I drove it onto the trailer! Had a bad fuel leak. This forum is my Help. I have stored a 1970 Camero that included doing the motor myself.
I have the operation manual, but not the service. It is a project mower to sell then I get it running to pay for the other (LT 11 36). The LT 10
has the mower deck, the LT 11 does not. I want the LT 11 for my garden as a hauler. Shops around here are $60 - $70 an hour and I don't trust
any of them. (Bad reviews)

Well I put the carb. back on after triple checking and removed the Spark plug to test spark.....it had spark but it did not look correct.
Put in a different plug and I started it and it ran for a short time then stopped. Removed the fuel filter and it ran until I turned it OFF!

Sounds like a new fuel filter is next glad to hear you narrowed it down to where your at now. Let us know how it turns out.

Made it the Gas station today and filled the fuel tank on the LT 10.
After a short while to let the gas get to the carb., I started the Tecumseh 10 HP
and she lives!:smile: I did a some adjustments and it is running very well with
no smoke:smile:.......I let it sit and cool down, then started it again and it fired
in one turn!:cool:

That's even better news!
And, sounds like you now have even more experience under your belt for the next project.

The next project is the LT 11 36. It has a problem getting into second gear and the throttle plate issue.
The YTV 16 is a pile of metal that going to be recycled.
I missed a deal on a newer Craftsman w/48" deck, front blade and ROTOTILLER on the back w/electric PTO
all for $200.00.....................................................
