Know where a timing procedure for a Tecumseh HH60 can be found?
w4zdj
email me direct I have the factory manual for the 6hp Tecumseh (that's the
tiller that I have).
Good Tilling,Sam

removed the "distributor" to replace the coil and didn't mark the
position of the plate.
The engine starts but fails with a load put on it.
I've searched quite a bit around the net hoping to find some
documentation on a timing procedure for it. No luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

when you say disributor is that similar as to what is atached to a
motor car engine or was it more like a stator assembly installed under
or beside the flywheel.
i've worked a lot on tecumseh motors but only the ones fitted to normal
mowers, and would imagine that the bigger motors may have similar
setups, as they do with briggs and stratton engines.
just that you mentioned a plate, if it is a stator plate under the
flywheel in some cases there is room for some adjustment i have always
set them on full advance which is to turn the stator to is full
adjustment anti clockwise or opposite the rotation of the motor, this
always gave good performance for my customers.
i doubt but that no matter where this plate is set that it would cause
power performance problems like you mention, those problems could be
other things, like did you replace the points and condenser (if the
motor uses a mechanical ignition system)
load failing can also be carby adjustment.

coil air gap is --- not listed - hmmm. Let me check the text. Not
familiar with the HH series, worked more on the TVS, TNT, and LAV engines.
The manual is too general - but breaker gap is listed .020.
Hope this is helpful. Been a while since I worked on these little monsters.

Yeah, that's why I put it in quotes. It's a distributor, but a very
simple one. It's under the flywheel, which makes for a hassle to make
adjustments particularly with the engine guard I added which has to be
nearly removed to allow for the wheel puller.

That's what I thought. There's not all that much adjustment range to
the timing.

The points & cond. are relatively new. I reset the gap to .020".

The machine is 26 years old and the carb may be the original.

Thanks for your opinion, Len.

Thanks, Sam. I expect to be able to get ahold of a service manual this
coming week.There's a TB store near me in Portland but they are closed
today.
I posted the message hoping someone knew of a website that had the
service manual in PDF or something.
I agree, it does seem like a fuel/air problem.
Thanks,

PS How's that cable modem service working out? I just got something
working today I've been trying to get for years. I can now connect to
the net with my portable PC (old HP Omnibook 800) via my cell phone. I
recently got a PCS phone (Qualcomm 2700) that supports an albeit slow
(10K) digital connect through the serial port. It's too slow for
general web surfing, but fine for email, NGs and web browsing with
graphics turned off.

manuals from my teenage days of small engine repair. Dang, it's going on 2
decades since I was breaking knuckles tuning up middle-class softys' mowers
and snowblowers.
Cable modem is working out great, thanks.

If it is only a set of points riding on a cam, then it is just a set of
points. If however it has a rotor that turns, directing the spark to
the different cylinders, that is a distributor. One cylinder engines
don't need a distributor.

my advice turn it to full advance and leave it at that.

how about the condenser it is best to replace it with the points each
time they are needed, it can break down under load, i always found it
better to replace than test it.

the carb's are fairly uncomplicated it could be a blockage of some sort
or incorrect float level. is the air filter in good serviceable
condition they can play havoc.

engine. There is a loosely attached return spring on the throttle linkage
which appears to control the amount of adjustment to the carburetor from a
change in vacuum. Obviously I don't known squat, but when this small spring
came loose I had exactly the symptoms you describe.

Ooops. I shoulda posted that I got the technical service manual a
couple days ago.
