Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumseh carb rebuild kit, kit numbers, replacement job


Question
There are many sites that sell rebuild kits - with all kinds of kit numbers.  Can you tell me what kit number I would be looking for for engine model 143.986716(OHV 6.75)?  I have to continue pressing the primer button when starting from cold to keep the engine running. After it finally starts running, it runs great.  When re-starting after the engine is warmed up, it starts just fine also.  Does this sound like a carb rebuild job or maybe just a primer button replacement job?

Answer
If i was doing this i would replace the complete carb assy.  Part Number 640272A   Approx 70.USD   

The kit you need is 632760B

These are Tecumseh parts you can obtain from most local dealers or you can order from Sears online.
