Nice Cox Babe Bee with working W glow head. #2 stepped cylinder. New mylar reed, pickup tube, tube spring, gasket, and yellow prop. Has good compression. I also took the time to polish the engine.
I know everybody has a Babe Bee here but I wanted to offer it up here due to the W head.

Sanded the tank on the lathe with 1000 and then 2000 grit and then used Mother mag wheel polish. Sanded the crankcase by hand to remove the extrusion marks then took mothers to is also. Took about an hour of work to get it in that condition.

An hours work that certainly wasn't lost on me.Jason_WI wrote:Sanded the tank on the lathe with 1000 and then 2000 grit and then used Mother mag wheel polish.

Also, I have a few "W" element heads, but that one is the bee's knees.
Beautiful work Jason.

Re: SOLD! Cox Babe Bee with W head
You can also chuck up the tank on a drill and sand with 320 B Waterproof sandpaper wet or dry. Glow heads can be chucked in a Dremel to do the same but use regular 120 to 180 sandpaper then the wet dry. Follww up both with Mothers.
