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

I have an old Ariens snowblower, and need a new bowl nut for the carb. Problem is, I have no idea what the original parts number is to find the replacement, and don't see it on the parts themselves. The engine is Tecumseh, HS50, and I see that the site linked below has about 4 different adjustment screw assembly kits. Any idea which one I need? Thanks.

If the engine is an older one (pre 1987/8), then follow 'Lint's advise - he knows his stuff. If its older, there could be a metal tag rivited to the side of the pull start housing. If its newer than 1988, I think there should be a decal on the side of the pull starter housing with the numbers on it...

'Lint - could you double check the years I mentioned? I think I'm close with them...
