I had a few Tanaka P7 Air Cleaner Covers made. I have listed them in eBay. They came out very good. They can be gentle sanded if you want to make them show quality.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/164645598092?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

HELP ! I need a FLOAT for my TAS P-7 Carburetor. We took apart the float bowl and look what we saw inside. I need help - Anybody?  you can also contact at hkillackey@aol.com

Just a thought. The carburetors look similar to those used on some of the old Tanaka, Echo/Kioritz, and Shindaiwa engines. Maybe there is a float that is similar in size.  For example, check out e-replacement parts or parts tree online and look up Echo PB-202. It has a similar float design and float bowl, maybe you’ll get lucky...

Here’s a vintage Kioritz float - are the measurements close? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NOS-Genuine-Echo-Kioritz-Float-P-120-133-0111-0/292981446733?hash=item44370e184d:g:Z-oAAOSwYyVcdEeD

Do you still have any of these?

THANKS for your help/Idea. I have ordered a Float from the link you suggested. I will let you know what happens.

Hi I am in Australia, I have recently purchased some Tas P-7 engines, I am in need of a gearbox to build a mini bike, I would be interested to trade a good engine for a complete gearbox with clutch, please get in touch thanks regards Tom

Nice find, they look a bit earlier than the P7 engine on the drill I have, unfortunately finding parts for these seems to be very difficult.

Also nice to see some original literature with it too, I don't suppose it has any parts info or exploded diagrams in it that could help others?

There is a badly advertised & overpriced TAS pump on ePay in Canada, seller thinks it's an O&R, I did send them a message but they haven't replied or corrected it .   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114666852338

 

Here are some pictures I have saved from the listing.

I’ve been watching that one as well and almost sent a message about the TAS motor but it’s priced so high I decided not to.  It’s a cool pump but not at that price.

[factory 487]

I only sent a message to advise them it was not as described, they wouldn't want someone to claim for this when it arrives and is found not to be an O&R or Orline.  No interest in buying at that price even if it had international shipping, same goes for the actual O&R powered tools he has.

HELP PLEASE - I need a Little Petro P-7 KEIHIN carburetor - OR a carburetor float. I have tried many other floats that do not fit in the KEIHIN float bowl. I have been looking for over 1 year now and I really need some help with this --- Help. I can also be reached at hkillackey@aol.com

Can you add a photo of the float bowl? Would something like this maybe fit?

My damaged float and the carburetor pics are about 5 posts above. Thanks for the eBay link for a float. I purchased it but the seller couldn't give me accurate dimensions. Maybe I will get lucky --

this looks like a possibility too…

 

try also searching parts for an Echo PB-202. It used a carb that looks very similar and the float is still available from PartsTree and eReplacement parts. Might be worth a try…

I posted a while back that I had bought a job lot of Tas P7 engines, I have found some things different between the early type and the later type.

Early type : O.R type pull handle, roller guide for pull cord, starter cover screwed from the back, short intake manifold, serial numbers P7- 2xxxx

Later type : Tas T pull handle, T Through pull cord guide, starter cover screwed from front, long intake manifold better balance factor crank, 

serial numbers I have P7- 4xxxx.

Some engine parts from the Tas P7 owners handbook

Here is a Tas P7 sheering machine. It’s missing the sheers and flexable cable, I believe they were standard to most machines.

[Tom C 7]

I am still looking for a gearbox for a P7, and am happy to trade a good engine for one. Either a single reduction type P73 or a double reduction P74 is good thanks regards Tom

[CNew 404]

That Crutching unit is a nice find! I’ve never heard of such a thing. Thank you for posting all the manuals and parts info as well, this early TAS stuff is hard to find!

I came across this and see that others collect…. Have extra parts also

[CNew 404]

Very nice, looks in great condition!  What extra parts were you able to score?

[H Killackey 6]

Brandan It appears that your engine is a general purpose TAS motor with no gear reduction/transmission.. I see that on of the stickers on the cover says P-7 and the other says P-72. It also looks as if this engine rotates in the opposite direction of (2) TAS P-7's I have. I do not know if this motor could be used for a minibike. I state that because I use TAS P-7's for minibikes. Maybe you have seen pictures of my P-7 up in this string of posts. Are you interested in selling this motor and parts ?

[Brandan Mayerhofer 1]

Not sure what it was used for but it’s got a Throttle

Yeah I don’t need it for anything 

That’s everything that was in the box with the motor…. Shoot me an offer 

[CNew 404]

Cool- do you have plans for it or just a display engine?

[Brandan Mayerhofer 1]

No plans figured one of you guys might want it

[Tom C 7]

Brandon, the Tas P72 engine can be operated in different orientations, it is different to the other P7 engines in as far as it uses a diaphragm  carb, some contraptions like the P7 generator also have engine speed governing with that carb too.

from my owners handbook there appears to be 4 main versions of those engines that were sold.

P7 = utility engine with regular carby.

P72= utility engine with all position carby. Can also be fitted with a governor.

P73=Utility engine with regular carby and single reduction gearbox.

P74= utility engine with regular carby and double reduction gearbox. Like used on the little Petro.

It looks a nice clean engine you have there, nice pickup.
