Russ2251: You are exactley right, But I thought I would run the engine untill it gets warm then adjust Valve Lash as I worrey about them warming up and being over tight causing valve problems. I have everything else set to specs, Mag, Spark Plug, and Carborator float level. It has a non...

The air filter was missing on mine, there was nothing but the frame that bolted to the carborator. That was the main reason I rebuilt it. I know what running with out a filter will do to cylinder and rings. I built a filter bracket for it and I have thought of adding a butterfly type of choke to...

I mounted the engine today. turned on the switch and pulled the rope it fired and ran about 2 seconds. I pushed the prime button 3 times, set at 1/4 throttle, pulled the rope and it was running. It is starting on first pull but I must say that with out a choke it runs rough for a couple minutes...

Tecumseh Update I adjusted the valve lash to about .006 becouse the engine was cold and I figured more than that might cause problems when engine warmed up. After adjusting the valves I noticed that the decompression mechanisim was working properly when I slowley rotated the engine I could see...

I have checked the flywheel key and that is in perfect condition no nicks or bending but I have not checked valve lash although upon rebuilding the engine I noticed it lose( I am an old Ford man and the old OHV1950s engines were better off with some valve lash.) But I will adjust that tonight...

Tecumseh Engine kickback It came with the go kart frame I have modified into an AT Wheelchair but the engine needed some work to get it back up. When running it burns no oil and does not leak oil.

I have a Tecumseh OHH60 engine I rebuilt. The engine runs but when I start it it sometimes has extreme kickback. I have double checked the timing, removed the flywheel and checked the condition of the key, I have set mag gap, and spark plug gap according to specks. I have triple checked...

progress on my Wheelchair I have just painted my wheelchair after extending the frame 12 inches under the seat brackets in order to make room for the seat and seat adjusters. I built my chair with brakes and throttle under floor board. In two days after paint is dry I will start assembling it...

wheel chair more info :wai:Thank you wingnut, redsox985, fowler, theo, and toystory 4wd: Wingnut in response to your post: I can use my legs, and lift stuff as long as I don’t stand for more than 3 or 4 minutes at a time. The 30 MPH speed was wish full and I agree with you that 15 or 20 would...

Thank you fowler and theo for your post on my project: I did not realize a live axel would tear up turf on turns. I thought they were like a car rear end where the tire with the least traction would be the drive tire. I looked for electric wheel scooters in this area on Craig’s list, I could...

I started this project because I wanted to be more mobile now that my back and legs don’t work like they used to, and I have a shoestring budget. My objectives are: (1) Build a machine that will allow me to go places I can’t easily get to now. (2) Top end speed of about 25 MPH. (3) Travel on...

ATV Wheelchair plans I am currently building the frame which after much debate I decided to use a tricycle design with a gasoline engine for power. Originally I planned on building it with 1" and 3/4 " conduit. I had made all my drawing’s and was ready to purchase the material when I found two...

I am currentley building myself a ATV wheelchair that will let me go about anywhere, except deep water. I miss not being able to walk in the woods or on the dunes at Lake Michigan, But these are only two of many reasons I am building my self a chair. I found this site and thought that as I get...
