Tecumseh AH82?

[nickzom]

honestly, the trip is up to you, I wouldn't drive more than 2 or 3 hours to buy anything. alot of times shipping is cheaper.

i will take some pics of that for you.

 

[Russ2251]

honestly, the trip is up to you,

Gives me an excuse for getting out of New York for a day.
Any sleazy motels out there?

 

[nickzom]

you know, I think there is only 1 in town. its a Wingate I think.

 

[Russ2251]

HOLY CRAP...$92 a night.
Not quite sleazy enough...

 

[nickzom]

yeah, thats the only one in town

 

[Russ2251]

Guess I've been out of the loop for too long. Ain't nuthin' cheap no more.
I just may do the round trip thing...based on pics.

 

[nickzom]

yep, i will take them tomorrow, and put them up

 

[nickzom]

and like I said, i probably have some parts for these in the buckets and box of parts I have.
i will look through them and see what i have.

 

[nickzom]

alright Russ, drum-roll

[nickzom]

re took some of the blurry ones, still not the best. my camera sucks

 

[Russ2251]

Thanx Nick, but from what I can see, I can't use them.
I very much appreciate the trouble you went to though.
I would recommend putting them on Ebay to see if anybody bites.
Try posting them on oldminibikes.com as well.
Thanx again.

 

[nickzom]

if you dont mind me asking, why cant you use them?

 

[Russ2251]

The outward condition concerns me. Look to be in poor condition.
Appearance is everything.

 

[nickzom]

just dirty, they should clean up nicely

 

[Russ2251]

I'll pay you the $60 (plus shipping) that you paid. However, I think you'd be much better off putting them on Ebay or CL or some such.
They may be worth much more than the amount that I'm willing to pay...problem is finding a buyer.
I consider myself a "semi" professional when it comes to vintage kart engines.
I do not deny that they have "potential" value. I just don't see it for myself.

If your good with the $60 (plus shipping) , then PM me with address and I send a check...No questions asked.

 

[nickzom]

Ebay first, then If I get no buyers i may just keep them.

only reason i thought of selling them is because if I blow one up, i am screwed.

 

[Russ2251]

"Blowing them up" is highly unlikely unless bearings are badly worn.
Most common probs are burned pistons and ring wear.
Hastings has the rings and can be custom made if the need for them arises.

If you cannot find a buyer and decide to break even on your initial outlay, look me up.

 

[nickzom]

yep.

how high will these rev? do you know?

 

[Russ2251]

I seem to remember 11K out of the box, but not sure. Do not over rev them without a load.
I used to watch them race at Blitz Kart Stadium. Most ran on an alcohol/nitro mix. Many of them were twins or triples. Mac's, West Bends (now United States Motor Power), Homelite's, and Power Products (Tecumseh) ruled the day.
Those days are long gone, never to return.

 

[nickzom]

what all did they do to these to make bigger power out of them? I saw the billet heads, head girdles, and dual carbs, is there anything else that they would do?
