6wheeler 603 #1 Posted November 3, 2019 I picked up a free Tecumseh engine yesterday. I got it running pretty well. I cannot find a model tag on it anywhere. I think it was a snowblower engine. I cannot find anything to tell what Horse power it has. Do any of you Techy guys have an idea? It is a recoil with 120v electric start as well. Any help is appreciated.

pfrederi 17,662 #2 Posted November 3, 2019 110 volt starter probably is a snowblower engine. Any air cleaner on it. (Blower engines do not have them) Could be 5 to 10 hp Id stamped into blower housing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whman01 15 #3 Posted November 3, 2019 Older Tecumseh engines had a metal tag riveted to the blower housing. Newer ones have the numbers stamped in the top of the blower housing. Newest engines have a plastic tag adhered to the housing. Bob 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be good to go after. Now, to find something that needs an engine............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
