David @factory Should still have some on your side of the pond. Yeah, he's worse than facebook! LoL

Amazing David You don't miss a thing! Once or twice could possibly be chalked up as luck but you do this on a consistent basis. Your photo library of O&R stuff must be massive by now

Think I have some more. I gave up trying to replace them as they are a real PITA. There must be a trick or tool to get them in. Your recoil will work fine without that clip too. Frank, your package got delayed a day. The wife brought it back in the house from the mailbox thinking it was delivered here. Looks like you should receive it Monday

Cooling shrouds are a common missing part so your best bet is to be persistent searching the auction sites for them.

Nice! A year and a half huh? Good thing you waited there when I was running late!

The small disk can be attached directly to the diaphragm using Seal All. That one goes with the rubber tipped arm. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313196453239 Those rubber tipped arms are like hens teeth but since you have the rubber piece, maybe it can be re-attached to the arm with Seal All as well. The flat side will need to be flat for it to seal properly so maybe boil it and clamp on a flat surface to cool before attaching it A little tiny dab of glue in the top of the hole to hold it. Just think'n out loud again. I don't remember ever noticing that "washer" thingy on a recoil spool before. But I can't remember what I had for dinner either so....

@factory David would probably know by the serial if that flywheel requires the older style pawls (basically non existent except for complete engines) or the newer more common style. I see an old type coil on your engine so it's possible it could be the older style. I don't have spare older style pawls but probably have the newer type and a flywheel.

The knob would have been the painted black one. Not many "knob only" come up for sale Those starter pawls are home made and have no springs attached Carbs should be the same I can look for a set of starter pawls for you and I have carb diaphragms. Might have a knob too but it won't be in perfect condition. Easy enough to use some wood filler, sand and paint. Take a look at the carb tutorial thread and disassemble your carbs to look for any missing parts.

It's special because it's an O&R powered tool like the many others Where are you located and how much are you looking to sell for? I'm interested to upgrade mine. Some of the painted parts on there look better but some are worse. Send me a private message

we can tell Was hoping to get back to cleaning up some tools and engines by now but work is still getting in the way. Crazy busy this year. Forum has been kinda slow recently too and Clint is the only one making progress.

Ouch! Guess O&R'ing is in your blood. Hopefully you heal up quick

That was a dirty one according to the used to be white towel

It could be the gearbox that's locked up. The old grease inside them gets hard as a rock. You will need to disassemble the engine and gearbox to find out which it is. Here's an older engine chicken Power thread which shows the parts. Yours is a newer engine so the gas tank would be different but the frame that mounts to the bicycle fork is basically the same

I gave up on those little spring retainers. They get removed and don't go back on and I even have a bunch of NOS clips. They are a real PITA to get back in. To remove the spool, don't pry on the spool or will get bent. Grab one of those spokes close to the center with your fingers or pliers and pull up as you rotate the spool back and forth an 1/8th to a 1/4 turn each way. You will have to "work it off" but you should see it moving up off the bearing cup. Re-install the same way but pushing down on the center with your thumb. Same process for the newer type with a retaining clip but the clip needs to be released from the groove first

That's a newer style Chicken Power. Used to power a bicycle on the front tire but you're missing some pieces. Is that the ?

Yeah, the 2 stroke oil gas tank and flashlight stand is creative. Where you from?

That's a new one on me. Warn made a capstan winch too, which has eluded my collection so far.

I didn't see a pic of the folding wheel barrow. Can you share some?

Saw and article in Lawn and Garden Tractor magazine with some O&Rs in it. So happens our MoM member Paul Mackellow @pmackellow did a write up article on some of his collection of things including some O&R stuff. Nice job Paul!

Something like this https://tenor.com/view/mowing-lawn-cutting-grass-gif-6160555

He needs to put a spark plug in there too! Saw looks great

I would cut the hole in the decal and trim some of the black circle off the outside. It will look better than a traditional decal IMO. Certainly not the end of the world to change a newer vinyl decal if you decide on an original, just heat and peel it off. Doubt there's much of a market for those decals to have a bunch made and sell, but ya never know

Yeah, no one will ever notice except an O&R expert. They don't look right when it's a hex head repair but your right, that one looks good. Use a sharpie for a black dot hole after it's painted
