SECTION 2. GENERAL CARBURETOR INFORMATION
CARBURETOR IDENTIFICATION. Tecumseh
carburetors are identified by a model number and
code date stamping on the carburetor as illustrated.
When servicing carburetors, use the engine model
number or the model number on the carburetor and
proper section in the Master Parts Manual or Microfiche
Catalog for proper service information.
These carburetors are used on some HH80-100-
120 and VH80-100 engines.
This carburetor is used on the Overhead Valve engine
12, 14, 16 & 18 horsepower.
FLOAT-FEED CARBURETORS. Float-feed carburetors
use a hollow metal float to maintain the operating
level of fuel in the carburetor. As the fuel is used,
the fuel level in the carburetor bowl drops and the
float moves downward. This actuates the inlet needle
valve, to allow fuel to flow by gravity into the fuel
bowl. As the fuel level in the bowl again rises, it
raises the float. This float motion adjusts the fuel
flow at the proper rate and keeps the fuel at the
proper mixture level.
