Yessir... a Tecumseh build montage.
My grandfather's (may he rest in peace) mini bike had an HS40 on it, and after being gifted a near-new GX160 the well-worn Tec motor was shoved to the side.
I was planning on restoring the pitted, ancient engine when another post was talking about built HS50's, so I bought an HS50 block and piston and am preparing an ultimate build:
-racing cam
-bigger valve springs (possibly B&S Animal valve springs?)
-billet rod
-animal carburetor
-new intake
-straight pipe (EDIT: I might try to open up an H35 muffler, since it's much less restrictive than the stock muffler)
-governor removal
-racing spark plug
-possible fuel pump
-HS40 head on HS50 block for compression
-port and polish job on exhaust & intake
Are OHH50/60 racing parts interchangeable with HS40/50's? I hopefully want to get OHH60 parts for the cam, rod, and spark plug.
Pictures to come.
