Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumsah 6.5 Easy Start engine - putting carb back together, carburetor, low speed
QuestionMichael: I was working on a starting problem and got carried away. I've forgotten where the springs on top of the carburetor are connected. The lawnmower didn't run in the configuation I put it back in. It would start and stall. I had also previously cleaned the bolt and carb bowl. Also, are there any other adjustments I could have messed up?
Thanks, Phil D.
AnswerHi Phil,
All I can say about the springs is to look closely at the holes for wear spots, indicating where the springs were. Next, set the large high speed mixture screw at 1&1/2 turns out and the smaller low speed screw at 3/4 turn out. Adjust them further if needed.
Let me know how you make out.
Michael
