Dating engine

[daltojamesl]

Hello I have an old jiffy ice auger with a tecumseh engine. I'm trying to date this thing and need a hand. The engine number is AV520-670119K 0172H

Can you supply us with the serial number or post a picture of the ID tag? Would help us a lot.

Most likely the 172th day of 2000.

The zero could be 1990 or 2000, but if it has both an idle and high speed mixture screws could be earlier, because the EPA started eliminating adjustments around 1990. Earlier engines had a six digit serial number.

Page #1 of this manual might help. http://www.smallenginesuppliers.com...umseh_2-Cycle_Engines_Service_Information.pdf
