Tecumseh elect start issue
#1   Jan 7, 2009 8:21 pm
Hi there, always fire up my snowblower using the electric start.  Tried yesterday, and got a whine from the starter, repeatedly.  Felt around the starter and to my surprise its loose. In fact one bolt already fell out & is missing and the top screw is loose.  Hoping to simply replace the missing bolt and tighten up the rest and hopefully the starter will fire.  The problem is what type of bolt fits the starter housing.  Tried the Tecumseh site but it has no schematic showing type/size of bolt.

Got this info from the starter:  Tecumseh 12205  120V 15 amp  33329D

As always, appreciate the advice.

Thanks for all the suggestions & advice.  I did find the correct yr & model, 1977  524 model.  MacLorry27, I tried  downloading the manual without success, that said any suggestions where a no-charge one is available.

Thanks all,

Hi there, cleaned out my parents garage and came across an old snowblower, probably 20 years old.  Its a Toro 5hp, 24",electric start, 4 stroke, all red. Could not get a model # off the engine. Want to fire it up, however don't have oil capacity or specs for a replacement plug.  Looking for a manual or info to start this process.  Appreciate any advice.
