looks identical to mine,which according to serial numbers on frame is a 1975. e-mail joy gilbertson, warranty service rep.  http@ariensweb.ariens.com  they should be able to tell you. would it be too much to ask for you to post a picture of the governor linkage and gov. spring. i could sure use it!

for anything you want to know about thig engine go to www.smallenginesuppliers.com. they have a complete service manual for all tecumseh horizontal shaft that you can download.. does sound like timing to me, if your engine is a h60 or h70 series, find top dead centre of piston, then turn crank back counter clockwise 7 degrees(looking fron ignition end of engine )remove the wires off the points, loosen the two bolts holding the breaker plate, connect a ohmmeter. one lead to the motor frame the other to the poihts(where you previosly remover wires) slowly move the breaker plate until the meter drops to 0 ohms and tighten the breaker plate bolts. this shoud get you very close  ps. if your motor is a h70 orh60 series, can you tell me where the governor spring attaches to carb?  hope is helps good luck   colin
