledger & Co. Ltd. (the UK distributor for O&R engines). It also mentions using a teaspoonful of oil in the cylinder and stopping the piston halfway to prevent damp air entering via the exhaust. David

It has been re-listed, it will be interesting to see how much it goes for. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ohlsson-Rice-O-R-1HP-Engine-TILE-CUTTER-NEW-MINI-BIKE-Go-Kart-/121980468259 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ohlsson-Rice-O-R-1HP-Engine-TILE-CUTTER-NEW-MINI-BIKE-Go-Kart-/121980468259 David

Thanks for posting this one, never saw it on ebay, I'm convinced some non UK items don't show over here, even if I look on the ebay US site. They must have been offered a lot to end early with bids from 7 different people, ebay now discourage ending items early over here and may even charge fees if it had bids. David

From the O&R 20A manual; Points gap is 0.015" to 0.018" Coil to flywheel gap is 0.010" Spark plug gap is 0.025" The ESA 1973 parts manual gives the spark plug gap as 0.030" David

I have scanned the pages from the model 20A maintenance manual that cover the carb, hope it helps. Model 20A Maintenance of Carb.pdf David

Here is a advert from 1973 found online that has two O&R powered Lancaster chainsaws, the 20SLA Automatic that Lee has and the 15SLA Mini Automatic that I have. Also attached are some pictures of my smaller Lancaster 15SLA Mini Automatic with the 13B engine. The air filter is different to the standard ones fitted to O&R's, also the instructions aren't quite right as the chain oiler is automatic. David

The O&R part no. for the rings used on the Model 20A engine is 200023. Don't forget to clean out the remains of the air filter, as they disintegrate just as well as the earlier engines. David

They do seem quite rare, I had also only seem one other sell in the US and another that sold in South Africa in 2013 here; http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/89694683/1962_PETROL_POWERED_DRILLING_MACHINE_Chug_A_Drill.html I did a google search for "Chug-A-Drill" this evening, there were only 8 results, including one that didn't sell for $1000!!! Also found was a new looking 1HP Almico branded one (still has Petro cast into the handle), someone definitely got a bargain; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gasoline-powered-Drill-/221729491998 its so nice I've added some pictures of it before they disappear. . Lastly an article from 1962 in Desert Magazine, on page 6 from here http://dezertmagazine.com/mine/1962DM07/files/196207-desertmagazine-1962-july.pdf Sounds like a good idea, it will probably be tin though, it may be possible to solder on a brass band to overlap the join. David

Another UK find that I bought earlier this year, seems to be the remains of a Chug-A Saw, sadly the seller didn't have any other bits of it. The engine serial no. is within 1000 of the two Chug-A-Drills I have. David

Spare used or new old stock tanks for Ohlsson & Rice engine seem to be a rare as hen's teeth, has anyone ever had any new tanks made? Or found anything similar & easier to find that would fit? David

A rare find in the UK, a pair of Petro Chug-A-Drills, I was going to put these in the other Chug-A-Drill thread but they are not yet restored. Unfortunately there is only one tank between the two & it's badly crushed! No other damage though and both are free to turn over. David

Here is part of an ad for the early Amp Champ that I found here; http://forums.tomm.com.au/index.php?topic=164.0 David

I should have spotted that!!! I guess the military got bored with removing the serial numbers from all of them. David
