Scotty65 0 #1 Posted August 3, 2017 Does anyone have parts for this. And does anyone know the carburetor type with the prime button on the side not in the middle like the others I've seen. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 400 #2 Posted August 3, 2017 May be worth having a word with Hugo at Rowena Motors, he is the carburettor King! The main source for Tanaka stuff in the UK is Farm and Garden Claymore but they hold most of the stock at head office in Dublin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darmic1 447 #3 Posted August 3, 2017 That looks very much like an Ohlsson Rice engine??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #4 Posted August 3, 2017 The TAS Motor (Tanaka) does look to have copied some features of the Ohlsson & Rice Compact engine, I'm not sure if your drill has the P5 or P7 engine, there doesn't seem to be much info on these on the web, even Hitachi Power Tools (they acquired Tanaka in 2007) don't have any manuals going back that far on their website. They do claim they "Introduced the world’s smallest industrial general-purpose two-cycle engine- P7 (22cc)" in 1962, the O&R Compact engine dates back to at least 1961 (1.26 Cubic Inches or approx 20.65cc). http://www.hitachipowertools.com/us/main-navigation/tanaka-history The history mentions that Villiers (misspelt Villers on their website) had a licensing agreement to manufacture the P7 engine. Also your drill isn't exactly the same as the other Tanaka drill on here; David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNew 404 #6 Posted January 4, 2019 I just acquired an ice auger with a TAS P7 Engine. Does anyone know the correct spark plug for these? Thanks, Clint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #7 Posted January 4, 2019 3 hours ago, CNew said: I just acquired an ice auger with a TAS P7 Engine. Does anyone know the correct spark plug for these? Thanks, Clint Is there a model number anywhere for the Auger itself? Does it use a 10mm or 14mm spark-plug and what is currently fitted? I did find some Tanaka manuals on manualslib.com; https://www.manualslib.com/brand/tanaka/ Of which this water-pump looks to have a similar sized but slightly newer looking engine, it uses the 14mm NGK BM6A spark-plug (which is often found as a replacement in the later O&R engines, as an equivalent to the Champion CJ8); https://www.manualslib.com/manual/168073/Tanaka-Qcp-121.html#manual David P.S. Seems like there was a Tas Motor P7 manual (1973) available, just need to find someone that still has one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tas-motor-owners-manual-model/dp/B00X65IBTI/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #8 Posted January 4, 2019 Hello David, I just got your messages. Thank you very much for the links to the manuals, I’m anxious to check these out. The spark plug that is currently in the engine is a 14mm- I tried a standard Champion CJ14 and it fit fine. I’m not familiar with the brand, could be some off name cheapo. clint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #9 Posted January 5, 2019 The E3.10 spark-plug seems to be sold by places like 'Homedepot' & 'CanadianTire', does it say on it where it's made? (I can't read the text on the bottom half of it), also it looks to be longer reach than the CJ8 or CJ14, so check it doesn't hit the piston if you use it. The comparison chart on Amazon suggests this plug is not the correct replacement for a CJ8/BM6A or CJ14/BM4A; https://www.amazon.com/E3-Spark-Plug-E3-10-Garden/dp/B000BPS038 David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #10 Posted January 5, 2019 David, The E3 plug has a US patent number on it but that’s it. It looks to have similar depth but I think I’m going’s to swap it out for the NGK or Champion plug. Thsnks, Clint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #16 Posted March 16, 2020 Nice find Paul. For some reason that spark-plug cap reminds me of those used on old CRT TV's for the high voltage connection. @CNew needs to do some more homework , the letters forming part of the model number on these TAS/Tanaka engines gives the tool they were used on, e.g; *BC= brush cutter *CS= chain saw *ED= engine drill *EG= electric generator *HT= hedge trimmer *OB= outboard The history page at "Hitachi/Metabo" indicates the T-23 engine was produced from 1975. They are also still incorrectly claiming to have introduced the world smallest industrial two-stroke engine (P7) in 1962, how wrong they are. https://www.metabo-hpt.com/us/main-navigation/tanaka-history And they still can't spell Villiers.

factory 487 #25 Posted March 28, 2020 Australian Mobilco chainsaw with the TAS motor, could it be a licensed copy of the Petro Chug-A-Saw? http://chainsawphotos.blogspot.com/2005/09/mobilco-vintage-chain-saw.html Note: there are some differences, such as the chain oiler being part of the handle and the handle also has Mobilco cast into it instead of Petro.
