Hello and welcome to the forum

 

Sorry I can't help as regards a spare recoil as I have no spares, but hopefully one of the usual visitors on here may be able to help you

@viault Would it be possible to service the starter from your O&R, or is it completely missing?

If it is missing please post some more info & some pictures of the engine so we can identify the correct one needed.

That can definitely be restored. Looks like a new spring and pull know would do it plus some major TLC. I’m also very curious what this engine is attached to!  More photos?

thank you for your message. This engine is on a kid car from 1966. The  french brand DEVILLAINE produced this model named OURAGAN ( hurican...).

That does look in poor condition, the alloy housing is intact but all the steel parts have suffered badly, springs can be found but the bearing for the starter reel are not seen very often and that one has rusted through. If you had access to a lathe I'm sure those could be made along with new rollers for the rope to pass through.

I do have a spare starter that I had wrapped & boxed up for another guy on here, but they never came back to me, would need to check if it's correct for your engine.

Are the starter dogs also missing, as I can't see them in the pictures?

Unlike the other tools, this would be an investment. Something as cool as that will always be in demand.

True, along with some of the mini-bikes there will always be lots of interest in them, unfortunately I need to invest in property as I desperately need a bigger workshop space and more space for my collection (instead of renting storage).

The date seems correct if it's the original engine (sn 100701) , the engine dates from very late 1965 and by the time it wound have taken to ship a batch of them over from the US to France, it would have been built into the car in 1966.

Those are gorgeous, what a cool car!  I even like the older one in sweaty condition. You’ve got quite the pair of collectible cars!

Thank you dear for your answer. If it's possible to find one complete working, it would be fine. How much could it costs? (more shipping to France?) I will take pictures asap. Regards

I will go to the warehouse on Wednesday to see what I can find . This will be a pleasure to help get this going. I will grab a set of flywheel dog as David suggested and a

new carburetor diaphragm too I,m sure you will need one.  I hope this will get you what you need.  ( p.s. would like all of them in working order)

Take a good look and see if there is any thing else you may need.

Wow, amazing website! You truly have an incredible pedal and gas powered car collection.  That has to be one of the coolest uses of the O&R engine.  I’m glad you found this forum and I hope we can help get you the missing parts.

 

JustO&R- let me know what you find. I’ll try to take a look as well, not sure I have any extra/complete recoils.

This is the one I have, just unpacked it to find out which parts were with it, the paint looks more faded than the pictures show (really needs a repaint).

It should fit your engine, there are another two different styles of starter for earlier & later engines, which is why I asked for the pictures. Later ones with the square spring housing will not fit, nor will early ones due to differences in the magneto coil.

 

Please let us know if you need the starter dogs as there is only one in the bag, a pair is used. Also do need the screws?The ones in the bag maybe longer and need cutting to match the original ones.

VERY nice collection!

I like that Euréka Coarse Grand Prix

That’s got you written all over it John!  You’ve probably got the stuff in your collection to pull together a replica:D

Dear David, thank you again. I will check the mesures as soon as possible ( not at home now...) and send you to check also on your side. I need all the parts to be sure (one starter bag is ok) I need the screws. Do not worry if I write to you next week....I am very busy and not at home. We keep in touch.    you can also contact me at md.arbonne@yahoo.fr      or voitureapedales.fr@gmail.com
