Test run of Tecumseh HM80 with my "new to me" Tillotson HL-360 carb.
I purchased the carb from a gentleman in England a couple
of weeks ago. It was setup for a 2 stroke engine and because of some
"modifications" and i'll have to replace the throttle shaft / lever.
During my first tests, after a couple of pulls on the starter to
build fuel pressure, i noticed it was flooding out...no wonder as
the carbs throttle plate was completely closed by default and not allowing
any air fuel mixture to enter the intake. I overcame this by manually
opening the throttle slightly and she starts!. I've contacted Tillotson
and sourced a replacement throttle shaft / lever, once its installed,
carb tuned,and i've worked out a bracket for the linkage all should be
good. Exhaust used is a 4 inch long 1' diameter straight pipe - LOUD lol
Thats my daughter Laura workin the ipod...she's also my reserve driver lol
