old Sears Craftsman 8 HP snowblower Tecumseh motor...I need a new carburetor
Original Message   Dec 17, 2010 9:40 pm
Hi Folks

I cant find any Tecumseh model# on this engine, the Sears model# for the snowblower is C950-52118-2.

I think Sears removed the label from the engine when the snowblower was built.

I think the snowblower is at least 12 years old.

I want to purchase a new carburetor for it.

The only other info I can find is that according to the Tecumseh Technicians handbook, the carburetor is a Series 3.

Can anyone help me? 

Thanks,  Andy

Hi Andy
On the older Tecumseh engines the numbers were usually stamped on the top of the shroud right along the front edge. (standing behind the blower)
 If it has electric start the numbers are probably hidden by the starter button. If it's mounted on top of the engine like a lot of them are.
You'll have to remove the two screws and move it out of the way to see the numbers.
