Retired Wrencher 5,329 #1 Posted May 15, 2015 Well after a year of farting around with the little Tecky. I got it running. It had some real issues with electrical. It was left out side a lot it was rusted in a lot of areas like the engine shrouds. Possible reason for the electrical issues. So after putting a few coils on it and frying them. I strip it down. A friend had a snow blower engine [good for parts] so changed it all out to a pull start. Need to find a S/Blower starter for it at the show this weekend. I know you guys want pick`s but it is not much to look at. I am just happy it is running. So that is why I am posting. Enjoy the ride. Gary B.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,529 #4 Posted May 15, 2015 Gary, you need to take a picture of it running just for proof for the non-believers. Any body can say that they got a Tecumsah running. I happen to have pictures of when I got my 502 running some years ago...it had set for 20 years. Now that is something to be proud of. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a video of my 656 after I got the techy running good the other day, but since that day, it hasn't run more than 5 seconds at a time. I'm glad I got the video while I did. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been running it for the last 2 days fixing all the bugs. It started 2nd pull yesterday = cold, I must have did something write. I had some Marvel and cleaned it up a little looks a lot better. I have the show today. need to find a cheap seat and S/Blower starter. Steve I do not think it ever be like your 502 but it is fun to drive around the house..When I get home I will try do a short vid. Thanks Guys great site we have here. Gary B.
