I am getting excited as I approach a time when I can start her up.
Did you do anything to the Tecumseh engine?
I have an H30 Tecumseh badged as a Kirby that I've stripped. I was thinking of starting a rebuild thread about it, with lots of photos, in one of the engine forums, but I don't know whether it would be of use as these engines seem to be universally reviled. I've also managed to source a workshop manual and a small supply of consumables (gaskets, seals etc.) from the US.
