Terry M-(Moderator) 2,125 #26 Posted May 19, 2012 ezz start was the mag and point assembly. I thought that the e-z start referred to the compression release on the valve. They put in a small cam off the crankshaft to interfeer with and keep the valve slightly open when starting. (This I learned the hard way ) I'm not really sure myself, but alot of what I here leans twards it referred to the solid state ignition. a former co-worker said he believed it just to be a "buzz" word that tecumseh used. :confusion-shrug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wheelhorse656 20 #28 Posted May 19, 2012 The ezz start reffers to mag and points assymbly it was sort of a buzz word considering all of them had except for soild state ignition engines. They did not use compression release 7hp and below..... this engine does not have soild state if it has ezz. If you dont trust my word take the shrould off and the flywheel and it will say ezz start on the points cover..... Trust me I know my tecumsehs i have rebuilt alot of them and own(ed) quite a few...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing your stuff in your grandpa's new barn. I'll be digging into my engine soon and I'm curious what things are going to look like. I'll let you know what I find. I'm still really interested about these decals and what was on what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
