I just bought an old Roto-Hoe 500 chipper shedder it has a Tecumseh engine on it I'm trying to get this thing running it has spark, when I shoot a little starter fluid in the carb it fires. took the carb off and the bowl is all gummed up. I figure I will try rebuilding the carb, anybody know what kit I need and where to buy from. I can't find any numbers on the engine itself no model number or anything, (is this normal for techmseh?) on the carb there is a series of numbers looks like 96 9F15

Post a couple of pictures of the carb and engine, which will help us identify what you have and how we can help.

well that worked, but when resizing I cut most of the pic out, back to the drawing board

Take out the parts that need replacing and post a photo of them. I will find a carb kit for you that has them.
