Wallfish got a reaction from factory in Bridges MINI MOTA drill refresh
So the gear box was little bit of a pain. Getting the gaskets right took some time and ended up cutting quite a few until it was right. (looks like someone threw confetti in my office now) A gear was rubbing on the metal separation piece then something was binding just a bit when all of the screws were tight. Nice and smooth now. This engine was done and gone through already because the gaskets looked new, inside was clean as a whistle and still some engine assembly grease noticeable around the bearings. Compression is so good there was a question whether or not to even open the engine but it was worth checking anyway. I must've quit at the gearbox because of the need for making gaskets as the gearbox definitely wasn't gone through before.

Started with the gearbox. It's not bad at all since the original grease in there is still very soft. The 2 gaskets are very dry and brittle and broke coming out. I'll have to make some replacements. Luckily the 3 shaft seals for the chuck are soft and pliable, think they're still good so I'll just use them since finding a replacement would be difficult.

Wallfish got a reaction from JUST O&R in Bridges MINI MOTA drill refresh
Picked another easy quick one to do and sticking with the imports for now. Had 2 of these sent over a while ago and also sold the other one to Jim @usedtoolman with the Turbair TOT.
It basically needs a good cleaning but while it's disassembled, might as well go through the engine thoroughly and give it a good freshening up with new seals and gaskets. The gearbox gasket is leaking so a replacement for that will be made. The recoil was already done a long time ago when it was received.
Never knew they're supposed to have handle grips until other pics were posted with them. An interesting drill because the chuck is repositioned into one of 3 different locations on the gearbox to change the rotation speed.
Wait until you see the chrome cleaned up using Aluminum foil. It works wonders on these chrome handles and parts and it's quick and simple. These are in good condition to begin with but even some tough ones have been saved too.

Wallfish reacted to Brian Lynch in Carb part question
Tried using Simple Green. It removed some debris but not all. Then on to vinegar. Nope, no results. Next was 2 psi of air pressure. Nope. Figured it was a lost cause. It got the drill. Back together and it's running. Started quite easily, maybe 6 pulls after pushing the primer button. Thanks to all for the help on this. My friend's eyes lit up when he saw it running. On to the next project...I think I've got a mid 60s vintage O&R around here somewhere...

Wallfish got a reaction from factory in Turbair TOT 2s is next up for a refresh
They go quick when there's a nice new engine available for it. Just need to finish the recoil but I'll do 3 or 4 at a time because once you get go'n on them it just seems to go smoother. The chrome on this cleaned up nice.
(probably get cancer from the crap that was inside from the chemicals run through it.)
Here's a close up pic of those carb adapters

Wallfish got a reaction from factory in Tiny Tiger model 400
Just some final pics before it goes back out to the shed.
This one is pretty much all done too except for the little rubber feet. Just need to pick up the hardware and attach them.

Wallfish got a reaction from CNew in Speedy Sprayer
Got it all together with Terry's mount, which will get painted silver hammer tone once it warms up a bit.
The belt on there fits but a shorter wider belt will look better.

Eventually you will run into them. They should have changed the whole carb design but instead they just kept throwing on band aids like that check valve. The carb is the worst thing on these engines but maybe they were ahead of their time. Make stuff so it fails after a while so you need to get it fixed or buy a new one.

Finally, back together. All that’s left now is to gas it up and let it blow!

Almost forgot about this unique and very interesting feature of these things.
Notice where the diaphragm section of the carb is. It's not connected to the carb body and feeds fuel remotely through a fuel line

Trying to keep up with JUST O&R is a real pain! This just so happened to be the closest box on the shelf but have been intending to get to this one. I have the correct recoil cover with the label and the chrome could use some cleaning. I'll dis-assemble the entire engine and unit to clean and freshen everything up.
These are cool little insecticide spraying fans from across the pond.

See if you can grab David. Then sell it to @JUST O&R
(For a big healthy profit of coarse)

Wallfish got a reaction from JUST O&R in Ohlsson & Rice: Cylinder Head Gasket Material
We can always add a shim ring if the compressibility properties are more squishable than anticipated. The next guy who finds 4 rings is gonna have to figure out what's going on. (see what I did there?)
Or do they offer that same material in .035 or .036?

Wallfish reacted to CNew in Ohlsson & Rice: Little Wonder Trimmer Gas Tank Vent
Just had a really nice visit with an engineer buddy of mine from MN and he dropped off the 3D printed vent for the Little Wonder Trimmer. This is awesome!
