  • Can I put a little bit of oil in the cylinder to get an old engine started for the first time in over ten years?

  • @MrKylebaker31 yes you can

  • @donyboy73 What kind of oil?

  • @MrKylebaker31 if it's a 2 stroke use 2 cycle oil, if it's a 4 stroke then use sae 30 or 5w30, just a few drops will suffice

  • my 5hp tecumseh will only start when it has been primed like crazy. i dont think the priming bulb is oem because it does not have a knub in the middle like my other tecuemseh. it has good spark and runs fine one it is started. i may need to put a carb kit on it.

  • @BlackMtnPowersports yes a carb kit would be a good idea to replace
