Hi there, folks!
My potential future son-in-law and I were waxing nostalgic about our past days of fun with bikes, trikes and things with four wheels. As probably has happened with a lot of the members here, this led to an impulse purchase on Facebook of a fixer-upper that represented the end of someone else's "we should do this" journey and the beginning of ours.
It's what looks to be a solid chassis but the box of engine parts are a pretty sure sign of a failed lump and if the picture of the oil is any indication, it's going to be a complete rebuild due to buying a cart, running it without maintenance until it dies, taking it apart and parking it and the parts in the side yard until selling it a few years later.
It's a Tecumseh OHH60 which I'm reading up on. I haven't seen the box of parts myself yet though so I don't even know if enough parts are there to make it a viable rebuild candidate or whether we're better off buying a replacement engine.
Thank you all for the wealth of information and I look forward to learning a lot more with Google and the fine members of this board!
Take care!
