tunahead72 2,518 #2 Posted February 29, 2012 Just off the top of my head ... Did it run BEFORE all this work? Have you done a compression check? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #3 Posted February 29, 2012 Not sure, is that the H60 Tecumseh motor? I recently uploaded the H60 parts manual in the files section...might help you out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,334 #4 Posted February 29, 2012 Did you put in a new flywheel key? They are a soft aluminum alloy designed to shear. Did it backfire when you first tried to start it? Backfiring can deform the key and then you will have a very nice spark but occurring at the wrong time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockinhorse 45 #8 Posted March 1, 2012 4speed Just went thru the same thing. I got a carberator rebulid kit and rebuilt the carb. Make sure you clean all the vents real good . The float is tricky to set . Once i got it set right it starts good. I also put a new plug in . I used a NKG 3510 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
