I have had this engine in my shed for years and now I have decided to use it on a project but I have some questions. I did a search of this site and a Google search and cannot find my particular engine number cross-referenced. The number is 143 7440232. I know that the 143 is the Tecumseh designation but I cant find my particular engine , even at sears parts direct. I need to order a carb rebuild kit, head gasket, points, condenser, intake and exhaust gaskets.
My other question is regarding the carburetor. This engine will go on an Alexander Reynolds (pictures to follow at a later date) The engine will be on an angle. I do not have an angled intake manifold but, due to the fact that this is a diaphragm carb, I believe that it will still operate normally even if it is mounted on an angle, is this correct?
