If you have the same 8 HP Tecumseh engine that I do then if you look at the the engine, squat down so that you are looking at the recoil starter, then look for a label on the left side of the shroud (cover) down low and you should find the model number of the engine. Record that number and send it to me so I can check it. After I check it I will tell you what website to go to in order to order it or how to get the part number so your local small engine repair shop can order it for you. You can also just take the engine model number to the local small engine repair shop and tell them what you want to order and they should be able to get it for you.

If you go directly to the local shop, I hope you get it going soon.

CARB NOT GETTING FUEL.......STARTS WHEN PURGED...BUT DIES OUT !!

Since I don't have info on your machine, I'll just give some general ideas. If your machine has a fuel pump check it to see if it's working. Take off fuel line from carb to see if pump is pumping fuel. Check fuel filter. The problem may be clogged/ dirty carb. Use carb cleaner spray into carb throat , and approx. 1/3 can of carb cleaner into fuel tank.

Will not start. It is 3 years old and has not been used for about 6 months. When starter is pulled, the engine ratate, but does not seem t fire on any of the strokes.

You need to go over this machine thoroughly, disassemble carb and give it a full cleaning. Remove gas tank and clean thoroughly. Replace plug, change oil, new air filter the works! It should be fine after a little TLC, Good Luck and have fun!

Need owners manual for 2001 yard machine chipper schredder model #24A464B131

I have a operator's manual for 24a 463b129 5.5 hp. I also have an operator's manual for the engine (Tecumseh). I purchased the chipper new from Home Depot back in 2002. I think you will be disappointed at the lack of information. If still interested, e-mail me your e-mail address, and I can send you a PDF copy of these manuals. ([email protected])

I want to change the oil on my Yard Machines snow thrower with a 10hp Tecumseh engine and can't find the engine manual. What kind and how much oil should I use? Thanks - Zelmo

Zelmo use 10w30 weight oil and just put in enough to reach the full mark. In an air cooled engine I highly recommend you use Full Synthetic oil. It performs much better than conventional oil in an air cooled engine. Change the oil once a year.

Yardman Chipper/Shredder won't run

I had this same problem after letting the machine sit for a couple of years with gas in it. What finally solved it for me was taking the screw out of the bottom of the carburetor bowl and cleaning it. I mean clean it. Carburetor cleaner or some other solvent helps but you've got to get the gunk out of that screw. It probably has an obvious "feed" that runs across the bottom part of the screw shaft. The "feed" that runs from this up to the carb is the tricky part. I needed something very fine and finally settled on a combination of strands of wire from a lamp cord. Try two or three strands twisted together and work it up and down with some carburetor cleaner.
