I think I need a new engine for my Little Petro. The engine that came with it is seized up and missing some parts. I think it's a 1 hp Tanaka. Little Petro 021.JPG

That motor is an oddball and will be tough to find I think.

I've seen those bikes run Ohlsson & Rice engines which are fairly common and would probably be a lot easier(and cheaper) to come by and source parts for.

Thanks KKK I figured I could do that but I really like the looks of the Tanaka with the cool looking exhaust. This engine from what I can tell is missing the gas tank mount and the plug wire. I think my brother can make the tank mount. Not sure about the plug wire. Plus I can't spin the flywheel. The engine may be toast!??

I built a tomthumb powel a few years back and used a tanaka engine on it
It was from a sears game fisher 1.2 hp outboard , might have similar parts
