Gregor 4,847 #1 Posted February 18, 2021 @Tractorhead, or anyone with a 656. The next time you are out horsing around, could you please snap a pic of the throttle and governor linkage on on Tecumseh? I would like to see just how it is supposed to be hooked up. Not sure mine is right. Thanks Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no hurry at all. Next week, next month..... I'm not going anywhere. Edited February 19, 2021 by Gregor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,209 #5 Posted February 19, 2021 Didn‘t forgot you... here the promised Detail Picts. Firstly all off( idle) no choke 3/4 throttle no choke full throttle no choke Throttle idle choke at half throttle idle choke at full carb bowl screw complete in ( carefully) than 2 1/4 turns out and mine starts also at 5*F with little over half pulled choke. After a Engineoil change to 15W30 no Exhaust fumes further except little blue on the first 5 sec. At temps under 15*F but the blue smoke on throttle up is history. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregor 4,847 #6 Posted February 19, 2021 Thank You. I am trying to hook mine up exactly as yours. Mine was not at all like that when I got this motor, but that doesn't surprise me. A while back someone posted about a special Z bending pliers for choke and throttle cables. I ordered a pair. Every time I use them, it snaps my wire in two. I tried heating it up to red hot. Worked until I tried to install it, then it snapped. Now my cable is too short. I have ordered a new governor spring, and now am on my way for a new control cable. Thanks for the pics. My 656 stays in a 70 degree heated garage BTW. Toasty warm, starts right up. Thanks again for the pics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,209 #8 Posted February 20, 2021 @Gregor I use simple pliers for that. my „trick“ to bent is do it gently slow. so maybe you work in too much hektik 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
