I have found that many Tecumseh engines are very similar and use the

manual, you need the Tecumseh manual. Get the model and serial number
off the engine and search for that manual. I have purchased rebuild kits
and even a replacement carb recently as they are still available --
Tecumseh went bankrupt a few years ago!

I didn't know that Tecumseh went out of business, that's too bad!

As concerning parts availability and such, they didn't make their own
carbs, instead utilizing carbs made by other companies (like Walbro or
Carter). Fortunately, rebuild kits are available for all manner of
parts on a Tec, from the cab down to the points, and likely still will
be for the indefinite future.

I sure hope so. There are many of their engines still in use.
I spent hours searching for my engine, online and cant find it. I even
used another search engine since google continues to get worse. The
model is a Tecumseh H550 87266G I am not even finding the H550 part.
Just some that have H35 and HHxxx, etc. I did find a generic sort of
manual that has some carb settings listed, so I'll see if that helps.
