OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Edgers Two Stroke Edgers id on a tiltacut

hi again , been so long since i posted a new one , i forgot how !! so i hope its in the correct place . went and picked up a few goodies today form a guy i sold a mower too , told me a few things from his dads place might be of interest , a tiltacut in the pile too , but not sure which engine type it should have , 80series sidepull or a good old one , not too much left of it though as it had been pulled down for reasons unknown . no wheels or anything ! just black handles and a small mounting base . any idea how to id' which engine it should have ? markings/numbers , you guys got lucky almost nothing left of this one . but all in all a good price i think




with a few other bits n pieces and a good silverstreak with almost a mint catcher .. havro get it sorted tomorrow and anyone see anything they like ? pm me

Hi vccomm, at first glance i was pretty sure that base was meant to have a cup starter full crank but i needed to be sure so out in the shed i went at 1:00am and took some photos. The highlighted bits speak for themselves but the other give away was the orange colored belt and blade cover, the side crank ones were black.

It's late and i cant get the images to upload properly. Maybe a moderator can help out here.

bigted, you need to set the pull-down box at the top of the reply window to show UBBCode rather than HTML. Normally UBBCode is set automatically as the default, but that doesn't seem to be happening for you or for Dave, I don't know why.

i did notice that yes , thanks grumpy . dont know what happened there it normally does it ok for me but been having problems with my poor old pc too , thanks big ted for that , it was iehter or here , both engines avialable i just need a flywheel for the one i choose , but now seems the older 70 series , anyone have a t.a.c flywheel they dont want ? i looked in the parts box's and cant find one :)

Interesting read guys, looks like this one I have here has had an engine swap at some stage

now your confusing me :grin: hahaa , but i think the silver streak will turn into a donor its base isnt that great , the flywheels i read somewhere are a heavier item ?

Hi Dave, I have a Series 80 T-A-Cut with the full crank 160cc engine the same as Bigteds, but mine has white handles originally, not black, like Michael's ....perhaps his machine is original early machine with the gear start engine.

maybe yes , cheer's deejay but i think it might end up with the early type though . had a bit of bother with side starters before so its going to be an easy choice , and still cant find a flywheel , just back from the place i get older parts from and none there too , no hurry one will turn up i hope any one kn ow what they do look like ?

Thanks Grumpy,the HTML box was preset, i tried to change it to UBB but the option did not come up in the drop down. HTML was the only option available at the time. It still does not give me this option, even as i try now with this reply. I also tried yesterday using Google Chrome instead of internet explorer and still the same result.

Hi bigted, here is a couple of things you can try:
Try downloading Mozilla Firefox....this is the browser best suited to our forum.
Go to "My Stuff" in the toolbar above open and slide down the drop-down list; Click on "Cookies" and when open select "Expire Cookies" this will log you out though, so you will have to log in again.
Then try the "Markup panel again and set "Using UBB Code"

Thanks Darryl, cleared the cookies and still the same. Downloaded firefox and posting this comment through firefox, but still the same, there is no option to change the drop down to UBB, it still only gives me the HTML option. At this stage i guess i'll have to post my pics and let a moderator change the Markup code from their end.

Either motor would work, I think I would prefer the older series 70 motor with the pull rope facing the back as the series 80 gear start motors pull from the side, I could just see myself or somone slipping and pulling the machine over onto themselves...

good suggestion , thanks joe that comfirms it for me :) and always seem to have trouble with side pulls anyway , all the ones i get have been played with and missing the plate behind or other bits n pieces , seems it doesnt realy matter as bigteds has one type a rolla's ? has another so its allgood , thanks guys :cheers:
