Old post. seems he is a GHOST.

I've seen Racoons on Game camera that will not go into a baited live trap. I started putting brush over the live trap so as it would look like a brush pile to get the smart ones. A big racoon can do damage to a live trap also. I've noticed: A trapper has to get smarter and more cunning than...

Good idea about wiring the floor. When I see a animal tunneling under a barn or similar I take a piece of sheet iron or even fencing type chicken wire and bury it just under the ground at the tunnel and along the edge. When they try to tunnel again they hit the steel or wire and move on. Works...

Mice and Rats can be tough on eq. They sometimes get by my Kitty cats for awhile. Inside my shops I built some live traps using 5 gallon buckets. Mice are usually still alive when I check the traps unless in cold winter they are frozen stiff. Live traps help with reducing the stink of dead rodents.

Phil Swift has several products that might be useable by you on that poor old Tecumseh. Check out the race car he put back together at about 3:32 of this video at this link.

I use 8ten spindles. But very little grease is inside the bearings. I re-pack them if it's my own eq. 8ten has deck rebuild kits that can be bought for just few dollar more than just their spindles. You get all spindles with pulleys, idler pulleys, deck belt,

Good luck to you with using bloating mixture.

I agree with you. Let the customer have it back. Time to throw In the towel, due to time and parts wise. Since I have good donor heads I would probably replace the head before I went inside inspecting the cam as the last thing to check.. It seems to be indicating the Intake valve is not...

Old thread?

AND take pics when taking the carb off. Some of them pressure washer engines have a sandwiched type of area when bolting them to the manifold, easy to take off but not user friendly re-installing and trying to keep everything sandwich aligned. The use of headless studs is a big help keeping...

Most likely not worth the effort. I've seen quite a few Tecumseh's with broken rods, usually due to being operated with the timing too fast. Parts and pieces from some models sell good on Flea bay. Tecumseh's and doing repairs of this nature is in the category of dinosaur's, dinosaurs eggs and...

Agree: That is why I suggested time to start measuring things. He said he replaced the sump that has new sleeve bearing, so it's time to mic the crankshaft in the area where the seal lip is located. If the crankshaft has a seal wear ring on the crankshaft at the seal area and the crankshaft...

Yes you have a head scratcher. I would start doing some measurements and also feel how snug the ID of the seals you are buying fit to the shaft. I was replacing seals sometime back and they were selling me the wrong ID seals. The friction fit was not even snug on the ID. the Od was ok. On some...

Your engine ignition has probably been converted to the Magnetron ignition, so as points and condenser not required. The magnetron is a good thing. Here is a link to show your flo jet carb. Look carefully at the flo jet type, their is a large flo jet, small flo jet, one piece and two piece. If...

kinda old thread but here is some info about adjusting the deck belt tension that might be similar to yours. Type mower that deck shifts fore and aft as the lift lever is moved full travel. link to thread: see post 7, 8, 9 and look at the parts diagram so as to get an idea if yours is...
