Spit, Sputter, Cough,Blemph

These are the sounds issued forth from my beloved Tecumseh engines equipped with fixed Jets. I don't own one but my friend does on a machine I recomended and he constantly rags me about it. In an effort to get him off my back I have researched the following and these are the results: 1) The replacement carb for a medium frame Tecumseh is 632334A ( this is a part # that replaces a disontinued part but the blow up diagram of the replacement shows an adjustable main jet. Therefore I ASSUME it is adjustable. 2) The carburetor repair kit for this model is 632347 I was able to secure a blowup diagram of this carb and the list of parts in the repair kit. It APPEARS all of the main jet parts are present in the kit.I NEED VERIFICATION If this includes the needle and the jet. If one were to remove the fixed jet from the current carb which I believe is the green plastic tube held in by O-rings and replace it with the adjustable jet and needle from the #632347 repair kit would it work? Could you retrofit the new bowl with the adjustable assembly or would you have to buy a new bowl? If anybody could verify or correct my assumptions I would be most appreciative. Marc Just for the record -theHonda GX series engine on my power washer made the same spit, sputter,cough,blemph sounds due to it's fixed jet carb. Honda has addressed this problem by producing a line of altitude related jets. Another words if you want to richen up a Honda fixed jet carb parts are available. The carb will still be fixed jet but at a richer setting.

if you look at the bore and stroke ,some have smaller bore with same stroke and still have same displacement. its not quite right to me. there is a note in the fiche cards about pistons,you have to measure old one to get correct replacement,there is up to 1/4 inch difference in diameter on same size engines. later chris Yeah, that Tecumseh 11 hp OHV engine seems like a weird one. It shows it as a 318cc engine, the same displacement as an 8 & 9 hp. The horse power and torque charts these retailers show on their websites must be different from the microfiche cards. Every chart I've seen shows differences between engines. An 8 hp l-head has a nice upward swing from 2,400-3000 RPM's, than starts to drop off as RPM is increased. The 10 hp l-head peaks at 2,400 and drops off as RPM increases. I'd go by the microfiche cards if it was a toss-up between the two. This is too confusing  . Still, a great way to keep the consumer off balance.

Down shifting has less to do with horsepower and more to do with a multiplication of torque. Not anything like a govenor.
You are correct Rob.
I was just using this example in that way to better see how no matter what happens the govenor trys to keep the RPM of the engine the same. Some of the concepts don't get understood, and or not explained well.. cause they inter-mingle and it is confusing . In this case I am sure it is my fault

. If an engine is constantly running in the 2800 RPM range because of the amount of snow, you either need to push less snow at a time or need more engine.
It doesn't run there constantly it picks up and maintains at a higher rpm. within an instant The drop is only noticable with a tac. With your ear when you are running it it seem's like the govenor kicks in seamlessly and without a tac you could easily think your engine is running faster cause of the sound of the engine woking under increased throttle. The governor hardly ever kicks on this machine cept for starting point in deep heavy stuff. Without a tac would not know there was that much rpm loss. so if it is not suppose to work tat way maybe I do need to do a governor rod or spring adjustment.

No prob Marshall. It may be dipping lil too low on initial impact. First thing I will try and do is put it at the center of recommender operating RPM which is stated at 3600 plus or minus 150. It is running at 3450 which is min but ok, and bein it is new I decided to leave it alone for awhile. so that min could affect the initial hit onthe governor assist. Didn't spell that all out before as was trying to save keystrokes. Ben07
