Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumseh Ignition, engine mod, hp engine
QuestionI have a Tecumseh 5 HP engine, mod OHH50, Ser 69013C on a Yardman lawn vac. It starts readily and runs 30 to 45 minutes like a top, then dies like out of gas, but actually has no spark. Cleaned fuel lines, but of course that did not help. I guess this model has a magneto?
Answer hello,
yes it has a magneto- coil . and it is shorting out when it gets hot and quites. i,m guessing as soon as it cools down it runs again, but does this over and over ? if so then it needs replacing. its about a $29 dollar part. if you need more help i,m here.
