Connecting fuel line Tecumseh engine
Original Message   Sep 11, 2008 12:37 pm
I am a newbie so thanks for any help. I have a Tecumseh OHH55 (new model# OH195EA) four cycle engine, which is on my chipper schredder. I have a question about where the fuel lines connect. I see where the hose from the tank to the carb goes, and I can see where the hose from the carb goes out, but I don't know where it connects to the engine. I need to change that hose because it is all cracked and falling apart.

I purchased the Tecumseh technician handbook, and have an operator's manual, but believe it or not neither specify or diagram where this hose connects from and to.

So if anyone can tell I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ernie

  let me get this correct.  you are looking for a spot on the engine itself where the rubber fuel line "should" connect .  it doesnt work that way.  the fuel line connects to the carb and the carb connects to the intake maniflod the intake manifold connects to the engine.   the fuel line comes out of the gas tank, takes a turn and then is routed thru the blower housing, behind the flywheel and out the other side of blower housing, which then connects to the carburator,  which ...... see above.

Sorry for the bad description. There is a 2nd rubber hose that is connected to a 2nd nipple on the carb (this is not the fuel line hose connection between the fuel tank and the carb), and I cannot see where the other end of that hose connects to. Or what function it performs. It comes out of the lower portion of the carb.

Thanks,

Ernie
