Engine ID numbers

[Stuartburton56]

Looking to identify what engine I have so I can buy recoil starter. Any ideas

Look for a plate or some laser etched numbers on the block. May have to strip shrouds from engine. May even be on a sticker? Probably a 5-6hp engine though.

Couldn't see anything even when engine is out ,but as you I might need to take of a cover plate first. I wasn't want to buy a new recoil starter in case it's the wrong on .never had one on it when I bought it

Does it have compression when you try to turn it by hand? You may be starting down an expensive rabbit hole with the engine.

Cool. Maybe if you could use the part number in that e-bay add to find one over there?

its a techumseh 5 hp, I have one and love it, if your model has the oil sensor remove it, if you take a turn the oil will slosh away and cause the engine to turn off

 

[FlyFrog]

the pull start that you have pictured is correct
