Nothing like that. Engine runs fine. Just in for maint. Oil change and grease everything and fix a small oil leak. The guy uses this to plow snow and level out his gravel driveway. I really like the old cast iron tecumseh engines.Don't tell us someone left E-10 in the fuel system. Carb is all eaten up turned to chalk. Killer machine built to last.
I have an old sears mower in The barn with a tecumseh OHV waiting to get restored. I have an old Bunton mower with a VH100 cast iron 10 hp and a Sears ST12 mower with an HH120 cast iron 12hp.I have seen and worked on these old OHV engines. Most that I saw were on Sears mowers though.
Struck they still make and sell a newer version called the Magnatrac MH4900What brand is this? It’s kinda cute!
