Got the Chinese carb installed on my HH60 and had it running decent. Tried to get it to idle by adjusting the idle screw..Well now it's a bear to start and smokes like a frieght train in the event it actually fires... Fuel shut off is suddenly stuck open as well. Had some  sediment in the fuel filter, which doesn't surprise me. 

Why won't it start now??:(

Some dirt/sediment got by the filter and messed up your new carb???  really should clean out the whole fuel system and replace the hoses and filter when you put in a new carb.

That's what I'm thinking.. I did replace the lines and filter. Just dealing with an old tank. Guess I'll acid wash it again

      A new member of the herd. C160/Tecumseh.
      By ebinmaine
      A HUGE thank you to Tony @Docwheelhorse for settin' me up here.
       
      The generosity of some of our members never ceases to amaze me.
       
      This here is another 1974 C160, but with the rare Tecumseh HH/OH160 OHV engine. Made one year only.
       
      It's rough. Very much in need of a full disassembly and restoration.
       
      When it came here it was missing one tie rod and the other was broken off one end.
      Today I popped used tie rods on and Trina used her 867 to drag it from the drive to the shed.
       
      The engine wouldn't move.
      Tin was near chock full of skeletal mouseseses and their house.
      Cleaned that out and the engine spins freely now.
       
      So progress has been made.
       
      It'll be a good long while before we get to this one but I just couldn't turn it down considering the rarity.

      Recharge magneto??
      By The Tuul Crib
      Here's a crazy question I had to ask anyway. I have an old HH 60 that has no spark. Obviously something with the magneto. There is no way to recharge these correct?  I have cleaned all connections and still no spark any helpful suggestions lmk
      Thanx

      Anything special I need to know to disassemble an HH60?
      By ebinmaine
      We're going to take apart the Tecumseh from my Honey's 657 so I can replace the crankshaft.
      Any little tricks or tips I need to know about?
