Crepresents the line and shift on which the engine was built at the factory.
FUELS. Tecumseh Products Company strongly recommends the use of fresh, clean, UNLEADED regular gasoline in all Tecumseh Engines. Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner, extends engine life and promotes good starting by reducing the build up of carbon deposits. Premium gas or gasohol containing no more than 10% ethanol can be used if unleaded fuel is not available.
NOTE: NEVER USE GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, UNLEADED REGULAR GASOLINE CONTAINING MORE THAN 15% M.T.B.E. OR ETBE,
GASOLINE ADDITIVES, OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE/FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
NOTE: In countries where unleaded gasoline is not available, regular gas can be used.
Make sure that gasoline and oil are stored in clean, covered, rust free containers. Dirt in fuel can clog small ports and passages in the carburetor. Use fresh gasoline only. Gasoline standing for long periods of time develop a gum that will result in fouled spark plugs, clogged fuel lines, carburetors and fuel screens. Using fuel that is not fresh will cause engines to be hard starting, especially in cold temperatures.
Clean gas cap, tank and fuel container spout when filling fuel tank, to assure that dirt will not get into fuel system.
If gasohol is used, special care is required when the engine is to be stored for extended periods.
ENGINE OIL. Use Clean, high quality 2 CYCLE OIL. NMMA
FUEL/OIL MIX. Follow fuel and engine oil requirements listed in the Owner’s Manual. Disregard conflicting instructions found on oil containers. The fuel/oil mix for all
NOTE: Sears Craftsman models use a 40:1 mix which is acceptable.
NOTE: ALWAYS DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF OIL FOR THE FIRST GALLON OF MIX FOR ENGINE BREAK IN.
To assure thorough mixing of oil and gasoline, fill container with gasoline to one quarter full, add oil as recommended, shake container vigorously and then add remainder of gasoline. Do not mix directly in engine or equipment fuel tank.
Some models will have a

STORAGE:
NEVER STORE ENGINE WITH FUEL IN TANK INDOORS OR IN ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED ENCLOSURES WHERE FUEL FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME, SPARK OR PILOT LIGHT AS ON A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, CLOTHES DRYER, ETC.
If engine is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows:
1.Remove all gasoline from fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming in tank and other fuel system components, causing possible malfunction of the engine.
DRAIN FUEL INTO APPROVED CONTAINER OUTDOORS, AWAY FROM OPEN FLAMES.
Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel.
Fuel stabilizer (such as
If gasohol has been used, complete preceding instructions and then add a small amount, one pint or less, of unleaded regular automotive gasoline properly mixed with the specified lubricating oil and run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the engine stops due to lack of fuel.
2.Pull starter handle slowly until resistance is felt due to compression pressure, then stop. Release starter tension slowly to prevent engine from reversing due to compression pressure. This position will close both the intake and exhaust ports to prevent corrosion of the piston and the cylinder bore.
3.Clean unit by removing any dirt from exterior of the engine and equipment.
CAUTION: Remove spark plug wire before doing any service work on engine.
1.Service or replace air cleaner as necessary.
NOTE: Snow King® engines do not use an air filter due to the clean operating environment and to prevent filter
2.Remove blower housing, clean all dirt, grass or debris from air intake screen, cylinder cooling fins, and carburetor governor levers and linkage.
3.Remove carburetor, clean and install a carburetor kit, make adjustment presets where needed. Presets are found in the carburetor section of this manual.
Make sure fuel tank, fuel filters and fuel lines are clean. Reinstall carburetor, replacing any worn or damaged governor springs or linkage. Make proper governor adjustment. Adjustments are found in the manual under governor linkage and adjustment and engine reassembly.
4.Replace with correct spark plug.
5.Make sure all ignition wires are properly routed, so they will not rub on flywheel. Inspect all ignition wires for abrasion or damage. Remove flywheel and check flywheel key, reinstall flywheel, torque flywheel nut to specifications. Set air gap between solid state module and flywheel at .0125'’. Air gap gauge, part no. 670297 may be used.
6.The engine must be firmly mounted to the associated equipment. On rotary lawnmowers, make sure blade is properly balanced and correctly torqued. See dissassembly section for flywheel removal and air gap setting procedure.
7.Make sure all remote linkage is properly adjusted for proper operation.
8.Fill tank with proper fuel/oil mix.
9.Run the engine, allow it to warm up 5 minutes, then adjust carburetor and set R.P.M. according to Tecumseh’s recommendations.
Snow King® engines should be run in outdoor temperatures for engine adjustments.

OPERATION OF HSK,
A low pressure area is created in the crankcase as the piston moves upward to compress the air / fuel mixture in the cylinder. Then the piston moves far enough to uncover the intake port, the air / fuel mixture from the carburetor flows into the engine crankcase due to higher pressure atmospheric air. Just before the piston reaches top dead center (TDC), the spark plug ignites the air / fuel mixture in the cylinder.
The expanding combustion gases force the piston down. The downward piston travel causes a pressure buildup in the crankcase. The piston uncovers the exhaust port first followed by the transfer ports. The exhaust flows out the exhaust port while the pressurized air / fuel mixture enters the cylinder from the crankcase through the transfer ports. As the piston travels upward the sequence is repeated.
As the mixture flows into the combustion chamber through the transfer ports, it collides and is directed to the top of the combustion chamber looping when it strikes the cylinder head, thus forcing all spent gases out through the open exhaust ports.
TERMS. Listed are common terms often referred to on
EXHAUST or SCAVENGE PHASE. The burned gases must be cleared out of the combustion chamber and replaced by a fresh charge of
PORTS. Openings in the cylinder allow gases to pass into and out of the combustion chamber. The ports are opened or closed by the upward and downward movement of the piston.
EXHAUST PORTS. Allow the burned gases to pass out of the combustion chamber.

