Bttatro 94 #1 Posted August 20, 2016 Today I took my father and kids and picked up a 606 with snow blade. Rolls good, steering seems good and the engine turned by hand. The hood is a little rough with a piece cut out of the left side and it is missing the hood latch. Spent some time emptying the small amount of old gas that was in it (I do not think the gas tank is original) and putting some fresh gas in. Then cleaned up the spark plug. I noticed that it does not have a choke cable (but I think it should). Pulled the pull start and got it to run for about 4 or 5 seconds. The motor blew out a lot of blue smoke. I know it will need some carb work, and since it is burning oil maybe some new piston rings. What do you all think? The pictures have my father and my son in then. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,630 #2 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) ttatro Can you post some better pick`s of the engine area? It should have a choke cable. Does it look like these picks? this is the same but electric start. It has the original seat and steering wheel that's good. Enjoy the project. Carbs are cheap on E-bay don`t rebuild unless you want to. The blue smoke may be cause it been awhile since it last ran and flooded it. Feel free to ask any questions.

Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #3 Posted August 20, 2016 dont jump to conclusion it need rings yet. get her running good and let her run for a while. many peopleput oil in cylinder to prevent stuck rings for long storage. and if it sat a while it will need to be ran a bit anyway. i had a couple engines smoke at first because thy sat a long time once you ran them a couple hours they stop smoking. been fine ever since 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,630 #8 Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Bttatro Well it is looking like this is a short block or it cam out of another tractor. you do have the correct throttle linkage. But the choke linkage is missing or the clip is gone to hold the cable. Unfortunately the speed control bracket that bolts to the head is very hard to find. Maybe use a washer and small bolt to hold down the cable. The cables are easy to find. I would just buy a new carb for it off E-Bay for around $20.00. May be get a some new points and condenser cheap also. The hood latch is easy to find also. If not let me know. Good Luck and Enjoy the Project.

Molon_Labe 731 #9 Posted August 21, 2016 Congratulations on the new to you 606! You'll have it running like a Swiss watch in short order, love them Techy's. Here is a close up of the carb linkage on an H60 (that is an ebay $15 carb in the pic, runs great) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
