I have a Craftsman/Tecumseh snowblower and the piston rings need to be replaced. Son replaced the top (stripped spark plug threads) and while doing so, went further and did a break down to clean it and discovered one of the rings had a chip. I was able to track down a NOS set in Maryland but...

What is the difference between the two engines? NLA I understand, just curious.

Spoke to an out of state shop today (will be there next week and had my fingers crossed) and was told Snapper is out of the walk behind mower business. Local shop had no information. Murray purchased the name 10 years ago "and is not same company". I love the Hi-vac design.

Snapper P2187520 8.75 ft/lbs 190cc Professional Series with a Briggs and Stratton 12S902-0126-B1 and it heavily smokes on startup, more than normal. 15+ years old. Self-propel also quit working but that is a separate issue. On small engines such as this, what entails a "rebuild"? Carb kit?