SERVICING THE CARBURETOR - SERIES VI
To service the Series VI carburetor follow the procedure listed in this section of the manual.
After the carburetor has been removed from the engine, remove the primer bulb. Using a needle nose pliers, grasp the primer bulb and roll the primer bulb out.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses or goggles while removing the retaining ring that holds the primer bulb in place.
LEFT HANDED MARKINGS |
NOTE: Left handed fixed jets are used on TVS/TVXL840 models only.
Remove the bowl nut. The bowl nut on this carburetor has LEFT HANDED threads. This can be identified by the letter “L” preceding the numbering on the bowl nut. Also, the head of the bowl nut is notched. This is the same identification used in many industries for left handed nuts.
If the bowl nut is turned the wrong way, it will break off in the center leg where the fuel pick up passages are drilled. If this happens, a screwdriver will fit into the bowl nut which then may be turned out in the proper direction.
Remove the throttle plate and shaft with the dust seal and spring.

AND SEAT |
All Tecumseh carburetors with an adjustable float require the correct float height to achieve the proper operation and easy engine starts. To check the float setting, hold the carburetor in an upside down position. Remove the bowl nut, float bowl, and "O" ring. Place an 11/64" diameter drill bit across the top of the carburetor casting on the opposite side and parallel to the float hinge pin. The float must just touch the drill bit when the bit is flush with the edge of the float. If the float is too high or too low, adjust the height by bending the tab accordingly. If the required adjustment is minor, the tab adjustment may be made without removing the float and carefully inserting a small bladed screwdriver to bend the tab.

SERVICE
CARBURETOR
NOTE: Some carburetors have fixed main and idle jets. The absence of the adjusting screw indicates a fixed jet and no adjustment is necessary.
Before adjusting any mixture screws the necessary carburetor presets should be made. Check for the proper governor adjustments (see governor adjustment section). Identify the correct carburetor model to find locations of the high and low speed adjustment screws. Check the throttle control bracket for proper adjustment allowing a full choke shutter position. (see "Speed Controls and Linkage"). Check to see if the normal maintenance procedures have been performed (oil changed, fresh fuel, air filter replaced or clean). Consult microfiche card #30 to find the correct R.P.M. settings for the engine. RPM specifications can also be found on Plus One or Parts Smart computer programs. Start the engine and allow it to warm to operating temperature. The carburetor can now be adjusted.
Turn both the main and idle mixture adjusting screws in (clockwise) until finger tight.

It is a good idea when decarbonizing the exhaust ports, check the E.G.R. passage as well.
The E.G.R. tube is a hardened steel roll pin. To remove the tube, grasp it with a vise grip and rotate in the direction that will collapse the tube and allow it to be removed.
It is best to clean this passage when the piston is out of the bore to eliminate any possible damage to the piston or bore. Use any

Using a small, thin center punch or large scribe, stake the port plug in 12 evenly spaced positions.
Use 5 minute epoxy and fill in around the outer diameter of the plug. This will ensure you have no air leaks.
Allow epoxy to cure for 24 hours before using engine.

REWIND STARTER
TYPE I
The rewind starter on the engine can be disassembled by using the following steps.
1.After removing the rewind from the engine blower housing release the tension on the rewind spring.
2.Place a 3/4'’ deep reach socket inside the retainer pawl. Set the rewind on a bench, supported on the socket.
3.Using a 5/16 roll pin punch, drive out the center pin.
4.All components that are in need of service should be replaced.
THIS REWIND SPRING IS NOT IN A CANISTER. Care must be used when handling the pulley because the rewind spring and cover is held by the bosses in the pulley.
TO REASSEMBLE THE REWIND STARTER:
1.Reverse the above listed procedure keeping in mind that the starter dogs with the dog springs must snap back to the center of the pulley.
2.Always replace the center pin with a new pin upon reassembly. Also add an additional plastic washer (two total) upon reassembly. This washer will be provided along with the new center pin.
3.Check retainer pawl. If it is worn, bent or damaged in any manner replace upon reassembly.
Tap the new center pin in until it is within 1/8 of an inch of the top of the starter.
CAUTION: Driving the center pin in too far will cause the retainer pawl to bend and the starter dogs will not engage the starter cup.
TYPE II
Starters use a new wedge and post system which is serviced in the following steps.
1.Remove decal covering the pin wedge.
2.Use a small screw driver to pry out the wedge.
3.Next use a needle nose pliers to compress the retainer assembly and push it out.
4.Inspect all parts and replace using the Parts Look Up system by model and specification numbers.
5.Always replace the retainer and retainer wedge.
NOTE: Snow King® recoil springs have a specially designed recoil pulley with a frost ring.
