THANKS KEV

Sorry can't help Kev but it doesn't sound an old engine having a pull start and plastic fan. We'd like to see some pics of the engine and flywheel see is it looks similar design to any other engines. and then maybe give you some ideas.

Stu.

If its a JLO Rockwell its a fairly late one, JLO was a Gernman company that was bought out by the Americal company North American Rockwell

Cheers Steve

3hp at 5000 RPM

They were used in the outboards and lawnmowers, from google translate ect there were produced about 1965ish.
SeaBee outboards used a JLO engine but not sure which model

so removed blind head and cheeked for wear and deglazed freed of piston rings
removed grimme and carbon and stuck it back together witht old gaskets as they came appart like new ones.
so ive cleaned all the electrics and rust from stators and polls ect replaced some wiiring as corroded away
and have a good spark at plug
strippedcarb down for a good clean out as i aways do ,not mjch crap had got in for once
fuel tap,banjo and pipe blocked solid and splits everwere
banjo i had on my shelf new lengh of pipe and an hour to unblock the tap
panel beat tinwork back into a shape that looks write and the pullstart working again rusted up solid like most things ive got from this place

turns out its ILO, Rockwell bought out the company in 1959 and ILO name was stopped in 1969, so could well be 1963.

I think the engines would be the same HP as 2.5hp at 4000rpm and 3hp at 5000rpm, yours is rated at the lower rpm.

The ILO was used on the Seabee outboards and are to be honnest pretty pants, most people prefuring the JAP engined versions.

Why would the fairbanks pull start make you think its older, fairbanks still trades today

16-18:1 is a good place to start in these small 2 strokes, I have seen 20:1 quoted for the JAP powered Seabee outboard but nothing for a ILO engine.

Cheers Steve

I'm not to up on two stroke mix but I recon you can't go far wrong at 25:1 mix a see how it runs for smoke or the plug oiling up. A lot of new stuff is run 50:1 I've bought a petrol strimmer and that's what it's mix is but a bit to smokey for my liking.

Stu.

Good luck for Friday and it's start up I'm sure we'll get a video of it..

Older stuff like the Villiers Marvil and Midget are 16:1 normaly run at 20:1 thought to save smoke. wx11's ar 63:1 but still smoke!
Better to have to much oil then not enough!

Cheers Steve

thanks for that info steve
have tryed to start it today fired for 10 secs and stopped
have had to remove carb again as a rubbery gue from a seal in the tap has sucked up and stuck in every orquard corner of the gallorys and jets possable
so that seal has had its day and going to give me a few more hours getting it from the carb parts
so tomorrow should be the fire and running for video day
FINGERS CROSSED
KEV

Runs well Kev and sure has a great 2 stroke sound, great bit of work to get her going again.

Stu.

thanks stu
its a weired carb it goes from tickover about 750 rpm to 2-3000 rpm and then the other throttle to air vaine govenor takes it up to 4500-5000rpm
