Tecumseh engine ID help needed

[Horse'n Around 22]

I picked up a old Tecumseh engine a couple of weeks ago. The tag on the shroud says the model number is 143-571072,the serial number is 7087 and there is another number with no description which is 09254.For the most part it looks like the 3 1/2 HP Tecumseh that I had on my Rupp mini bike(I wish I still had that thing) but it has a diaphram carb and the muffler mounts on the side of the block rather than next to the carburator.

Does anyone know what I have? I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks,

John

I bet thats a Sears part #. They used a lot of Tec motors on their older power equipment and tractors.

The number is a Sears number (143.571072), the engine is an H30 Tecumseh, and the manual for it is here:
