    HH70 silver glitter in oil

    Well when I first got the engine I opened it up after draining the old oil. It was clean and there was no build up of sludge or anything for the age of the engine. But the crank had a little scratch in it, more like a slight gouge. That may be what the dipstick is rubbing on. And the numbers are...

    Tecumseh 5hp Power Sport

    Tecumseh 5hp Power Sport

    My uncle has an old go kart with a Tecumseh power sport on it, its 5hp I believe. Well I replaced the breather tube because it had dry rotted and started spitting oil out.
