Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I reciently have recieved a Jacobsen Imperial 30 in non-running condition it turns over but has no compression. I am looking for information what type of tecumseh engine this snow blower. And where to find engine parts for it.

Thanx
Sean

Sean - there should be some engine numbers on the flywheel shroud near the cylinder head or on a metal tag down by the starter. Any small engine shop should be able to provide whatever you need. As for no compression, I would suspect a bad head gasket or a stuck/burned valve - very common on Tecumseh's...
