Adjusting Tecumseh Engine Ignition Points
Preparation
- Disconnect the spark plug for safety.
- Remove the flywheel to access the ignition points. On some models, it may also be necessary to remove the cover or other protections to access the mechanism.
Locating the Ignition Points
The ignition points (contact breakers) are usually located under the flywheel. Once removed, you will see a housing that contains the points.
Positioning the Piston
Turn the flywheel until the piston is in the "before top dead center" (BTDC) position, where the point gap is at its maximum.
Adjusting the Gap
- Using a feeler gauge, set the ignition point gap to approximately 0.020 inches (0.5 mm).
- Loosen the breaker point screws and adjust until you achieve this gap.
- Tighten the screws while holding the points in position.
Checking the Timing
If necessary, slightly adjust the position of the points to ensure proper timing. Turn the flywheel to observe the points' firing synchronization, generally just before the piston reaches the BTDC.
Reassembling the Engine
- Replace the flywheel and properly tighten the securing nut.
- Reconnect the spark plug.
Final Check
Start the engine to ensure that the adjustment is correct. A proper ignition point adjustment will result in smooth starting and optimal engine performance.
