The latest copy of Stationary Engine magazine arrived today, complete with a small article on some of our Ohlsson Rice machines...
 
 

Post some pics of the tank
Carb cleaner,  Brake clean Lacquer thinner etc soaking in the bottom of the tank as it could just be the screen filter is clogged from the old gas gum. Swish around every once it a while.
Small wire into the tube if that's clogged too but don't bury it as there is a very delicate screen filter on the end. If you can get any flow then I use a bulb type thingy to force wash the cleaner back and forth through it until it clears out.

I can supply you with a new diaphragm. $10 each
you can email me at
uremailing@yahoo.com
That's the reason it will only run briefly. Plus you should clean that carb thoroughly.
I can probably throw in a pc of fuel line tooo
 
The original fuel caps were a bottle type but have the little flip up spout. I'll try and get a pic.
 

I charge $10 each for diaphragms
 

Check ebay completed listings and that might give you some idea of what people are paying.

Didn't have time to really set up the display so they ended up scattered on the trailer. There was still a couple left in the van.
 

Next Saturday is a smaller get together up in Maine so figured I'd bring up some of the stuff that doesn't go to the big shows. They haven't seen the light of day in a LONG time so it'll be nice for people to see them. They're too small and expensive to leave unattended at the big shows although I have never heard of any stealing of anything at any of them.
Just a small sample and will probably bring about 20-25 tools or so depending on available time to get them out. Pictures of the entire display all together next week

Parchment paper is used for cooking/baking
Jungle site is Amazon.com

Make your own
A circle paper cutter-- search on the jungle site for one
Parchment paper is thin like those gaskets

What are you powering with it?  Sensitive computer equipment? Typical lights and motors ain't gonna care.
The governor should limit the rpms so make sure it's not hanging up or something. You can probably add a screw where the cable would go for things like a drill or mini bike engine that uses a throttle cable if you need to limit the butterfly from opening.

I just pinched them with my fingers and kinda twisted.
I guess you could make a ring compressor from some thin sheet metal and a hose clamp to tap them in sorta like big engines.

Feels good to finally have this Chug-a-drill project finished.
 
Here’s the final product…. It took a bit of tinkering to get the finish aged and worn-in like I wanted it so that it would look more original to the drill.

For your amusement is the rare 6 port O&R engine!  This engine was put away "running", as I am sure most are! This little O&R must have been dug out of a lake bed. The muffler was completely packed full of mud. I bead blasted the engine and submerged it in my heated ultrasonic cleaner for three days. I gave the cylinder a wiggle with my O&R cylinder removal tool, and snap, the connecting rod blew in half. With the cylinder separated from the crankcase I re-blasted the engine this time getting under the piston, and into the crankcase. The crankcase free'd up within an hours time in the ultrasonic. The piston was a job the grease gun fought with. I am surprised to say that this little casting can actually take 5,000psi of force, as the bypass on the pump hit a few times as heat was applied. The little piston finally came out, and it was rusted and corroded all over. It turns out that the mud in the muffler eat through the cast iron liner into the cylinder. So much for trying to save the cylinder!  This one is a goner. I will have to put a donor piston/cylinder/rod in this one when I go about replacing all of the needle bearings. I thought you guys would like to see the pictures even though the situation isnt the greatest. The pump has been loosely reassembled and now has spark, so that is a good thing!

The AEP chicken power used a different gas tank that mounted above the engine on the handle bars so the carbs did not have or need a primer button

I sent a message to the seller on eBay with the complete head, piston & crank. Said it doesn’t have any scoring - might be worth the gamble, especially at that price which is really reasonable. 

Thanks. Years of hunting them down
The lapidary saw is for cutting rock, stone. Thin diamond blade with a water reservoir below for cooling
There never was a count on the different tools. Although I've seen and heard of most, new stuff still pops up every once in a while

Add some oil to get about 32:1 but don't use outboard oil. It's different than air cooled oil. Something with the ash and ashless and etc. Always best to run heavier on oil than lean. Haven't fouled a plug yet at 32:1 so...
Even at 32:1 you have 1/2 the amount of oil. 50:1 is way to lean on oil for these IMO. It might work but you should know if it doesn't by the bottom of the first tank full.
Best to give it a rip and get it all running BEFORE paint. You may need to remove the cover a couple times and noth'n suck worse than scratching up new paint. $0.02

You can fold and crimp the edges closed too in order to bend it but still need the plate welded on.
Circumference of a 10" circle is about 31 1/2 inches and most places sell tube at 36 inches. Good tight crimps on the ends and you can fill it with water which is much easier to empty out.
And just another little tid bit. Connecting car batteries in series does work for arc/stick welding. I have a real welder but curiosity got the best of me so had to try it. Not the most safe thing I guess but danger is my middle name! LoL
I used 3 batteries but thinking 2 would work with a small thin rod

All of those metal rings go on after the gaskets.
The last thing to go on is the O ring which seals the connection of the case and the head. The rest seals the manifold and the head
Yup, that check valve bearing should stop gas flow. Something is wrong

Found a cool little TAS water pump. Needs a little TLC but it all looks to be there.
