Amcwheel85 2,059 #1 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Just picked up this Tecumseh H30 to replace the dead H60 my new to me suburban 550( aka killer ) had on it. $50 and it says 3.0hp but it's built as it was a race cart engine. Runs awesome... It also fits better. Didn't have time to finish it today but soon! Edited August 17, 2016 by Amcwheel85 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amcwheel85 2,059 #3 Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks! That's one reason why my wife and daughter named it killer! And also the guy I bought it from told me he had been pronounced dead 2 times last year so o tell ppl I bought it from a dead guy! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,643 #4 Posted August 17, 2016 A racing cart engine would have a modified governor for high rpm. How fast you planning on mowing? Better install a seat belt and wheelie bars.... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,809 #12 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Amcwheel85 Looks good fits right in there nicely. Just a point if you like to blend in painted parts that look like it`s been there Try Heritage Red buy Krylon It blends in with old paint well try it on a old engine shroud or some part. to see if like it. When you are 5' away looks good. Edited August 19, 2016 by T1257 RETIRED WRENCHER. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
