kudzu3 323 #1 Posted June 28, 2015 Can someone please provide a picture of the front of the hh100 engine? When I got the tractor, it wasn't running right, so I got a new carb and discovered that someone, at some time, had put the tin behind the carb on the outside of the main cooling tin, leaving an air space behind the carb. I put it back as it should be (I think), with the right side under the main cooling tin. Now the carb is too close to the engine, with the plug wire not allowing the choke to work, also the nut that goes on the right side of the carb stud doesn't have room to go on the stud. The carb is the correct one, with the same dimensions as the original. I simply don't know where I went wrong, or why things are so off . If someone could provide me with a close pic of the carb area on this engine, I would certainly appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,004 #2 Posted June 28, 2015 I don't have an engine to get a pic from but if you post a pic of yours, maybe we can see what's going on and possibly help out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,191 #3 Posted June 29, 2015 Just brought this home from the show so I am not sure it is set up correctly but it runs. Had to reroute the choke cable, seems to be too short. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheeledhorseman 573 #4 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Not sure if this schematic helps you at all ......Looks like carb - gasket - tin - gasket - block.Andy Edited June 29, 2015 by wheeledhorseman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kudzu3 323 #5 Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks all, I think I can make it work. My carb is just different, but can't find one the same as the original. I just removed the end of the choke lever to stop the contact with the plug wire and was able to get clearance for the throttle. The only problem now is getting clearance for the right side nut holding the carb, but I'll figure out something. pfrederi, your pics really helped, thanks.

Brian01 481 #6 Posted July 1, 2015 I have a hh100, would get you pics but its raining right now....I need a coil for mine...or sale it or trade it for a 10hp or larger Kohler. I can't see giving $200 for a coil when you could buy a complete running motor for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #7 Posted July 1, 2015 Mine has an aluminum "wedge" in between the carb and engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,978 #8 Posted July 2, 2015 As Brian01 said, some Tec. carbs have a spacer between the carb and the block. One I worked on had a spacer about 3/8" thick. Good luck. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
