Re: New engine replacement for Simplicity 724 with Tecumseh H70

Chris- The 524 I am working on has the original 5hp in working condition so no replacement is necessary. I don't know if the replacement Tec. OHV has the tapped holes for the belt guides. I would suggest you call SEW and ask. Most blower engines I have seen have a # of tapped bolt "receptacles " as it is pretty standard fare to have belt guides on most every machine. I am curious as to what you mean when you say the starter faces forward. If you mean the direction you pull the rope is forward that is easily changed as was pointed out by Friiy in a previous post. As he pointed out all you need do is rotate the pull starter assembly to a position favoring your installation. Marc |

Chris may be speaking of the old Paddle wheel model 724. If you are standing in the operators position the output shaft is 90 degrees to the left instead of facing forward. The pull starter pulls towards the handle bars on the right . I'm not sure about the direction of rotation but I believe it's CCW. If you used a conventionally configured blower engine to repower the pull starter would be facing to the right side of the machine.Smalll Engine Warehouse has a 7hp ohv Tecumseh Snow engine with a 3/4 shaft of the proper length . The head will also tilt to the back and the muffler will face the back but may work. . The price I believe is $240. I am currently restoring a similar 524 which is the same frame smaller engine.

Re: 8hp briggs oil overflowing

hi marc, thanks for your reply. given the position of my carb relative to the crank would the gas stll flow up into it? my carb does leak if i don't shut off the gas...it drips from the bottom of the bowl. appreciate your help. rob 
Rob- Friiy is right. I don't see how the fuel could get that "high" up in such volume to contaminate the oil/ raise the volume of the oil. The gasoline smell in the oil could come from worn rings/valves/guides but the over fill condition escapes me unless you accidently over filled it.
Is there any signs of fuel in the air stack? Marc

Seabird- Sounds like the float needle/seat on the carb is not shutting off the fuel flow when the bowl is filled and fuel is overflowing into the crank case. Does the tank have a shut off valve? If so make sure to close it to stop the fuel flow. You also need to drain the oil out completely as it is fuel contaminated and isn't doing that engine any good. The problem with the carb can be anything from a porous float to a gunked up needle/ seat or a worn out needle and seat. Sounds like a candidate for a carb rebuild with a full kit including the float. Marc |
