it happens dude i feel like that almost every day lol

 

[slideways]

Only the Cigar store Indian would think up a bowl design like that. I have to check it every time i mess with one. Is that a POS primer bulb carb or the nicer choke arm one? I found out that somehow the filter mounting screw is a port that needs to be plugged/screw mounted for the primer to work on those.

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Naa its a Choke arm, but its still a POS. They make it so funkin hard to take the carb off, and then they have the stupid bowl design, I mean i dont get it, why cant they just use a normal symmetrical bowl like a briggs would?

Oh well, all is good, it idles nice and runs good (well as good as a tecumseh ever has).

 

[freakboy]

where was this engine designed and made that will give you every answer to why it sucks

 

[I like karts]

Another reason why I'm loyal to Briggs and Stratton: Simple, well-designed carburetors.

 

[freakboy]

yes briggs are the best ever well the newer ones made in china arent as good as the older ones made here in the good ol usa.

 

[I like karts]

Yeah man. I've got 3 flatheads. two 5's and an eight. All older than 1990. Simple and easy to fix. I love those things.

So, in relation to the topic of this thread, sell your tecumseh, and get a briggs flathead or intek.

 

[freakboy]

yeah lol thats the way to do it! ohv's i dont like em i dont trust the timing chain at all.

that kart with a sled engine would be deadly lol. i think puttin a sled engine in my gokart would be over kill.

 

[lemegacool]

overkill is a word we dont know here!

that kart with a sled engine would be deadly lol. i think puttin a sled engine in my gokart would be over kill.

NOT AT ALL!

If i get a 440 or 340 fan from the 70's-80's, it would be perfect. 60mph easily while still being able to roast the tires. Maybe i dont need all 30-40hp from an old sled engine, but hey its cheaper than buying a 13hp clone and torque converter, And centrifugal clutches suck.

you do have a point. remember wear a helmet so u dont end up with the top of your skull missing!
or broken neck or broken spine or broken everything from the pelvis up. lol
