I just started a 1975 Tecumseh HH60 on a Troy-Bilt horse tiller yesterday. It had a huge mouse nest inside that destroyed the shroud, baffle, flywheel and magneto. The carburetor was also all gummed up. So, I threw another magneto, flywheel, baffle, shroud and an after market carb I had laying around on. Added a little more oil and some gas and it fired right up after sitting outside who knows how long with a humungous mouse nest in it, which the piss from ate all those parts away. Yep, fired right up and that tiller was tilling like it tilled yesterday. Those Tecumseh's, they are so terrible lol. That tiller than sold that same day. Not sure what people's issues are with Tecumseh, but almost everyone I ever dealt with keeps right on ticking, most of them are from the 60's and 70's still going. Good reliable engines if ya ask me.
I have the same engine on my backup mower. Winterized it and it sat for a year. Fired right up but after using it for awhile i noticed oil seepage on thr left sidr of the engine where it meetd the deck. Ckeaned the deck and ran it a week later. No oil leak. Could a seal have dried out????
Besides the blade hitting this was far too easy. Just like a push mower I had given to me a few weeks back all it needed was Gas, it fired up with two pulls after sitting who knows how long, after an easy tune up I made a quick 60 bucks profit on it after parts.
*needs to be revved higher, its at an ideal rpm when the connecting rod is visible
I love my Toro super recycler.

Sounds like it rev'ing way too high.... Needs to be turned down a few hundred RPM.

Are the tires on your lawn for some sort of mower obstacle course?
Gayyy

I have to ask... Why don't you just throw it away and buy a better lawnmower?
