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

Hi there, always fire up my snowblower using the electric start.  Tried yesterday, and got a whine from the starter, repeatedly.  Felt around the starter and to my surprise its loose. In fact one bolt already fell out & is missing and the top screw is loose.  Hoping to simply replace the missing bolt and tighten up the rest and hopefully the starter will fire.  The problem is what type of bolt fits the starter housing.  Tried the Tecumseh site but it has no schematic showing type/size of bolt.

Got this info from the starter:  Tecumseh 12205  120V 15 amp  33329D

As always, appreciate the advice. 

standard   1/4-20 x 1/2.  use a corresponding lock washer.  we also like using blue loc-tite on these fastners.  they see a lot of torque on every use.
