Pretty in pink

It has a 2 bypass, no boost cylinder. I'm not sure if this series came that way or not. Most Golden's I have seen were single bypass. Mark B. may know and answer if he sees this post.

Hi Joe,
Nice, but you need to get rid of that later cylinder, compare these photos to yours.

Mark I have a couple of these with and without a throttle ring.

no, the stepped cylinder is from the early seventies, you need a early babe bee single port cylinder. Thats pretty neat you have one still in package, nice collectable.

Mark, can you post a picture of the rear of the back plate?
Joe

It should look like one of these, only with no vent tubes.

oh yes, Mark is right! You need to swap that cylinder! Either dig in your parts for a thin #2 (may not have a # on it) single bypass, SPI cylinder or post a wanted ad on here for one or buy a vintage Babe Bee from eBay and jack the cylinder or buy this http://www.ebay.com/itm/COX-049-WEN-MAC-OK-CUB-AIRPLANE-ENGINE-HUGE-PARTS-LOT-PROPS-TANKS-PUMP-TOOLS-/190628118782 and just take the thin cylinder off that crankcase in the back and sell off all the parts. There's a seat for you dune buggy! You'll probably make money, glow head clips sell for $5+, thin neck crankcase assemblies sell for $5+ ea. and so on.

Mark, is this any better?

That looks much better!

It has the same back plate as the one Mark has. So ths is now correct?

.

Would this be the correct glow head?

I can't see through that pack very clearly Joe but on mine which I think is the same as we are talking about
the first two fins on the glow are the same diameter the third is slightly smaller and the top is as
usual ie smallest.

PS if you look closely at Marks first shot you can see that.

I think Mark B's side by side photo up above shows the correct head fin style.

I copied the following from Warrens Wkipedia Cox page
1.#302 Pre 1955 Standard Head - Hemispherical shape - Low Compression - Smaller dia. threads - used on Space Bug, Thermal Hopper, Space Bug Jnr and Strato Bug Only.[21]
2.#302-1 Post 1955 Standard Head - Hemispherical shape - Low Compression - Larger dia. threads - used on all engines produced post 1955 until the #325 head was produced in 1979.[22]
3.#325 Standard Head - Hemispherical shape - Low Compression - Larger dia. threads - used on all post 1956 engines except Tee Dees, QZ, Killer Bees, Venom and Texaco. Replaced 302-1 head in 1979.
I was hoping Mark, Matt or Bernie would be able to clarify.

How about the spinner. I thought the "pink" Golden Bees had the earlier spinner that does not have the flange type base. The engine looks really clean. Very nice regardless of what you do with it.

Thanks. I found the proper spinner in my parts bin and will add it latter today. I'm almost there with the restoration.

Yep, mine has one! You can get a reproduction one here> http://www.ebay.com/itm/COX-ENGINE-049-SPACE-HOPPER-O-R-049-SPINNER-/280811852071

That is a nice one you got there! Looks better than mine, prob more collectable too! Oh well I only paid 8 bucks for mine

Just kidding, seriously that is a nice engine. Have you run it yet?

I have to wait for better weather to run it. I think I have a line on a period glowhead.

I believe it's correct now.
