I took a chance, popped for one and I gotta say how great my little HH-60 is running now. These carbs are well made, and fully adjustable too, but no need, that thing purred like a kitten straight out of the box. Plus, they got them priced so cheap now...it's not even worth messing around rebuilding, then tuning one anymore. Seems there may be no excuse for a poorly running Techy with carb issues anymore. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 500 #6 Posted January 12, 2014 I bought one of those about a year ago. No problems so far but I did have to file the intake end flat to get the air filter to seal properly. I know its not critical but I'm anal about seals and filtration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,490 #7 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Craig: I bought one when I first saw them advertised as they were half the price of the Tecumseh carb and I needed one. I have had no issues with it running well in two years! They are made well. Edited January 12, 2014 by Lane Ranger 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #8 Posted January 12, 2014 I see some listed on Ebay as being sold directly coming out of China, selling for $26 now. Looks like the same carb I bought was sold by outdoorpowerdeals.com, I think I paid $28 and change, free shipping. The company is located in Kansas, United States, in the box contained a flyer stating... 100% satisfaction guaranteed, money back if not satisfied for any reason, worth the couple extra bucks to me. If you go to their sellers page, they have listed a bunch for other engines too, nicely priced as well. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,534 #10 Posted January 12, 2014 Probably the best way to go. I have seen countless posts here about guys rebuilding their old techumseh carb and having it still not run right after its re-installed. Mike.......... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #11 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) It is discouraging Mike...putting off the process because it's such the PITA, and having your tractor down the whole time. Then to get kicked in the when you reinstall it and it's still leaking. Plug and play, is the way to go. Edited January 12, 2014 by AMC RULES 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,675 #12 Posted January 13, 2014 I would say that most of the problems with the techy carb and cleaning it and still not running right is the fact that you can not get to the place the carb clogs up just taking it apart and soaking it will not clean the low speed passage which is the place 90% of them clog up you have to remove a brass plug from the carb body to gain access there is a small metal rod in this passage also.with the bass plug removed you can get the metal rod out and use a pipe cleaner and spray carb cleaner on the passage way to clean it a fast check to tell if you have a clogged low speed passage is with the carb off the tractor remove the jets, bowl ,float, needle hold the carb body next you your ear and shake it up and down you should hear a clink of the small metal rod moving back and forth in it's passage way if it does not the passage way is clogged up Brian 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 759 #13 Posted January 13, 2014 Good to know there is an alternative out there, but for me, I'll stick it out with the ole Series 1 Carb and hang on to the NOS spare parts for it. The refreshed '72' H60 it's bolted to still starts on the 2nd pull and doesn't miss a beat........... That's on a Walk behind Tiller by the way .....so don't ask for a Pic of it when I found it.

chazm 412 #14 Posted August 10, 2014 Bringing this subject back up ... Has anybody seen one of these carbs for a HH100 ??? I've seen them on fleebay for HM100 , nothing for HH100 except OEM. They look like they will bolt up, just not sure on performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,547 #15 Posted August 10, 2014 I got one for the HM100 on a Coleman Powermate generator. It works great, just like the ones for the smaller Techys. Pretty sure you are correct about it bolting right up. It's worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,906 #16 Posted August 10, 2014 If your going to get a carb, get it from the US instead of one direct from China. Even if it costs more. Otherwise you may be in for a long wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They look like they will bolt up, just not sure on performance Chas, If you do go for one of these for your HH100, let me know how it works as my brother in law has a HH100 with a worn out carb(throttle shaft) and this would be an easy fix for him.

km3h 543 #24 Posted August 18, 2014 I put one on my Generator with the HH100 engine. Started the first pull. I run it once a moth to make sure everything is good. It still fires on the first pull every time. I paid $22.00 on EBay. Shipped from China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
