i think you have the wrong carb for that motor,if im not mistaken,you need a series 2 or 3 style carb.i could be wrong,but i have a 8 horse on my go cart that has one of them,if you really need too know ,let me know and ill look it up in my book,later dude,jag

Try going to the Tecumseh web site, you can get an owner's manual for your particular machine.

Do a search on this site and find the reference to the Tecumseh small engine manual, its also available for download.
