Maintenance Tips

Regular Oil Changes: Tecumseh engines benefit from regular oil changes, typically every 25-50 hours of operation. Use the oil type and viscosity recommended in your engine's owner's manual.
Air Filter Maintenance: Inspect and clean or replace your air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions. A clean air filter ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.
Spark Plug Inspection: Check your spark plug periodically for wear or fouling. Replace it as needed to maintain proper ignition and fuel efficiency.
Fuel System Care: Use fresh fuel and consider adding a fuel stabilizer, especially when storing equipment for extended periods. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor before long-term storage to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor clogging.
