There should be number stamped into the fan shroud, usually near the top but could be else where on the shroud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimdad85 12 #27 Posted September 28, 2021 Oh thats awesome, thank you. The big heavy duty push buttun would go in the dash where it says starter then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #28 Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Look on the bottom of the regulator..is there a terminal there? There are 3 and 4 terminal regulators either can work for you 4 terminal the one on the bottom goes to A on the Genny. F to Field , B to battery and L to the lights /lighter 3 terminal one will be F goes to F on genny, one will be Gen (or G) goes to A on genny, One will be B battery goes to + on battery Edited September 28, 2021 by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can install a "big heavy duty button" to start your motor, but you are still going to need some way to shut it off. A key switch would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimdad85 12 #37 Posted September 28, 2021 There is a plunger style switch on/off labeled ignition in the wires seem to run inside the motor which I would assume would be for the coil I believe that is some sort of kill switch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimdad85 12 #39 Posted September 28, 2021 Cheeseballs make a great carb cleaner...everyone knows this. I believe i have a stuck valve🙄. Motor turns freely by hand so far each direction..then "stops" dont want to force it..creeping oil down spark hole and wait..any other ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimdad85 12 #41 Posted September 28, 2021 Well I have good news and bad news was able to get the motor to turn several rotations using the flywheel and some love valves both up open and close but when I pass the tight spot there's a very tight high pitched squeak there is oil in the crankcase I don't know if that's a flat spot on a bearing or what you think that might be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #42 Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Looks like a big mouse nest in the hole for the fuel line in the air shroud. You have a Sears engine made by Tecumseh. HH100 I would think. Could be solid state ignition be careful. I will have to look up some stuff. Edited September 28, 2021 by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimdad85 12 #43 Posted September 28, 2021 Well I'm glad to hear it's a Tecumseh I grew up with uncles and grandparents telling me it's got to have a Tecumseh Jim. Valves are not stuck so that's good just jump to the armature post on the starter motor and we have nice good rotation spools right up and then also I jumped my positive lead to the field post as I was told in the forum and immediately the motor slowed right down instead of just coasting freely so that's another part of the mystery solved we're getting somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walnut shells could tear up a coil, or stator pretty quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimdad85 12 #46 Posted September 28, 2021 It does not turn freely enough to determine that..its a pretty good stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #47 Posted September 28, 2021 Be very careful the wire that goes to eh dash switch is probably a kill wire for the SSI. DO NOT apply any power to it that would destroy the SSI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #48 Posted September 28, 2021 Before you go too far you should take a look at this service manual. Techy ignitons are fickle and fragile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregor 4,838 #49 Posted September 28, 2021 I looked at that manual. I could not find any corresponding numbers to identify the engine. Maybe because it was made for Sears? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimdad85 12 #50 Posted September 28, 2021 So the wires for "ignition" one went to battery and the other grounds behind the shroud with a wire running to the wierd bog thing .coil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
