Cool Flea Market Finds

[jeep4me]

Went to the local BIG flea market today and found these two beauties:

An old Lawnboy Hobby Gardner - It's a tiller and an edger. Took me a little bit to get it running but it runs good now.

And a Ohlsson & Rice Tiny Tiger 3/4hp generator, it is missing the air filter assembly, but other wise it's in really nice condition. I haven't been able to get this one running yet. I don't know anything about these little engines and I'm not even sure if I have the kill switch working right. I may just leave it for someone else to mess with.

Maybe you're pulling the sarter too "viciously" :laugh:

The diaphragm in the carb goes bad. I can almost 100% guarantee that's the issue with the O&R. Do NOT get any carb cleaner spray inside the engine!

Be careful with that little O&R generator, it may be small but it will knock you on your butt! It will output enough 110v juice to make a believer out of you, believe me I've tested this one out! I was goose steppin' around the backyard like one of Hitler's SS. (much to the delight of my sadistic wife!) :freakout:
