![Tecumseh 640266 (640288) Detailed Carb Clean [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tELlcbxgnww/mqdefault.jpg)
I know the feeling about those engines. They sure are finicky. But guys still really like them. I rescued about 4 of them off the curb so far and have fixed and resold each one.
I love these engines, in my opinion, they were better than Briggs&Stratton (not saying Briggs is bad). But you have to service them well and use them regularly, then they will last.
It starts , no prime, first pull. I've had to clean the float bowl, that's all in 4 years. Other than oil changes. But all my mowers have in line filters which I change regularly. It's the best engine I've ever owned
Thanks for the great video. Yep these things can be finicky for sure. But you got it running real well. Good job. Keep the video's coming.
Tecumseh Mafia approves..
Gr8 vid
Love the zip tie egg beaters 😆
This past year I came across a few Tecumseh and got them going . But lately been finding more kohler’s
I have the same mower and engine and have had zero problems with it. The Tecumseh engine is much heavier than the Briggs. It has an oil pump instead of the splash method of lubrication the other engines have. A couple of years ago I stored it without running it dry. All I did was remove the bowl and spray carb cleaner in the throat while starting it. Cleared it right up. Put a new bowl gasket on and away it went. Only thing I don't like is it's not being a Personal Pace. That would have been nice. That engine is heavy duty compared to the newer ones. Have three Toros and really like them.
I have had some problems with after market tecumseh carbs leaking as you described. I also find some that leak slowly out the bottom of the bowl when brand new.
Nice man i just fixed the exact same mower
Nice vid! I love these Tecumseh LEV engines, got four of 'em on Personal Pace mowers in the shop right now that I'm restoring. I never have problems getting them to run properly but I always seem to find blown out sump gaskets on them for some reason. Unusual to have one of those new carbs fail but hey it's an $8.00 China aftermarket carb so can't really blame Tecumseh for that one LOL!
I’ve seen both the sump and top crankshaft gaskets fail. The latter sends oil all over the inside and overtime makes a nice sludge.
Couple things. The run speed is adjusted by the tension on the governor spring, not the idle screw. Also, the primer won't work on these carbs if the left air filter mounting screw is not installed. Tecumseh bulletin. I realize this is 2 years late.
Good old Brand T. I rarely see one anymore. I have a lot of Briggs parts, and one Techumseh air filter, maybe.
Yea they are still around every now and again here
I just fixed one. Carb and coil.
Can i use that round air filter an cover in that mower?,
Cuz the air filter an cover for the mower that i have is different
You would have to change the base of it out so it would be the base, the filter and the cage. You have to have all three parts
@hanksgarage_ i got a toro mower for free and it doesn't have the black filter cover , i found one on ebay but it's $36 and the one you used (round) its cheaper
SUGGESTIONS? almost every small eng i find these days, the carb has had ethinal in it for years, and everything is clogged, using welding wire i can clear main jet but i can never get idel jet free. any tried and true methods for getting those ethinal chunks out of tiny passages that wire wont fit in to and carb cleaner wont touch?
Yea either use an ultrasonic cleaner or leave it in chem dip and let it soak
@@hanksgarage_ well, dont know what either of those are.
@@RockeyDAproductions Then you better stay away from small engines in general.
@@v-g-z3689 why? i would say im quite gifted in the way of small eng. enough to say my fave carb is the first gen 3 screw brigs oppy carb, witch goes on a beast of a motor to.
@@RockeyDAproductions Well, I just found it a little strange that you don´t know what an ultrasonic cleaner or chem dip is. No offence though, 15 years ago I didn´t know that either ;)
Where so you even use Mowers at in california. Tecumsehs arent soo horrible. Judt the ones that dont run
People here still have grass. The stuff I mow is just seasonal weeds. But everyone mostly has yards.
@@hanksgarage_ hmm. Must be been in the desert when I visited
Didnt see touch of any yards
@@hanksgarage_ I'm in Ohio
We mow April-October
As always, thanks for the video. Were you lucky or just plain good putting that starter cord on. It usually takes me an hour fussing with that. It never behaves like it should.
Melting the ends makes it so much easier to get it through. Normally I’ll have to try it a couple times but it usually goes in pretty easy
breakfast video :-)
👍👍
I have a very similar engine on my Scott's 21997X8A , I find it sad that toro even used this engine. . it's the best engine. Ever. And toro is the worst ever. What a shame for Tecumseh.
Alright... who disliked??
Probably some butt hurt kid or something lol. It’s all interaction as far as I’m concerned
@@hanksgarage_ Haha, yup
Probably one of those "Tecumseh is junk Briggs&Stratton is king" guys.
@@v-g-z3689 Lolll, yeah, tho B&s arnt bad, they both have floors
Not a fan of those engines at all. Everything else is built like a tank though.
The new Toro Recyclers are junk! Worse mower I ever bought. After 9 days, took it back to Home Depot for refund.
Engine skipped every minute or so. Mower wouldn't crank after the first 20 mins of using it. Pulled for a minute..got it started, began cutting out like it was going to shut down. The self propel controls are not user friendly. They are underneath the handle...had to use my thumbs to activate that feature. Mower was hard to cut straight lines for me because of that awkward control position.
Never buying a Toro again.
Must be made in china.
Did it have a Briggs on it?
