Interesting cut away to view inside an O&R engine

This is a bulletin from the manuals concerning the carb arm adjustment. .017 - .022 inch

Welcome to the forum!
Very nice job saving another piece of O&R history. Your Power Pole has the removable powerhead to be used with other attachments. The only other one I'm aware of at this time is the outboard but hopefully we'll find others too. Some of these have a different engine mount and are only used as snow throwers. If you search "Power Pole" you can see Webhead's version is like that. You'll also find a video of mine throwing snow, they actually work very well
What all did you have to fix and/or replace?

Glad you made it here!
I do have a spare cover like you can see on the water pump. Just hate to cut it. The manufacturer cut the bottom off to mount them on the chainsaws since the tilt of the engine does not leave enough room for it.
The saw has been done for a while but I'm still undecided about cutting a cover to fit. I do like the finished look of the covers but doesn't look too bad without it. Here's a blow up pic of the chainsaw cover

Joe posted a display pic of the 4 Comet Tote'N Tools a while back so I put mine together for a similar pic. The drill is the same but tagged as Drillgine instead of Tote'N Tools. I've been debating on whether or not to cut a coil cover to fit the chainsaw. Maybe when it's painted I'll decide.

I don't know what would be more annoying...the bugs...or this thing running in the background Take a look at this ad from way back when (1970). The shipping costs are a good laugh.

I acquired a Comet Pump at the Dublin NH engine show this weekend. It appears to be an early unit. It has the older style coil, a round governor rod, 10mm spark plug, a blued steel air deflector and a carb with a side mounted needle. The tank is painted with the same aluminum hammertone as the Comet saw. The attached pictures show it in the "as found" condition. Haven't even dusted it off yet.

Arrived on Thursday, rebuilt engine and restored over the weekend. This is the first one of these that I had ever seen.

This strange saw uses a blade with teeth on it which are like a chainsaw. Cuts about a 3/4 inch size dado joint into lumber and is believed to be used for lumber framing. 2 passes will make a groove to fit a 2 x 4 standard US stud

I finally finished the project. Got the foot pegs added and got the engine squared away. I rode it last night. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Believe me, once was enough for someone my age!! It is fast and the steering is quick.

At the Bernardston show last Memorial Day, a friend gave me a beat up mini bicycle. At the same show I bought an iffy Chickenpower engine for $50.00. Here they are today. For reference, the tires are 8" diameter. I figured that I would take pictures before the first test drive - just in case.

These outboards could be powered by either gas or 12v electric and the power heads could also be coupled together for a gas powered 12v dc generator to charge batteries.

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

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.
