According to the parts list the carb is a 632351. This engine is on a 30 year old generator which I bought new, it burns no oil and other than carb cleaning it has been flawless. Now the choke and spring assembly is broken and has to be held in place with a stiff wire once it is warmed up.
This carb seems to be unique to particular HM80 models and not available even on Ebay except a new Tecumseh at close to $100 while a bunch of import replacements are in the $15-35 range for other Tecumseh models in the HM-80-100 family. At 77 Im on a fixed income and this winter has already been rough on finances.
My questions:
Can I use one that has no needle jet adjustment? Will my bowl and a new needle/seat kit work....or am I fighting a metric battle?
Can I use one that has the gas inlet at a right angle by unscrewing and using a straight one? Cant tell from photos if they unscrew. Otherwise I'll run a new gas hose.
What about ones that have 1-2 extra (vacuum?)ports? Can these just be blocked/plugged?
Does anybody have a bolt on replacement, original, rebuilt, etc I can afford?
Thanks for any help,
John
