When I did see both the 36045A and 6320347A, the 6320347A said it was a "direct replacement" for the 36045A. The 34045A as the Light Switch. If I get time later I'll look further. I doubt that I can read the number off of the carb - my eyes are not too good. The number I did have to work...

I'm too busy today to search any further. I found the following. If you remember I typed this earlier. All three numbers found something. This time I only found results for two of the numbers. "Then I entered "36045A 340351 6320347A" and all found three matches..."

Yup - I had to do a lot of screwing around to find it. And it still took me 15 minutes to find it again tonight. Then I remembered I saved a Bookmark for it last night. Try this link, and in the search box type 340351. See what happens. It also says it's compatable with 6320347A. Then...

Funny - I have a parts list for a engine that's similar to mine - maybe the same. I used it back in 2022 to look for the bulb and didn't see it. So I entered 36045A and found nothing. Then I entered 340351 nothing. then 6320347A and still nothing. Then I entered "36045A 340351 6320347A"...

OK - I did try to get the primer bulb 2 years ago. IIRC, the serial number was not readable. I'll check again tomorrow. The engine model is Tecumseh WTPXS-1851BA Again, IIRC, my engne model was actually WTPXS-165BA. But the 165 wasn't listed on any Tecumseh site. So I was using the 185...

I have a Weed-Eater push mower with a a 4.5 hp Techumseh engine. The primer bulb rotted. I ordered some from a mower parts store - the fit the hole but were so big that they were flimsy and didn't last long. Anyone know where I can look up an original tecumseh part? Thanks. An aside: The...

I read thru the posts and didn't see one thing to check - maybe I missed it... But I always like to check the simple things first. You said it used to start but then stopped starting at all. Did you check he safety switch on the seat? Never know... Timing is another thing. If you have...

I'll have to check the cable connections tomorrow. We have severe storms moving in - 2 inch hail just west of me. So I'm buttoned up now. Thanks... I agree - should like juice to solenoid, but not enought. No click.

I put a new battery into the mower and it worked fine. But the red plastic cover over the positive terminal was shot - so I ordered some covers. Today I installed them on both terminals - r/b. The starter gets juice but it doesn't turn over. Sounds like a stuck solenoid on a 1966 Ford I used...

OP - please let us know how your solve the problem. I thought maybe the blade were out of sync - that is, not mounted correctly relative to each other. But that's a long and continuous stripe.
