This probe unit is mostly made of plastic and the metal probe part doesn't look like it's the strongest thing you've ever seen. It's only 30 to 35 bucks and is intended to be stuck in a hunk of meat to measure it's temperature which sounds easier in theory then in practice. The object of the

[BlindHandyMan] Tacumseh engine carbeurator question

2010-06-11 Thread Dale Leavens
Good evening, I have a wood chipper and leaf shredder powered by a horizontal four stroke Tecumseh engine. The damn engine has given me a lot of grief over the years, trouble starting after periods of inactivity. Oddly, this year it has behaved fairly well. Then it began leaking fuel around

It's called a needle. It closes fuel off by the float pushing it into a seat. Thus the name I'm sure you've heard together, needle and seat. You'll have to buy them as a pair. The spring can drive you crazy. But before that happens, know it will work well without the hassle of the spring

OK, I figured it might be called a needle valve. I have run into trouble with them decades ago on marine outboard motors, I suppose the oil, quart to five gallons back when I used to play with them, maybe as you say, perishing rubber from the hoses. I'll have to try and get my hands on a kit

As luck would have it, I went to small engine school in 1980 and worked on both Brigs and Stratton and Tacumseh3.5 horsepower engines. It sounds like you've got a real old engine. They've just about wiped out all the small engine guys. Everything on the new stuff is throw-away. I talked to

Well therein lies the problem. I don't have a dealer that I know of anywhere near here. It is my understanding that they have about discontinued making Tecumseh engines altogether although there are loads of sources of parts. I don't much like the chipper either but neither do I like the price
