early and late Tee Dee
Hello everyone,
how can one decide it's an early (~1961) or a later (~1980) Tee Dee .051 or .049 ? As far as I know the cylinder is different. There is a thin walled cylinder and a thicker, more rugged one, both .049 and .051. While .049s have a #4 cylinder and .051s have a #5 cylinder. Moreover, the venturi mesh screen was added in around 1973.
That' s outside. Any clue?
Inside issues: when tinkering with .051 spare parts I found out there is certain parts that fit together and some don't. E.g. I have cranks that won't fit into cases and vice versa (cranks were a bit too short), some cranks have plastic washers, some have metal ones. Is there any indication which parts belong to earlier or later .051s ?
I searched the site (and the web) for these issues, but no answers so far.
Thanks
Roland

Re: early and late Tee Dee

Re: early and late Tee Dee
My oldest TD 049 has an oil hole on the crank end of its rod, which is also a different material than COX conrods are today. The piston is made of 3 parts (the top is not smooth as in the latest COX engines but the cup of the balljoint is swaged into the piston.)
The piston/cylinder combo has tapered bore, and the venturi does not have the screen on it.
