D. Carburetor
If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your
nearest Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer.
Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up
to 7,000 feet (2,134 meters). For operation at higher
elevations, contact an Authorized TecumsehPower
Servicing Dealer.
E. Alternator (Optional)
For alternator related electrical problems such as:
• Inoperative Starter

• Fuse Replacement
• Alternator Maintenance/Repairs
See your equipment manufacturer’s instructions and an
Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer.
F. Engine Speed
To avoid serious injury or death,
DO NOT modify engine in any way.
Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway
engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. NEVER
tamper with factory setting of engine governor.
Running the engine faster than the speed set at the factory
can be dangerous and will
VOID THE ENGINE WARRANTY.
G. Removing Snow from Engine
After each use, remove snow from the areas listed. See
Figure 52 on page 23. Afterward, continue reading
instructions below.
• Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick
• Fuel Fill Cap
• Recoil Starter/Flywheel Screen
• Linkage
• Guards
• Spark Plug Connection (If visible).
• Electric Starter Switch Box, if present (see
equipment manufacturer’s instructions).
See "A. Engines with Electric Starters" instructions
on page 10. Afterward, continue reading
instructions below.
NOTES
See equipment manufacturer’s instructions for proper
location of fuel fill cap and control lever.
Removing snow will ease operation of the recoil starter rope
and reduce the risk of water contamination when opening
fuel fill cap.
For more information about recoil starters see
"B. Engines with Recoil Starters" instructions on page 13.
VIII. Transporting Your Engine
NEVER transport this engine inside
another vehicle or in any enclosed
space if there is any gasoline in the tank. Fuel vapor or
spilled fuel may ignite leading to serious injury or death.
If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close the fuel shut-off valve,
if equipped, and transport the engine upright in an open
vehicle, such as an open trailer or open bed of a pickup
truck.
If you DO NOT have an open vehicle and have to transport
the engine upright in a closed vehicle, follow these steps
for emptying the fuel tank before transporting:
1. Empty fuel tank by using a commercially available
suction device designed for use with gasoline.
To avoid serious injury or death, DO
NOT pour fuel from engine or siphon
fuel by mouth.
2. Drain fuel into an approved red GASOLINE container,
being careful to avoid spilling.
3. Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed.
NEVER leave the engine unattended
when it is running and NEVER run
engine in enclosed areas to avoid death or serious injury.
