Do you mean the side cover bolts? there is a gasket between that and the block... If the bolts holding the side cover on are too loose it will leak from that gasket

Man I love turf tires on bikes like that. I'd put em on my Bird Duck but the scrub brake wears them away.

I agree I think building 212 type engines is real fun and the parts availability is incredible... But the flatheads are something else. I love modding them out.

Hah! called it! It's clogged now and I need to rebuild it... If it's any more worn than the 5hp carb I'm switching to the 5hp one. Looks like it's time to take a gander at the 5hp tank! Wish me luck!

Nice find! Scrub brake and everything! Gotta love seeing other people with ducks, drovers, or larks like mine! Seeing you guys mention that seat post makes me curious about mine... I haven't actually seen it on other ducks (or likewise) before. May have to make a thread!

Yeah, I figured there would be issues modifying the compression release, so that's a no-go... But i'm still curious, does it affect power? What kind of timing adjustability would I be looking at with the drop bracket? I assume you're talking about the ARC drop bracket. Also, do you think it'd...

Well, it's vintage, and to that, I say YES!

^I was thinking the same thing! Except the other way around

Interesting that much of the parts in the ohh lineup work in flatheads... I wonder if the cams do???

That's a big help. The manuals I've found all are only including info for how to use the engine, nothing like individual parts and compatibility and all that. Edit: I wish there was a way that it would tell me what technically "fits" instead of just what the part came in... like related parts...

Where can I find info on the Tecumseh OHH55? looking for stuff like parts compatibility across different models (e.g. cams, valve spring diameter, flywheel, crank and piston assembly, etc.), general specifications, and any kind of upgrades I have the possibility to be able to do. Thanks!

So... I may or may not have just the two bolts mounting the carb and tank on... but it is supposed to be temporary! My 5HP tank is full of sediment and needs a clean... been meaning to do that. Means I'd switch back to the 5HP carb too, after a rebuild of it of course. Actually, I never cleaned...

They seem identical other than the tank (of course) and the throttle actuator shaft (Not sure what it's called...) being slightly different to work with the 3hp air vane governor... I had to drill a hole in it for it to work, which is how I figured that out.

Thanks, spark! Looks like I should do some research on different oil types... I have a 3HP carburetor and tank on my 5HP engine... Are there any differences between the 3HP carbs and 5HP carbs? Aside from the linkage stuffs. What kind of modification can be done to them? I left mine stock at...

I think I'll buy an I/C bottom end (At least the crank, piston, rod, and cam.) and swap everything modified over... Then that opens up the possibility to mod a cam since I'll have 2! Although I may want to look into a billet rod at this point... Not trying to severely blow it up... Is it worth...

I have a model 130202 Briggs that I have on my Sears Drover that burns oil and has a fair bit of scoring... It's nothing super severe, but it burns oil nonetheless, so I know it will eventually bite the dust, and there isn't all that much I can do about it... I am curious about whether I should...

I'd likely not buy them, but if you don't mind me asking, how much would you sell them for?

I love those bars

The forks look very MTD but that frame does not.
