Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): torque on head gasket, tecumseh engine, torque specification


Question
John,
      Could you tell me the torque setting for bolts to bolt down head gasket on a Tecumseh HS 50-67074C engine?
      Also is there a setting on the points and if so what are they?

               Thank You,
               Bob Strike

Answer
Hello Bob:

The Point Set is Gapped at .020in. Be Sure the Point Set Plunger is Fully Extended when Gapping the Point Set. Since this is a Tecumseh Engine, I have 2 PDF Site Addys that May Assist you Also. They are; 1- http://www.tecumsehpower.com/CustomerService/BSI.pdf and 2- http://www.cpdonline.com/692509.pdf The #2 Site has the Torque Specification Chart for your Engine. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
