We recently received a few new drive-plates that have a bigger hole. We know they are for some older engines but did not want to take our collector engines apart to check. Does anyone have a list of engines they were for?

Thermal Hopper?
Space Bug?
Space Bug Jr?

While we are at the subject, are these described correctly?

Lastly, what does one call the part on the Space Hopper that screws into the back and carries the needle valve assembly? Carb body? We ended up with one of those as well.

Meant to say that they have a SMALLER hole.

I have the part 1525 and the text on the envelope says "Space Hopper, carburetor complete". So I would think that the correct name for the part you described would be "carburetor body".

Not sure if I would call the part on the page you linked a venturi, as in this case the majority of the venturi is in the carburetor body. But it is difficult to come up with anything better for a description either.

The drive plate on my (ahem!) Space Bug seems to have a rather small hole, I am not going to take it apart either so this may not be so helpful. In any case the hole is about the size of the prop stud.

Carburetor body is what I though as well, thanks.

Yes, all the early (cast) cases used the smaller diameter crank, that was one of the big improvements of the Babe Bee.

If you are asking if that venturi nut fits the three engines you list then the answer is yes.
