    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.

    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.

    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.


    With O&R

    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....

    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.

    Fairly common ??

     

    OK if you have a spare one can you send it over please !! :)

    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.
