Tecumseh 6.5

[jwmurph]

I have an old Tecumseh power sport on a cart that was given to me. It didn't have a spark plug in it and he said it's been setting outside for a bit. It's not locked up but is it worth trying to rebuild it or should I just buy a Predator 6.5 for 120.00

Its worth it just for the experience! I'd say go for it.

But if you do break down and buy a pred, rebuild the tec anyways. I hear they are reliable engines when maintained well.

I have a tec 6.5 and love it, of course my engine looks like its been garaged after its been ran hard and has zero rust. They're torquey motors. Just take care of it and it'll last probably longer than a car engine.

I would go for a rebuild. It is definately a rewarding experience to get something working that you yourself have fixed

Oh....and to the forum

Sleeping, at that hour!

I'll echo what's been said- give it a shot! At best, you'll have an engine that didn't cost you much. At least, you'll learn something.
