Unlock the secrets to maintaining and repairing your vintage West Bend Power Bee engine with this authentic "Operating Instructions and Parts List" for models 70012 and 70013 (7.00 cu. in. displacement, 7.5 H.P.). Published in May 1961 by The West Bend Company, Engine Division in Hartford, Wisconsin, this essential guide is a treasure for collectors, restorers, and mechanics working on classic two-cycle engines from the golden age of karting and small machinery.

Featuring exploded-view diagrams and comprehensive parts tables for key components—including Starter (with recoil and friction shoe assemblies), Magneto (Wico system with coils, condensers, and breaker points), Carburetor (diaphragm type with fuel pump, air cleaner options, and adjustment details), and Power Head (covering pistons, cylinders, crankshafts, reeds, and bearings)—this manual provides part numbers, quantities, descriptions, and model-specific variations for both left-hand and right-hand configurations.

Beyond parts, it includes practical operating instructions on fuel mixtures (1/2 pint SAE 30/40 oil per gallon of regular gasoline), starting procedures, carburetor and magneto adjustments, maintenance for air cleaners and spark plugs (gap at .030"), troubleshooting checklists for common issues like hard starting or overheating, and storage tips to prevent rust and deposits. A 90-day warranty statement from the era adds historical context.

Ideal for vintage go-kart builders, antique engine enthusiasts, or anyone restoring West Bend-powered equipment.
