Want to replace the bowl assembly on my snowblower.

Here's the engine.
Model No. OH318EA-222712 11 HP
Uses short block 756346

The standard series 7 bowl assembly is avail with two main jets depending one the following chart
16429619748_f8a3537770_b.jpg

Despite finding three separate webpages explaining Tecumseh engine identification I tried and failed to correspond my engine's model number to 110-135 or 140-175.

This is the kit I'm ready to order
Float Bowl Repair Kit Assembly for Tecumseh 730638 | eBay


Incidentally, does anyone possibly know what the mm size is of the main jet on my series 7 carb?

According to the Tecumseh Quick Reference Guide, the float bowl kit for a OH318 is part number #730649.

Still confused. Another forum
Tecumseh engine ID confusion - Tech Support Forum

has suggested a few links that indicate that the XXXX39 is appropriate.

Google and Ebay list variations XXXX38/39/49, but no 48.

Since tecumseh went out of business, who can I check with by phone or email to get the definitive answer on this?

Now you are putting two people who are trying to help at odds with each other. I saw you post on another site under a different name. The only way you are going to be satisfied with an answer is to take the carb and numbers to a reputable repair shop and have them order you the correct part. I'm not going to say which of us is correct with our numbers, there have been updates on that float bowl system and and only with the parts in hand can I be 100% sure. Starting to think this is a test to see which poster can come up with the answer you want to hear. Good Luck, my last post on this thread.

Come again?

I'm not one who buys the adage that free advice is worth what you pay for it. I try to contribute as much as I receive. Why else are we here? Such forums are tremendous value to people who share freely, and share free from such accusatory drivel as you've offered up.

Neither do I accept that anyone ought to prostrate themselves before elite members that often police a forum for the minor thrill of slapping a wrist or two. No doubt, I'll get flagged here for being abusive when all I'm really doing is responding to just one more of these inane, and 100 percent unbidden, provocations.

There can be no other interpretation of "under a different name" than an accusation of deceit. That's absurd. More.. I find it very offensive. I'd link you to that thread at risk of exposing my crime? Oh my! Horrors. Who could come up with this nonsense? Get out of the house more and save that bitterness for self-reflection. I don't need it.

Rivets, since I'm going to get flagged for responding to your own childish insult I may as well go for broke. You sir are, for at least your role in addressing my original question, pretty much a useless fool. I'd be surprised if anyone more familiar to this board hasn't observed that already if you're a regular.

Sorry. That's just the facts.

Since you've frankly asked for that I'm only sorry that the mods will have to ban me, you will go on being a nuisance, and I will merely come back under another name. To 'trick' anyone? Are you off your meds? I'm guessing your not even a tiny bit capable of recognizing, much less admitting to, your role in setting off such "abuse" as I've committed here. What an idiot. Really.

Later.

Rivets, I can't help myself. You're a train wreck here. Why did you post that link? Did you fail to notice that I'd already offered it? Please explain. Is this a bad joke on me? Are you really here just to toss grit in the works?


What's up man?

Let me know you're anything but an irritating waste of space here? On second thought...

wait, you did say before that it was your "last post". You came back. Now you're irritating and disappointing at the same time. Congratulations. Oh, and did I mention useless:)

But oh god you're a hoot! Seriously, keep it comin' man. Clueless? Maybe I shouldn't be harsh. If it's an incipient senility I'd feel bad. How old are you? Is it about that time for you?

If even 1/10 of your 5500 posts are as empty and bitter as yours here then maybe it's time to find some other way to while the hours at the keyboard in the den. Just sayin.

If Rivets just took a mad dislike to my username, or my writing style, or who knows, and he's otherwise the most adored font of wisdom to the rest of you then I'm sorry, for everyone, that this thread had to happen. If not, then overboard with him for heaven's sake. Who needs it?
