It is the original engine, the Ariens owners manual I downloaded clearly shows the remote primer mounted on to the engine shroud. The casting of the carb body has the location for a carb mounted primer but it does not appear to be drilled with the passages necessary for a carb mounted bulb. I...

I know this is an old thread. But I have a similar problem with a TVS 120.,,I replaced the primer ( the old one broke off) with a primer with a hole in the center. Now it starts and dies I figured out if if plug the hole in the primer right after starting it …it continues to run. Seems like...

My fat fingers It is a TVS120- 63096F not 86. Could there be some kind of an oil breather that is not venting pressure this seems to have the Tecumseh type breather not the Briggs style that bolts on over the valves Chuck

Primer/carb question I am working on an old Ariens lawn mower model 911014 with a Tecumseh TVS120 63096F engine. Customer brought it to me with a broken remote mounted primer. Snaps into the blower housing (2 legs and a center fitting the hose gos to) Like the ones you see on snowblowers...

Thanks fo Thanks for the idea what I am struggling with is what keeps the blade from spinning bushing? I other words a round shaft with a round bushing over it what makes the shaft grip the bushing that the blade would be attached to?

Still unrepaired and I am still pondering what to do with this unit. If I had a lathe I might consider turning a washer if so type

I had a situation similar to this. I put a carb that needed a choke cable onto a 6.5 hp Briggs. I changed the backside of the air filter box to one that has the primer built into it. Seems like it helped it start. Or am I hallucinating? Is the internal venting and such on a choke style carb...

Yes it is very counterproductive: I have 10 different sizes of tools but not one that’s fit this new style. Do you know if this style has a name?

I have a full set?? of carb adjustment tools for 2 cycle carbs. But I have started to see some new configurations. Recently on a Chinese made engine and on a Stihl bower. The adjustment screws are centered in another screw. So that the actual low speed or high speed screw sits below a halo...

Thank you. I picked some up at Hone Depot and used it the other day. I worked great in removing the aluminum that was fused onto the crank journal. I am awaiting an order of wet-dry sandpaper from Amazon. The assortment I ordered has 200 to 1500 grit…8 grits at 200 or so at a step . Any...

Thank you for the reply. Do you have a brand of acid or a concentration recomendation? Get it at Home Improvement store like Lowe’s or Home Depot I am looking for technical info on the engine. Things like the torque specs on the crankcase bolts and a tightening pattern and the torque spec on...

Does anyone know about the 2 different sump gaskets that are packaged with the 594101 sump kit. The shape of the gaskets are identical but one is a thinner black paper, the other white thicker paper with a brown rubbery seal on the inner edge. My engine had the black gasket and that seems like...
