This is a stupid question, but does anyone know how to start a techumseh 5.5 hp engine or better yet do they have a picture or video??? I think mine has been messed with and I can't figure out how to start it...

Usual procedure would be to set the choke (if it has one) or slowly push and release the primer 3-5x (if it has one). Make sure the switch is in the "on" position. Grasp the starter handle and pull slowly until you feel the starter engage, then pull briskly.

This is not a Tec-specific instruction, it is general to our small engines.

Make sure the fuel is fresh and the valve (if equipped) is turned on. If this doesn't work, we're into troubleshooting a problem.
