Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and had a few questions regarding my Tec H70. I got it out of a snowblower that the father in-law gave to me. He couldn't get it running and thought I would have a better time working on it.
I took off the valve cover on the side of the motor and found that the spring cup had broke in 1/2 and the spring was sitting loose around the valve stem.
Anyway, since I have a good foundation to start with I was wondering what was out there for this motor and where to get it. I've done some research and followed alot of links to find that every popular parts supplier doesn't list anything for this motor. I'm sure that D.A.R.E. can get parts but i have heard he's not reliable at all.
The vision that I have for my Tec is a billet rod, cam, stiffer springs, bigger valves, slide carb, port, polish, higher compression, billet flywheel and a different ignition????. The only thing that I have is a Mikuni slide carb from my Suzuki LT230.
I am a machinist and have all the equipment to make a few of the parts. Stuff like the cam and rods and maybe the valves I'd like to buy.
I know that many people will tell me to buy a briggs or a star, but where is the fun in that.
One last thing. How well balanced should the rotating assembly be on these small motors? +/_ 2 grams?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance!
