Re: antique motors

I think you mean "Ohlsson and Rice"

As far as I am aware, no one has ever reproduced any O&R engines. The die drawn piston, spot welded cylinder make it a bit of a tough one to repro as the originals were done on specialized equipment. And, they were made in plentiful numbers, and are easily bought in running shape on the used market. An O&R 60 special is probably one of the easiest spark ignition engines to get running. Not the most powerful, but run steady and easy to set the timing and NV.

Another great engine that wont break the bank is an Attwood Super Champ. Much more power than an O&R but almost as easy to set up.
