JUST O&R 237 #2 Posted March 5, 2020 The last one was not in great shape but a recoil and a coil and a little cleaning ? It Evan had a base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 403 #3 Posted March 5, 2020 Ha, I saw that as well and was baffled. There have been quite a few Tiny Tigers on eBay lately I’m varying condition but they still seem to hover around $125-175. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #4 Posted March 5, 2020 Someone must know something we don't John or Joe may know something. Its no wonder john trying to buy Joe's collection so cheep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 687 #5 Posted March 5, 2020 I know something! It's one of two things, the seller won't actually get paid because it turned into just making a point of the other person not winning or the winning bidder is a clueless idiot. You guys seem to be doing well so far for catching good prices. I've paid $125 just for an engine in the past. Prices do trend up and down and just a few years ago competition for them was up there.

JUST O&R 237 #6 Posted March 5, 2020 Now just hold on are you calling me an idiot. 1 Wallfish reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 403 #7 Posted March 5, 2020 Seems I generally have to pay $125 or more for just engines as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 483 #8 Posted March 8, 2020 That's utterly stupid, I count at least four commonly missing parts too. If they are making $600+ for a rough one, then I need to get my nice complete spare one sold. On 3/5/2020 at 10:18 PM, Wallfish said: I know something!

CNew 403 #9 Posted March 8, 2020 I’ve even really nice ones sit on eBay for months listed at Buy-It-Now for $350 or $450, sometimes with the case.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 483 #10 Posted March 8, 2020 Here is what I said less than 12 months ago (post #2) when someone asked about the value of a Tiny Tiger, along with certain chainsaws they are very common, remember to check recent sold prices/completed listings, but be very careful with "buy-it-now" items as ePay hide the actual lower sold price if "best offer" was used.

francisco 4 #13 Posted March 9, 2020 Hey im new to the forum i just picked up a tiny tiger 1hp from a buddy for 10$ its in mint condition its from the 60s i think the only problem is carb not working its was clogged and he opened it up and lost some parts from inside so i've been looking for a complete working carb if any knows of any please contack me thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 403 #14 Posted March 9, 2020 First, Welcome to the forum! Second- $10 that’s an amazing deal on a Tiny Tiger, you’re very fortunate! Third-can you add some photos of your carburetor? We can probably figure out which parts are missing. You’ll probably need a new diaphragm and gasket anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 483 #15 Posted March 9, 2020 Please post some pictures of the carb so we can identify the type & advise what parts are missing. Also don't forget the clean out any old crumbly foam from the air cleaner/filter and check out the carb rebuild thread if you haven't already seen it.

francisco 4 #16 Posted March 9, 2020 thanks for the welcome to the forum yea got it with a old double camp stove and a catalytic 3500btu camp heater great deal i just seen someone else post it looks exactly like the one i need. i took out old stuff from air filter before anythig it was disintegrating lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francisco 4 #17 Posted March 9, 2020 i just took these pics that last pic was from one i found on google just checked out the member factory tutorial on that carb and it looks the same as mine only difference is the gas line port position and i noticed its only missing the little lever/arm inside has the rest it runs i just blew thru the top of gas tank to get gas to carb and starts right up 1 factory reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 403 #18 Posted March 9, 2020 Glad to hear you got it to fire so easily, that’s not always the case... Was the diaphragm still fairly soft and pliable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francisco 4 #19 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) yes everything in perfect condition overall the whole thing is in excellent condition it was only used on one vacation for 3 days back when it came out and stored away Edited March 9, 2020 by francisco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francisco 4 #20 Posted March 10, 2020 its still needs the arm and probably a new spring too been looking all over for anyone selling the parts or a complete carb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 687 #21 Posted March 10, 2020 Glad to have you aboard francisco! I might have an arm for ya but not the spring. If you have a spring it's good even though those things seem a little flimsie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francisco 4 #22 Posted March 10, 2020 thanks wallfish i still have spring just thought i would just replace it just because i wasn't sure so how do we go about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 687 #23 Posted March 10, 2020 post some close up pics of all the carb parts you have. They made a couple different arms over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
