My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tecumseh MV100s mower

13 years ago

Hi All
Any Tecumseh masters out there. I have an old ALLEN mower fitted with a Tecumseh MV100s engine. It starts fine and runs for 30 secs (and sometimes a couple of minutes) then it falters and stalls. It starts up again fairly easy (on full choke) and the whole process repeats. I have checked the spark (good) and stripped and cleaned the carb (delorto fhc 2013a ) made no difference - even changed the carb for a known working one (no difference). Anyone any ideas on what to check next? Could it be the magneto gap or the magneto breaking down under pressure? Any help or suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers
Graham
