One of the Best Ways to Fix a TEC Engine Original Message Feb 5, 2011 4:30 pm
If you have problems with a TEC engine not starting or running like Cr@p after repairing it 20 timesand spent hundreds of dollars on parts and labor. My suggestion unbolt the 4 nuts that hold the engineon the snowblower and get yourself a new Honda Clone engine or even better if you can find a nice used Honda GX270 engine and you will have the best running Snowbloweryou have ever owned. It may even out-perform the over engineered Honda Snowblowers.

Like Borat I never change a plug I inspect it once a season clean it lube the threads with a drop of engine oil and re--Install. I will only change a plug if the outside of the body is rusty. I have only seen 1 plug fail and that was in a 3 year old Honda powered lawnmower.
