Re: SPACE BUG Jr. (gosh) TEST RUN
Thanks Jose , I really enjoy running the Space Bug Jr. so easy to start and that one does scream a nice tune , Bob no , I have 5-6 white ones , I guess prices are winding down ,, for me anyway my TD .020 just pulled 35- 16 bids /??? I have that last one in vinegar /water now for 3 day got to do some more scrubbing then maybe the bleach or a baking soda mix . its cleaner but not where I want it , getback

Check out the pictures on the original ad Eric. It looks like the SBJ took a header into concrete and cracked the housing almost in half. I was looking at it for parts only.
Vinegar is a great cleaner.

This Rod appears to have been cobbled together out of parts, the cylinder is not right for engine. Prop seems to be backwards.

crankbndr: seriously did you purchase this off ebay? wow and at such a low price? or are you just showing some of the pictures from the ebay sale? tboygee was usually pretty good about fixing incorrect things with Cox engines.
I've got a nice Red Cox Shrike I am cleaning up ...

Re: SPACE BUG Jr. (gosh) TEST RUN
I just relooked the ad Bob and it did take a whack into something , ill bet the crank is bent or fractured , glad you said something about the vinegar, man I forgot and left this in the Clorox mix too lond look better but now I will have to pull the reed retainer off and I was trying to avoid that before after some cleaning Think I'll just stick with denatured alcohol heck I still scrubbed most of the dirt /stain off getback
