Engine Compression Release Question.....


Recommended Posts

Posted
I don't believe that AC or Simplicity used Tecumseh engines but hopefully someone can offer some ideas or comments.... I have a Tecumseh 16HP Overhead valve engine that is in good shape...except when I try to crank it over.....it cranks over barely enough to start....sometimes. I have replaced the starter, checked gear mesh on starter/ ring gear/ replaced cam w/ internal compression release/ added new battery 330 CCA/ new cables/ new solenoid/ new starter switch/ checked connections/ adjusted intake & exhaust valves lash per Tecumseh Spec's. (a whole bunch of times) . Still having cranking over problems. My question is-- how bout if I add a manual mechanical compression release like on motorcycles.....here is the website-- http://www.partsmag.com/0303/Compression-release-0303/Comp-Release1-0303.html Any ideas or comments appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

Have you checked what the compression is?
