Default RE: My new project: Tecumseh

My original post is incorrect it is actually a 98cc engine. I have machined off the goofy carburetor mount and made a flat one all I have to do is weld it on  to the intake port.

I'm in the process or spec'ing out a carburetor for it, I think I'm going to go with a Walbro WJ series, the exact model kind of depends on what I can come up with for not a pile of money.

I am also a little concerned about the cooling fins, it seems like it is a little short on cooling, probably because it's a snow thrower engine where it would be used in cold weather. I'll just have to be diligent about proper cooling when I get around to installing it.

I'll post some more pics after I get the welding done, I'm going to TIG it because the new plate fits so well.
