You need to find and post the numbers off of the engine, so we can find out which exact Tecumseh you have, the number will start off with "143."...

OOOpps, I see it now that it came back up, let me do some digging...

 

[Fish]

But I see that you have said "the original engine" was 143.356012, and the engine was replaced with "143.406022"........

So are we looking at engine 143.406022, or a cobbled together bunch of parts from both?

The 143.406022 is a total replacement engine that I purchased from Sears . Tedws

Then how/why is there any problem?

So was the new replacement engine anywhere in your pics, or did Sears smear all of the old dirty grease and paint all over it? I see one newish carb, am I missing some pics?

No sir I am just not explaining very well about 1997 I broke the reverse chain in the transmission and my wife purchased for me a cub cadet so I parked it in the grage and some time back I got a reverse chain and put it in then I had a few hospital stays which put every thing on hold.The engine was new when I purchased it back before 1997,and because I could not get the transmission to work I parked it again. In the meantime I have misplaced the diagram of the governor so I do not know how to hook it up and also I I have no control with the throttle on the dash and when it rus the RPMs where really high.So the dirt is from where I did use it before the transmission problem. The dates may not be just right but they are close. I trying to get it running I have a use for it now and since I purchased it new in 1985 I thought it would be worth getting it going. Thanks for your help. I am not a good speller. By the way I am 73 years old.

This engine was run for about 6 months after I got it an then the tractor was stored for about 15 years
