Here is a Brochure picture of a Little Petro minibike.It was made in the early to mid 60's by Odom Manufacturing.This is the same company that made the Petro Powered Products Drill that is on this site along with quite a few other Ohllson & Rice powered tools.Jim Odom also Produced the Comet C Saw for Comet.I will be putting pictures of my Little Petro bikes on this site soon,I need to crop them all as the file size's are too big . Only about 12 of these bikes have been located to date,quite a rare bike.
This particular Brochure shows the bike with a TAS engine,but early on,they used the Olhsson & Rice.

A near NOS Tiny Tiger in original box.
It had fuel in it at one time but must have been started, fuel emptied and then put away for 50 years since it's so clean

Similar to the C/Saw circular. The only difference is the fuel tank and handle
-
This item was also branded under different names

Link to running Chicken Power My son is obsessed with this bike! I guess that he's pretty lucky to have a Dad with lots of toys.

Re: Funky early 70's EEL WHEEL scooter O & R powered
There was only a small production run of Eel Wheels made,the 1st run,30 bikes were made,the second run,less then 10 were made and that was it!! The info is from the man who made the bike,that I personally spoke with a few years ago.Here are a couple pic's of the one I restored a few years ago,I sold it,never should have,this currect one will be a keeper for sure!

These turn up from time to time but finding one with a good tank is difficult.
A design flaw of making the tank out of plastic allows discoloration, collapse or distortion of the tanks.
They're branded under the name Crème Lure and another I can't remember. Possibly more but....

ORline hedge trimmer.
This one has a throttle control which must have been an option, because these are also seen without it

I am ready for more O&R training. My brother and I are headed to Daytona swap meet. We will have circus bike and sidewalk surfer on display with O&R wanted sign. With his extra engine and my extra motor I will have an engine to rebuild train on. My first ride on Skateboard went as expected. 10ft(less than) skinned my knees and it took off full throttle, Had to run and tackle it. Would have been on America's funniest had it been filmed. I have new needs and questions. My original carb had a forward fuel line inlet, but has pad style float. New has rear facing fuel line inlet, but has ball float. need one with front/ball ?? Also ruined my new diapram with my multiple times getting ball to stop sticking and adjusting float rod right. Am waiting to go to Daytona next week and make a list of parts needed to get everything up to snuff. Thanks for all the help again Jon.

WOW, what an excellent display and collection that is!
That's the kind of display which always attracts lots of attention over here at our shows too. Lots of interesting engine stuff to see and watch it run plus all the supporting tools and information too.
-
Yup, they are a rare item plus one of the coolest O&R tools out there.
Got mine from Webhead, a friend and fellow collector who didn't beat me up too bad but it's still one of my expensive items. I am glad to have it!
Here are the pics of mine and what sold me immediately on it
-
Shipping is kind of expensive but not too bad. The 2 drills I had shipped from there in 1 box were about $85 if I remember correctly. send me a PM about it and maybe we can work something out

Trade a couple for that Turbair Tot!
I can probably collect a few and send them over if you guys are serious. These and the Tiny Tiger 300 generators seem to be the most common O&R tools available over here.
-
I posted this one here before but just adding it to the gallery. These drills were made in the UK and I had 2 shipped over.
The speed of the chuck is changed by moving it to one of the three different locations. Very unique!

This is a pair of type 106 engines. The one on the left appears to have been used in a boat. The one on the right has a centrifugal clutch and an odd muffler.

Re: Aerokits Sea Queen Cabin Cruiser
I fired up the Sea Queen over the weekend and wow, I was impressed with the power that the Octura rotary valve and carb put out. You can see, feel and hear the power. My neighbor actually came over and told me that it was the loudest boat that he has ever heard, including full sized boats! It makes a very loud crack or popping noise. I'm curious as to how much power that the performance parts really add. It might have too much power and noise for a cabin cruiser and I may switch the engine with the White Heat.

This is not mine but fellow collector Webhead's.
U R right about the chain pitch at 1/4 inch. Most O&R powered saws are 1/4 pitch chains but there are exceptions with larger saws
This is definitely one of my O&R favorites and this saw used to be the heading picture on our old forum
