My first tecumseh vlv

On a craftsman self propelled left at our scrap dropoff. Hope it wasn't run like this.

There is not even remote chance there is anything wrong with that engine or the Craftsman it is sitting. Should run great as it is. The ads I have seen it was running great the last time I used it comes to mind.

Sorry just had to say it. Yes it does look it in serious need of attention and you won't know how bad it is until you get to work on it. Here I don't even mess walk behinds any more since I can't seem to move them after repairs. Surely not going to sell a mower for $20 that I have installed $70 in parts on. I got about a 16 ft full of them now that is just going to recycle center in a few weeks.

If I can get running without major effort then I sell and the money less any part cost goes to the church since the dropoff is for it. I usually sell cheap because even $20 would be like 500 lbs of scrap.
