I have this exact motor but I’m having trouble even getting access to the carb from the top because there seems to be no way to remove the engine shroud. Every video I see it has already been removed. How do you take it off?
I have a 1974 Eska that was made for Seacruiser. Same as Ted Williams just branded different I believe. My carb and some other components are also painted white.
You can get engine and tune-up parts for Tecumseh but the Eska lower unit parts are unavailable, unless you find a parts motor. I've never needed one, but I've heard that you can get reproduction water pump impellers.
Believe it's 32:1...also unleaded gas is not recommended. There is ethylene in today's gasoline here in the U.S. Ethylene will draw oils from rubber materials causing a hardening of these components. Ethylene is an alcohol and it will combust at higher temperatures often causing engine overheat issues. Lead in fuel is a lubricant but is not currently sold in the U.S. Additives are sold that will help with unleaded fuel issues.
Hey I have the same exact motor and I'm having issues with the fuel primer coming from the gas tank stain pressurized would that be because the fuel pump isn't working and not pulling gas through over there be a leak in the line or in the gas tank somewhere
TOMMIE Lee yes the fuel primer has a problem staying pressurized when I’m just idling or motoring around real slow but when I am at full throttle I just have to squeeze it a few times and let it sit and it’ll stay pressurized full throttle but whenever I’m at a low idol it wont stay pressurize and it’ll die
Hello my friend, thanks for the video... im writing you from chile. do you know about any page where i can boy the carburetor?? i can not find them, or the model number... if im not wrong the part model is 632121, Thanks!
that's a 1972-1974 Ted Williams ESKA built motor. the reason it doesn't go to fast is because it has an interrupt rod to prevent boat run-away if it's started in gear. The Orange diaphragm is called a duckbill( strange reason).
They are air cooled but tjey do have an impeller to cool exhaust just like any outboard DO NOT RUN OUT OF WATER you will cause damage and it will overheat
Great video. Thanks 🙏🏼
But does anyone know the float adjustment measurement for this carburetor?
How on earth did u get the bolt off thats on the side with the idle screw
Just picked up one of these that hasn’t run since the 70s lol. And advice on maintenance besides engine work?
I've been told these engines are a tecumseh powerhead identical to the Jiffy Ice Auger. So start there for parts.
Nice thanks for the tip!
Fun fact thank you

On my 7.5 there are screws on the bottom of the engine that allow the front metal shroud to be removed. 6 screws to be exact.

the small orange piece is a fuelpump. If it has a hole in it, replace. Eska carb rebuild kits are around $25.
Have to move the clutch to go into fast
Are parts available for those outboards? I have a chance to get one that has not ran for years.
I’m actually not sure. From the comments below it seems like there are some common ground with this Sears brand on other units. I would check eBay

Carburetor cleaner is not the same as starting fluid.
What's the gas oil mix ratio?
30 to1

Probably clogged somewhere
...staying pressurized...wasn't sure what you were asking. I'm gettin' better, though.

@@tonymarinaro8958 have you resolved the issue? Im trying to start a motor thats been sitting and cant get a firm bulb either
looking for rebuilt carburetor for the Tecumseh engine. It shows 640 16 TECUMSEH 7069 on the engine.

Have to have it in gear to have it go to “fast”
Makes sense haha

Anyone?!? Not sure

mrgard23 does this go away if u start it in neutral or will it be stuck?
Hey dirt shop guy I have a 1970s eska ted williams 5hp got it running but what gos on top of carburetor little hole that pees gas any insight.
PLEASE...be advised...rubber gloves are a necessary part of fuel system repair projects. Happy trails...
Very true
Falls
Why do you have it in a bucket. I see this all the time. There is no need it is an air cooled motor.
It’s been awhile since I worked on this one but I thought it had a cooler intake down there! I could have been mistaken hahah!
Dont feel bad i see most people doing this. Its better to be safe than sorry. And if your not sure do it

@@richgear681 beat me to it. Exactly what I was going to say!
