Tecumseh HSK850 engine info needed
Original Message   Jan 16, 2011 2:12 pm
So I picked up a 1998 Craftsman single stage with the Tecumseh HSK850 engine.  I've got the thing all apart already to do some inspection/carb cleaning/adjustments. 

I did a compression test but it appears this engine might have some form of compression release.  Using the electric start, I had it registering around 95-100 psi.  Does that sound right?  Pulled the muffler off and the cylinder looks very good.  No indication of blow-by on the exhaust side and the rings look great.  No carbon build up and they're nice and free.  

Last question, does anyone have a link to a manual for this engine/snow blower.  Craftsman 5/21 approx. 14 years old.  Going back to work.  Got to clean the carb.
