Tecumseh engine --= no spark
|
This is on an old Ariens snow blower. I think I may have to pull the flywheel to get to the points for this job: is it a long deal, do I need a wheel puller? Anyone know of an online diagram?

check to make sure there is good connection between the mag and the posts it sits on. also check for rust between the platesof the coil. |

Re: Tecumseh engine --= no spark

I'm also trying to get a spark on my Tecumseh H60. I am ready to replace the points and the condenser, but it looks like the points are attached to a wire terminal via a strip of metal. I can't find any way to remove the terminal or the metal strip from the points. Has anyone seen this also?
I inherited an old Ariens snowblower that wasn't working. i tracked the problem to a broken valve spring cap, which I replaced. I cleaned up the whole engine including cleaning and resetting the points, put it back together, and tried to start it but no spark. I'm ready to replace the points if I can figure out how to remove them with this metal strip.
Thanks |

Tecumseh points are on a 2 piece stamped steel hinge mechanism. They don't remove from the terminal, that's a part of them. Get the new pieces (the replacement points and cond. ) and you'll see.
There is one screw and one nut holding the points in. The screw is on one half of the hinge mechanism the points live on. The bolt is the wiring terminal bolt. remove both of those, remove the condenser bolt, and all will pull straight out, in the direction of the shaft.
Unless someone has jury rigged something.... |
