Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman mower engine ID, sears craftsman, horizontal shaft


Question
I have a rear throw Sears Craftsman 3 hp reel mower model# 536-373730.  I am trying to identify what engine is on it so I can rebuild the carb.  The Sears model number for the engine is 143751022.  I know it is Tecumseh horizontal shaft of some sort.  Any ideas?

Answer
Hello Nathan:

>>The Carburetor should have the OEM Name and Model Numbers on it.
>>After Viewing the Breakdown at the Sears Direct Site; it Looks like this Carburetor is a Tillotson Pulse Jet Carburetor.
>>Sears Sells a Repair Kit (part #631893A ($10.65)) for this Carburetor.
