No slack at all. the "epoxy" or whatever it is holds and isolates the winding wires. You can pick it out carefully and solder the wire back but be sure to cover it again. Something like liquid electrical tape should work.

Here's the recoil rebuild tutorial which might be helpful.
-
I just use my fingers. Wind a bunch of wraps then pull on it so it tightens up the coil then pinch it tight again and repeat as many times as it takes.
The factory new spring retainer is a piece of steel shaped like a C which keeps it tight in a package and makes then easy to install. You can make one out of a 1/8" sliver of 2 inch pipe. I think even PVC pipe would work.
Wind the spring by hand, then let it uncoil into the C shaped retainer. That way it can easily be placed into the recoil housing. Then the retainer is removed while holding the spring down in the housing with your thumb. Let it uncoil slowly in the housing until it's tight
-
Sorry, I did post a pic of the pieces.
You should have a 3 piece muffler now so the piece in the center is the spacer and they can be stacked as many as you want
-
Stack spacers
Cone piece on the exhaust collector, spacer, spacer spacer spacer spacer (How ever many you want) then the face piece.
-
There's one cap that has the face with the little holes and the rest are the spacers with bent tab holes at the bottom. You can stack as many as you want but you'll need to make a threaded rod piece for whatever length you stack them to retain it. You can typically find longer screws at the hardware store and just bend the end like the one that;s on there now. Pretty sure the thread size is #6

Tiny Tiger Generator Operating Instructions Models 5001-1 & 5001-2-1.pdf

The 2 small posts are already 12v DC. They were mostly used to run the 12v electric starters for RC stuff but it should also work to charge 12v batteries as well.

Those small mufflers can be stacked but finding them at a reasonable cost may be difficult. Lots go missing because people take them off and don't put them back so everyone is always looking for mufflers and air cleaners.
-
Yours is a model 350? Like pictured above? That style is quieter than a 300 is.
The 300 just used the common little black mufflers/spark arrester.
Are you using that for camping or something? Like the outboards do, if you run a metal hose from it into a bucket of water all you will hear is water bubbling so maybe you could experiment with that????
-
The Tiny Tiger model 350 used a different style muffler. Or search on epay for 2 stroke muffler and maybe adapt one.
-
How many is she up to now?
-
That's a nice find. Cool little generators
It's either a Dyna-Mite or a Life sav r
-
Nice, let me know if you need that one I PMed you about. I have diaphragms too.
-
Found a housing and a needle ( #21, 25 ) but not the little parts, washer, o ring or spring ( 22, 23, 24 ). You can get those at any good hardware store or find something online
Did you ever open the carb to make sure the other parts are there? Someone lost the valve so you should check EVERYTHING to make sure you don't need anything else.
You can do everything else on your engine like cleaning the points if it doesn't have spark now, fix the recoil (DO NOT DRILL OUT THE RIVET), etc etc. Fire it up with a squirt of 32:1 mixed fuel to verify it's a running engine. And you can also check the generator when it fires off too. If it doesn't run or generate power, does taking my last valve make sense? Your welcome to it if you need it!
-
You need the gasket, the plastic check valve, the complete needle valve.
Probably a diaphragm
Have you opened up the cover to see if any other parts are missing in there? Arm, spring, bearing ball?
I'll take a look around to see if I have a complete valve,
-
Are you referring to the actual needle valve?
Some of the older engines had a smaller needle valve on the side of the carb and a screw which holds the diaphragm assembly to the lower carb body. Newer models have the the needle holding the diaphragm assembly to the carb body.
Maybe a pic would help determine what carb you have and what you're missing.
-
I'll poke around for one those today. Do you already have a new carb diaphragm to install?
-
The springs can go in and out so they just need to be set back in place as long as they aren't broken. I don't remember ever seeing a distinct clutch assembly drawing but there may be one on here somewhere, I just couldn't find one. There are a couple of different clutch setups so not knowing exactly what you are working with makes any details or advice difficult. How about posting a picture of it?
-
Think I can find a spare.
Where are from?
Do not use a wrench to tighten them and they don't need to be very tight either.
-
The wire should go to a kill switch button on the handle to shut down the engine by grounding the coil. Location of the switch depends on the model.
One port is an air vent. It goes from the bottom of the tank to just inside of the fuel cap. The other port is the fuel feed to the carb.
More than likely it will need a new carb diaphragm to run or run correctly. Check the air filter BEFORE trying to start it. If it has that old crusty material inside, it will need to be thoroughly cleaned out. Otherwise it will be sucked into the engine. Not good.
If you use the search feature you can find other threads on the Drillgine drills.
Here's a link to the search results for "Drillgine" in topics only. There are threads on the early reds and later yellows

Re use them if possible. I've reused many without issue if they were not damaged
If they were damaged, search "High Temp gasket material" to cut your own. The O ring isn't anything special and can be found with a search for that size as well
-
@factory David may be able to help you out as he's from UK, but he hasn't been as active on here recently.
-
It's not very common for one of these coils to fail, except the early models had a smaller tension plug wire that could more easily get damaged.
I'm assuming your engine does not have spark. Have you cleaned the point contacts under the flywheel? If you parts are not damaged you may not need parts.
-
RPM at full throttle is 6300 So yeah, they scream a little bit
Governor is never "guaranteed" but they seem to work very well. I've never had one fail while the engine is running. It's controlled by the spring on the bottom of the carb. No adjustments are available on those older versions. Newer ones have a lever that can adjust tension on the spring
Diaphragm should be soft and pliable for best results. Wrinkles indicate it's probably old and stiff.
