Newbie with one little problem
Original Message Dec 12, 2007 9:45 pm |

Hello everybody ! I have been on here many times but have now decided to join up . Now here's where I need some advise on a Tecumsah 11 hp Sears Snowblower . This snowblower runs but lopes , hard starting when hot and will not idle low speed . I took the carb off and it has all the signs of old gas . Cleaned it all up , still runs bad . In fact worse . I want to just put a new tecumseh carb on it and not rebuild this one . No time to keep taking it apart again and again . A local repair shop says I have a 640054 carb .I asked him if a 632334A will work he said he was not sure . I would prefer a adjustable non emissions carb . Can anybody help me make the right choice here . Thank you in advance , Bruce

how much did you clean?did you take it apart?if you did,it does make a difference on how the little neddle with a clip goes on.and if your bowl has a indent in it ,different levels,it does make a difference,hope this helps.
Yep i took it all apart and blew the seat out with my air hose too ......... ! Yep I sprayed it , ran wire thru the little holes , then cleaned it more . Then i lost the fiber washer that goes on the bottom side of the float bowl , and continued to try to put it together and get it running . i am sure i did make a mess of it . Nothing is set to specs now .
If it came off one of my old Buicks or Tbird I would have it running but hey i did try , right ? The carb now sits here at the computer desk as a paper wieght for now . Thanks for your help .

Also check the cap on the fuel tank.Mine has a plastic cap with a cork gasket the gasket had 2 tiny holes that were closed up and the cap has 1 tiny hole that can be seen with the cork gasket off I enlarged that hole to twice the original size Im thinking the cap has some sort of check valve built into it. From reading other posts this can be a common problem.
