Tecumseh H40 mounting issue
Original Message   Jun 19, 2006 7:25 pm
I am trying to mount an old Techumseh h-40 to an old rupp minibike frame. I have a question regarding the angle at which the motor will sit. It will not be completely level, it will be at a tilt where the carb side will be about an inch or two higher than the opposite side. I am wondering.. does anyone know if this will be a problem as far as oil circulation? There must be a factory spec, as far as what is the highest degree of tilt allowed when mounting these engines. I have searced the web and found nothing. any help would save me a lot of healing.

Thanks in advance

70Chevrolet.

   i   dont think there is goingto be a carb issue.  you have a diaphragm carb,  these can be ran at any angle.

That carb in the picture is not my carb... I have the standard Tec bowl type...In theory, this should not work, but in the real world it works like magic.
