Take out the screw inside at the bottom of the jaws first, Tighten a 1/4" or bigger hex tool into the jaws and strike that rather than using the key in the hole. There's too much risk of damaging the the teeth on the chuck by using the key in one of the holes if it doesn't come loose very easily. You can also use a straight 1/4" hex tightened in the jaws and use an impact gun on the other end to get it loose. Don't see a screw in the drawing above but that's how most chucks are fastened. Skip if not present

Is this what you mean?

The guy that laser cuts the diaphragms is going to get another sheet of diaphragm material from me to cut more. (even though I have plenty now but the material isn't doing anything folded up in a box on the shelf either so...) He'll cut and make just about any type of gasket so if anyone has any requests for other gaskets, please let me know and we can include it all in the same order. It's always best to send him a NOS gasket to copy but exact measurements or even the actual part will do. Was thinking about pulling apart the O&R engine I did in the rebuild thread to get that full set but I certainly won't need 100 gasket sets for 10 lifetimes and certain gaskets aren't needed regularly. BUT, I was thinking the most common stuff would be the exhaust gaskets and the very thin induction gasket. Let me know what you guys think would be the most helpful and useful to have. He posted his info here on MoM a while back so it's not limited to just O&R gaskets. If you ever need any new gaskets cut for ANYTHING he is your guy. Very easy to work with, very fair pricing, very accurate gaskets, highly recommended! The Gasket man Eric Adams carplaylb@yahoo.com

This was posted before on the old forum. It's still interesting. We had a bunch of stuff and information there and wish I could've captured it all to move here before they shut us down. Bunch of hacks over there at forumer so I'm glad Karl was nice enough to allow the O&R forum to move here.

Nope! Mine is also a Creme Lure but for some reason thought it was a Nichols. It does have the DC connections and good plastic without warping in it. Maybe there's also a Nichols out there? Never spent any time on this since it was bought except pulling out the old batteries. My O&R stuff has been neglected for far too long. Here's some pics of it 6 and 12v connections Has this little red plastic knob on the carb needle adjustment screw Not sure what or why this hole was made in the handle. The top was ground to be flat for which I would assume would be for a nut to rest flat. ??

Those instructions would be a great addition to a new Manual thread we were thinking of creating. Any chance you could send me some good clear pics of what you have? uremailing@yahoo.com I have the Nichols generator. Guess I never posted any pics for it.

Very nice example and you have the bonus of the original cardboard box. ! Many that we see have the fuel tank bowed out from fuel being stored in them. Something with the cheap plastic? Hard to find a nice one but they do appear once in a while

Just keep posting pics and I'll fix'm all from here.

We had a Japanese TAS version of one and we ran the c#@& out of that thing. No helmets, flip flops and shorts on. Modified the friction pulley to make it bigger and therefore faster. I was probably about 10 years old with 2 older brothers. They used to make me the crash dummy for mini bikes and go karts to see if our modifications worked or not. Ah, the good old days

Throttle must've came as an option so just curious because the handle is different than mine which has the throttle

Why not just take this spring? Not being used on this one

The old school type hardware stores are your friend when it comes to stuff like this. Rummage through all those old little drawers. Also look for the little carb ball bearings while your at it. So much easier to just replace those when you have a bag full that cost about $2. I haven't had the chance to look around yet and probably this weekend if need be.

NICE! Does that one have a throttle cable to the handle or just full speed?

I can check around for some old/broken carb bodies to see if any are still there.

You probably don't need to buy a manual if you just copy all the stuff David posts! LoL

Man, David is good! Bet if you poked around some you could find a replacement pump, make a handle going by the pics David provided and get another display tool out of it when you have a spare running engine. $0.02

Just can't imagine being a service tech for these engines back in the day and dealing with them everyday. It can get frustrating at times but it's different when it's for the enjoyment or for yourself and you can walk away and get back to it if needed. Is this saw the only O&R tool you have ? Send me a PM with your address for a diaphragm or two

Coming this way too. Think I got about 4 imports so far

Hey Joe!!! How the hec have you been? Great to have your insight and experience here on this one! Just couldn't help it, had to mess with ya.

Glad you found us again Chris. The good news is your spring does not appear twisted as in it will still sit flat. Use a torch to heat the ends and re-shape them to look like the pic David posted. Only heat the area you need to bend as heating it removes the spring in the spring steel. Use a set of needle nose pliers. You have absolutely nothing to loose since the spring is worthless and can't be used like it is now anyway. Repairing recoils can be frustrating but once you get that spring to hook on the places they go again, you're half way there. JUST make sure you have the spring and the rope coiled the correct direction or it's start all over. Did that a couple of times.

Never. Or, not yet Have heard of the Sno Tiger but not the pump.

Yeah, just ask my wife how much. LoL Thanks!

Check out this thread over on RS Neil. Only took 4 1/2 years to get started on it. Lol I'll also do a "project in progress" thread on here as well and post all of the highlights as the build progresses. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/79388-anyone-recognize-these-parts/

I'm not sure if that one is in my book or not. Don't recall seeing it but it's certainly been a while too
